generativeart
generativeart is a Go package to generate many kinds of generative art. The goal is to collect some excellent generative art (implemented in R or Processing), and rewrite them in Go again. I would paste the original link at the end of this README(If I remember. You can also submit a PR if you found I miss something.). Currently, it supports the following type.
This package is still working in progress, more types would be added. Welcome anyone interested in this filed to submit your PR.
- Maze
- Julia Set
- Random Circle Trails
- Silk Smoke
- Spiral Square
- Square Grid
- Circle Line
- Circle Loop
- Silk Sky
- Dot Line
- Swirl
- Point Ribbon
- Janus
- Random Shapes
For these kinds of art, the package provides as many as parameters to control the appearance.
Install
The go version I used is go 1.16.
go get github.com/jdxyw/generativeart
Art Type
NewCircleLine(step float64, lineNum int, radius, xaixs, yaixs float64)
NewCircleLoop(radius float64)
NewMaze(step int)
NewRandCicle(mc, msp int, minStep, maxStep, minr, maxr float64, isRandColor bool)
NewSilkSky(circleNum int, sunRadius float64)
NewSilkSmoke(mc, msp int, minStep, maxStep, minRadius, maxRadius float64, isRandColor bool)
NewSpiralSquare(squareNum int, rectSide, decay float64, randColor bool)
NewSwirl(a, b, c, d, xaixs, yaixs float64)
NewDotLine(n int, ras, canv float64, randColor bool)
NewPointRibbon(r float64)
NewJanus(n int, decay float64)
NewRandomShape(shapeNum int)
General Options
type Options struct {
background color.RGBA
foreground color.RGBA
lineColor color.RGBA
lineWidth float64
colorSchema []color.RGBA
nIters int
alpha int
}
The Options is a global option for the whole canva. It includes those general parameters used by different kinds of types, such as background, lineColor, and colorScheme.
For those parameters specified for different kinds of art type, they have their own struct.
