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 pursuing 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 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 recent examples were written in Python.

Most recently I've started using Google's Native Client which allows me to create applications that run in the browser, so long as your browser is Chrome. See here for the current list.

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)

News

March 2012: Updated the google native client Interactive Spirograph application to enable colouring in the patterns. I've also added the spirograph source code.

February 2012: Added an interactive version of the Pythagorean triple calculator. This also requires the google native client plugin.
