JW's Pictures and Patterns Site

Welcome

Hello,

Welcome to my site.

This is where I showcase the various images I've created over the years persuing my hobby of using maths to create patterns. Wherever possible I've tried to provide explanations of how the patterns are generated and in some cases I've provided Python Source code that you can download and adapt.

My earlier efforts were generated using Java applets and there are quite a few of these on this site.

More recently I've started creating Google App Engine applications, which allow me to run server-side Python scripts on Google's hardware. These are fully interactive, so you can enter whatever parameters you please and see what pattern results.

The site also contains some photos from some of my holidays, artwork by my brother and the fruits of my brother's butterfly hunting around the United Kingdon and in the West Indies.

Please Enjoy
Regards
John (eddaardvark@yahoo.co.uk)
