Definitions

piping [ pahy-ping ] 1

  1. pipes collectively; a system or network of pipes.

  2. material formed into a pipe or pipes.

The Background

The piping algorithm bases on the artTangram() and uses the same grid system to produce an artistic canvas with modules.

The Shapes

There are 4 possibilities for each module and the shapes are free to turn 90, 180, 270 degrees around the module center.

  1. A rectangle

  2. A cross

  3. A L shape

  4. A T shape


The Grid

The grid can be minimum 3x3. The maximum grid count bases on the canvas size and it is likely around 15x15 on the most screens.


The Color Palettes

There are 5 color palettes:

  1. Bg: Black, Fg: White

  2. Bg: White, Fg: Black

  3. Bg: Dark gray, Fg: Light gray

  4. Bg: A light color, Fg: Black

  5. Bg: A dark color, Fg: White


The Styles

There are 4 possible styles:

  1. No fill, just outlines

  2. Partially filled with transparencies, partially outlines

  3. Partially filled, partially outlines

  4. Fully filled


The Spacing

The spacing between modules can be minimum 0. There is also chance to have a spacing. The spacings base on the canvas size and they are not constant values.
