Serial Polar Transformation Motifs Revisited
Gary R. Greenfield · 2005
Elliot and Bleicher considered using compositions of polar transformations — functions from the plane to the plane viewed as transformations from polar to cartesian coordinates — as a method for generating computer images. In this paper we revisit this technique for creating what we call motifs in order to more carefully consider: (1) how these transformations are defined, (2) implementation and resolution issues, (3) motif coloring, and (4) the automated evolution of motifs.
