Generating Art

A repo to generate algorithmic art using python, focusing on fractals.

Getting Started

Just run any of the Python files to generate the corresponding GIF. For example:

python3 SierpinskiCarpet.py

or

python3 SierpinskiTriangle.py

or

python3 circles.py

Algorithmic Art in this repo

Sierpinski Carpet

The construction of the Sierpinski carpet begins with a square. The square is cut into 9 congruent subsquares in a 3-by-3 grid, and the central subsquare is removed. The same procedure is then applied recursively to the remaining 8 subsquares, ad infinitum.

Sierpinski Triangle

The Sierpiński triangle (sometimes spelled Sierpinski), also called the Sierpiński gasket or Sierpiński sieve, is a fractal attractive fixed set with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles.

Rainbow Circles

A grid of circles that change colours based on a rainbow pattern. First time using ImageIO.

Octagon Tiles

A tile made of convex and concave octagons, with each animated to switch to the other. All inspiiration and credit: http://tabletopwhale.com/colorpalette.html

Octagon Tiles

Individual tiles can be stacked to form a wall of tiles:

Built with

• PIL - Python Imaging Library (abbreviated as PIL) (in newer versions known as Pillow) is a free and open-source additional library for the Python programming language that adds support for opening, manipulating, and saving many different image file formats.

• ImageIO - Imageio is a Python library that provides an easy interface to read and write a wide range of image data, including animated images, volumetric data, and scientific formats. It is cross-platform, runs on Python 3.5+, and is easy to install.
