Mathematical Graphic Patterns
✓ Published17🌍 Public
This example creates an animated, abstract visualization of mathematical graphic patterns. A grid of 900 points is repositioned and resized over time, with each point’s radius and color changing continuously, producing a shimmering, organic composition on a canvas. The animation is built using the Canvas API, with a recursive `requestAnimationFrame` loop driving the updates. The code defines a custom `rgb()` helper and uses trigonometric functions to compute positions and radii, while a faint black overlay creates a fading trail effect. The visualization adapts to the browser window’s dimensions by resizing the canvas dynamically.
