Parallel Integral Curves
Understanding vector fields resulting from large scientific simulations is an important and often difficult task. Integral curves, curves that are tangential to a vector field at each point, are a powerful visualization method in this context. Application of integral curve-based visualization to very large vector field data represents a significant challenge due to the non-local and data-depend...
متن کاملGeneralized Self-Approaching Curves
We consider all planar oriented curves that have the following property depending on a xed angle '. For each point B on the curve, the rest of the curve lies inside a wedge of angle ' with apex in B. This property restrains the curve's meandering, and for ' 2 this means that a point running along the curve always gets closer to all points on the remaining part. For all ' < , we provide an upper...
متن کاملSelf-overlapping curves revisited
Let S be a surface embedded in space in such a way that each point has a neighborhood within which the surface is a terrain. Then S projects to an immersed surface in the plane, the boundary of which is a (possibly self-intersecting) curve. Under what circumstances can we reverse these mappings algorithmically? Shor and van Wyk considered one such problem, determining whether a curve is the bou...
متن کاملSmooth Self-Similar Curves
I present a technique for constructing self-similar curves from smooth base curves. The technique is similar to that used in Iterated Function Systems like the Koch curve, except that it does not require a piecewise linear path in order to induce a set of similarities. I explain the mathematical machinery behind the technique, describe a practical numerical approximation that can be implemented...
متن کاملSelf-Approaching Curves
We present a new class of curves which are self-approaching in the following sense. For any three consecutive points a, b, c on the curve the point b is closer to c than a to c. This is a generalisation of curves with increasing chords which are self-approaching in both directions. We show a tight upper bound of 5.3331 . . . for the length of a self-approaching curve over the distance between i...
