Math art

Create mathematical art with R

This package provides functions and data for creating mathematical art.

Note: Previously this package contained functions for generating data from parametric equations discovered by the mathematical artist Hamid Naderi Yeganeh. The equations, which are publically available, generate data that, when plotted without further processing, closely resemble Hamid's artworks. To ensure that I do not inadvertently receive credit for Hamid's work and out of respect for the artist I have removed any functions and plots derived from his equations, and apologise to Hamid for any confusion this may have caused.

How to use

Install the packages

install.packages(c("devtools", "mapproj", "tidyverse", "ggforce", "Rcpp"))
devtools::install_github("marcusvolz/mathart")

Load the libraries

library(mathart)
library(ggforce)

Create mollusc shells

The shell model is described in the paper "Models for mollusc shell shape" by M.B. Cortie (1989).

See also the following Gist.

df <- mollusc()
df1 <- df %>% mutate(id = 1)
df2 <- df %>% mutate(id = 2)
df3 <- df %>% mutate(id = 3)

p <- ggplot() +
  geom_point(aes(x, y), df1, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  geom_path( aes(x, y), df1, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  geom_point(aes(x, z), df2, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  geom_path( aes(x, z), df2, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  geom_point(aes(y, z), df3, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  geom_path( aes(y, z), df3, size = 0.03, alpha = 0.03) +
  facet_wrap(~id, nrow = 2, scales = "free") +
