This canvas animation draws a rotating, flower-like pattern of curved lines radiating from a central point, with small solid circles placed at each outer endpoint. The design morphs continuously as the entire shape rotates and dashed lines shift in a repeating loop. Built with raw JavaScript and the Canvas API, the code uses a quadratic curve for each spoke, along with rotation transforms, dashed strokes, and a semi-transparent overlay to create the illusion of motion. The animation is driven by `requestAnimationFrame`, updating the line dash offset and rotation angle over time.

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.

Random Fun Stuff

A canvas animation draws a continuously evolving radial burst of lines from the center of the screen. Using the HTML5 Canvas API's `getContext('2d')`, the code repeatedly strokes line segments from the center to coordinates computed from sine and cosine functions of the current time and angle. Each frame, a semi-transparent white rectangle gradually fades previous strokes, creating a fading trail effect. The animation runs via `requestAnimationFrame`, recalculating angles and positions with the `Date.now()` timestamp to produce a dynamic, rotating pattern.

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.

Fork of Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated canvas piece generates a shifting grid of glowing colored circles that ripple outward in a spiral formation, creating a dynamic, screensaver-like visual effect. The pattern continuously redraws over a semi-transparent black background, leaving faint trails as the positions and radii of the circles evolve over time. Rendering uses the Canvas 2D API with `getContext('2d')` and `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth animation. Each circle’s color, size, and location are computed from sine and cosine functions of grid coordinates and a steadily incrementing time variable, producing a complex, mathematically driven display.

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

This animated canvas visualization displays a grid of circles that ripple outward in concentric, rotating patterns resembling a living mathematical kaleidoscope. The code, written by hotdoujiang, generates each circle’s position and radius using trigonometric functions of a continuously incrementing `time` variable, while colors shift through an RGB spectrum based on grid coordinates. The rendering uses the raw Canvas 2D API with `fillRect` to create a fading trail effect and `arc` calls to draw individual circles. The pattern adapts to the window size, recalculating dimensions and offsets as the browser resizes.

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`.

Canvas Animation Using D3.js

This example demonstrates how to apply D3.js’s enter-update-exit pattern and transitions to custom DOM elements, then render their positions and radii onto an HTML5 canvas. A dat.GUI control regenerates randomized circle data, triggering smooth positional and size animations on custom `<c>` nodes. A `MutationObserver` watches attribute changes on a custom element container and redraws the canvas whenever those animated attributes update, bridging the gap between D3’s DOM-centric data joins and canvas-based rendering. The code uses `d3.select`, `transition.attr`, and the Canvas 2D `arc` API.
