Add a radial "grid" type to the grid tool
Notgnoshi opened this issue · comments
Concentric circles, with radial spokes. Graph output is likely the most useful.
With a higher density than typical grids, it may make for some interesting asemic glyphs.
At a low density, it should make concentric squares, which would still probably make interesting glyphs?
I can think of two approaches, both of which I think I want to do
- Re-interpret a set of (x, y) geometries as if they are (r, theta)
- Would need a
densify
/simplify
tool (geo providesSimplify
andSimplifyVw
algorithms) - Use
transform
to convert (x, y) <-> (r, theta) - Use
transform
to apply arbitrary rhai functions to each coordinate (Could use some of the transformations from Morphing: A Guide to Mathematical Transformations for Architects and Designers)
- Would need a
- Generate a radial grid in (x, y) coordinates. Tunable parameters:
- number of spokes
- number of points on a spoke
- number of concentric rings
- number of points between axes OR the distance between points
