Animations

In my spare time I like to make hypnotic cyclic animations with trigonometic functions. On this page you'll find a grab-bag of some of the fun ones I've thrown together over the years, all made in the extremely useful and lightweight freeware program "graph", which I strongly recommend to anyone who will listen.

Eye

Glitchy patterns from deliberate undersampling of the curves

Whirlpool

Fun speckled rotating patterns with trig and speckles with random noise

Barberpole

Shfiting linear waves with warping

SMBH

Re-creation of the QUT astro club logo in graphpad

Tan-Flower

A flower-like pattern from the winding of exponentials on a polar axis

Sine Chaos

A demonstration of a discrete chaotic process wrapped around a polar axis

Quasar

Dumb little sketch of a quasar

Rotor

A demonstration of how polar functions can produce interesting patterns if you feed them trigonometric functions

Spring Projection

A demonstration of how 2D geometry can give the illusion of a 3D object

Mean Median Mode

A demonstration of mean, modal and median stats on a 1D assymetric PDF

Spiral Anim 3

A fun spiralling animation

Flower

A polygon with vertices tracing out paths on a shifting landscape

Basket Weave

A fun demonstration of Lissajous Curves at changing frequency

Binary

The first 3 modes of a square wave with counter-rotating phases wrapped around the polar axis

Dotto

Point clouds distributed according to Gaussian (red) and Cauchy (Blue) distributions, condensed onto the unit domain
