Simple example of a rosette with two-color symmetry
To keep things simple I am creating rosette with six-fold rotational symmetry. The mapping functions are, using polar coordinates: X = r³ cos(6*φ) and Y = r³ sin(6*φ). An input image of a single butterfly results in 6 distorted butterflies: The black … Continue reading

Color transformation
I am now discussing color transformations for creating kaleidoscopic images with two-color symmetry. Each pixel has three color components: red, green and blue. Their values are between 0 and 255. Thus we can think that a pixel color is a point with … Continue reading

Kaleidoscopes with twofold color symmetry.
A checkerboard is a square lattice with twofold color symmetry. The alternating black and white squares make it more interesting than a simple square lattice. Thus I want to have too some twofold color symmetry for our kaleidoscopes. Farris has done this … Continue reading
