Truchet Curved Oddbals

These are mutations of the previous post. Some looks good. Some, well maybe not as much

Truchet '45 adaptor'

Remember those adaptors for 45 records so they'd play on 'normal' record players. Ok good, then you'll understand why this is called "45". Do those things have a real name?

Punchouts

This truchet tiling produces odd shaped "punchouts." At higher resolutions, the autocoloring is not as interesting as the just the outline.

Thick Vermicular

A little tweaking of the algorithm can produce "thick" versions of the vermicular pattern.

Hilbert space-filling-curves gone wild! Depth 5,6,7.

Truchet Outlined Curves

More square truchet tilings with a curved or zigzag outline. The versions on the left has a ratio of 50-50, while the right side has 90-10.

Mask Dots

This is the original "dots" where the masking algorithm was discovered/invented. The original motivation was to find a method to "optimally" place disks on the plane. While unsuited for that purpose, they do create a nice dither/halftone pattern and they have some other interesting properties to be revealed later.

The solid colors on the right have the same gray-scale density as the dither pattern on the left.

Crisscross Density Experiments

The crisscross pattern with different densities. The rows get successively sparser (less dense) while the right column is a 4x zoom of the left column.

Patchwork

Two different variations.
