Illusion of rain

A grid of small circles falls steadily down the canvas like rain, while a separate set of static grey circles and one gold circle sit in the upper region as a backdrop. The rain effect is animated with a Canvas 2D context, using `requestAnimationFrame` and `Math.sin` to oscillate each dot’s horizontal position and size. The drop size toggles between blue and light blue fills based on a sine threshold. The SVG defines the fixed circles, and the JavaScript loop redraws the moving grid each frame.

canvas circles

The visualization displays a grid of randomly colored circles that continuously appear and expand across the screen. It shows a generative animation where each frame introduces new circles at shuffled grid positions, growing from zero to full size before fading away. The code uses D3.js with SVG elements, leveraging transitions to animate circle radius and removal. Rendering depends on the d3-starterkit and d3-jetpack libraries for concise element creation and data binding. Colors are randomly generated RGB values applied to fill and stroke. The animation runs indefinitely via recursive setTimeout calls, creating an evolving, ever-changing mosaic of overlapping rings on a dark background.

Mathematical Graphic Patterns

A grid of 30 by 30 small circles continuously shifts and morphs in an animated screensaver-like display. Each circle’s position and size are driven by sine and cosine functions of its grid coordinates and a continually advancing time value, producing swirling, geometric motion. The code uses Canvas drawing APIs such as `getContext('2d')`, `beginPath`, `arc`, and `fill` to render the circles, with colors computed via a custom `rgb` function based on grid position and time. The animation runs through `requestAnimationFrame`, and the canvas resizes to match the window dimensions.

Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated canvas visualization generates evolving geometric patterns from a grid of circles. The code maps a 30×30 grid of points through sine and cosine functions using time-based parameters, causing the positions and sizes of the circles to shift continuously. Each frame applies a semi-transparent black overlay before redrawing, creating fading trails that enhance the motion effect. The rendering uses the Canvas 2D API’s `arc()` and `fillRect()` methods, with colors computed from sine waves tied to the grid position and animation time. The visualization is inspired by a mathematical patterns tutorial and runs as an infinite loop via `requestAnimationFrame`.

Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This example generates an animated, abstract screensaver-like pattern using a grid of circles on an HTML canvas. A 30×30 grid animates each point over time, with positions and radii driven by sine and cosine functions of a continuously increasing time variable, creating swirling, rhythmic motion. The code uses the Canvas API’s 2D rendering context (`canvas.getContext('2d')`) and `requestAnimationFrame` to update frames, with a semi-transparent black overlay to create fading trails. Circle colors shift smoothly through RGB values based on grid position, while the canvas dynamically resizes to the browser window.

Wave Motion

A grid of faint circular outlines fills the background, representing water parcels in a calm state. Overlaid on this, bright dots travel along the perimeters of each ring, rotating in coordinated, wave-like patterns that ripple across the canvas. The animation uses a d3-timer to update the rotation angle for each dot, with position and rotation calculated from the grid index and elapsed time. Two layered Canvas 2D contexts render the static rings and the moving dots, with devicePixelRatio scaling for sharp display on high-DPI screens.

Fork of Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated visualization displays a grid of 30 by 30 circles that orbit and pulse in a rhythmic, colorful pattern, creating a hypnotic screensaver effect. Circles move along circular paths with varying radii and speeds, while their size and color shift over time based on sine functions tied to the animation clock. The canvas API handles all rendering, with requestAnimationFrame driving the continuous loop and a semi-transparent fillRect creating motion trails. The code uses no external libraries, drawing directly as a fork of the original mathematical patterns tutorial.

Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated canvas visualization generates evolving geometric patterns from a grid of circles. Each frame, the code computes positions and radii using trigonometric functions of time and grid coordinates, creating swirling, morphing shapes with shifting colors. The animation runs continuously via `requestAnimationFrame`, with a semi-transparent black overlay (Canvas `fillRect`) producing trailing motion blur effects. The canvas resizes dynamically to fit the window, and all rendering uses the native Canvas 2D API, including `arc` and `fill` for circle drawing. No external libraries are used; the math-driven design follows the original MIT tutorial’s approach.

Circular Layout (Raindrops)

A circular layout of raindrop-shaped paths radiates from the center, each filled with a shared linear gradient that shifts from pale blue to deep navy. A random size and radial distance are applied to each of the 358 shapes, creating a scattered, organic dispersion. Built with D3 v3 and SVG, the example constructs each raindrop using a custom path generator that calculates a circle with a pointed tail based on a size parameter. The transform attribute combines rotation and translation to position every drop around the circle.
