POINT ONa line

A web study through the essential regarding (a) point(s) and their geometrical relationship to other basic geometrical figures.

1.Point on/and a line

Brief, focused on linear apps, requires average knowledge of maths, the geometryalgorithms.

A couple of computationally translated bits, exactly how we like it!

Lemniscape

The above images are modified and animated 3d sections(rings) of basic complex surfaces found at Paul Bource’s reaaally useful website.

Made with Processing.

In this case the section runs through a butterfly-like surface, called lemniscape at Bource’s site.
