  1. Wenn du einem Informatiker sagst, er soll da "einfach ein paar verschieden große Löcher rein bohren".

  2. Saturday AM, a story in two acts...

    (Incl. placing crumbs by approaching it like a #PoissonDisk / #BlueNoise problem... 😅)

    #CakeDay

  3. Just posted a new #ThingUmbrella example: Image-based Poisson-disk sampling, using the image brightness as minium distance function between points to spatially vary densities...

    Demo:
    demo.thi.ng/umbrella/poisson-i

    Commented source code (<50 lines):
    github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/blo

    Benchmark:
    31506 points @ 719.10ms
    (max. 500 failed attempts to place a point, using a kD-Tree as spatial index)

  4. Still only on a feature branch, but over the past few days I've been working on updating thi.ng/geom to add support for polygons with holes and paths with holes (or more generally support for sub-paths, e.g. multiple curves). Since both of these shape types are containers of multiple geometries and therefore require in some situations (e.g. shape conversions) different handling than the other shapes with a single boundary/geometry, adding support for these also includes updating a dozen or so polymorphic shape operators/functions and unfortunately will involve a few of breaking changes. For instance, some of these functions are returning an array of shapes now, instead of just a single one. Also related, some of the other geom support packages (e.g. thi.ng/geom-axidraw, thi.ng/geom-sdf) will have to be refactored more and partially have been already (likely only internally, though)...

    As part of this work, I've also just added example #160(!!!) to demonstrate & test out some of this new functionality:

    Demo:
    demo.thi.ng/umbrella/geom-comp

    Source:
    github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/blo

    Commits:
    github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/com

    I will of course send another update once this all has been merged & released...

  5. Nothing new, but maybe a little unusual: Using boids as alternative to Lloyd relaxation and/or Poisson-disk sampling. The boids here are using only two behaviors: local separation, plus a randomized attractor to create global disturbances. Cell density could also be varied by spatially adjusting the separation distance between boids. Overall convergence/relaxation can be much faster than shown here...
