Computer Generated Islamic Star Patterns
نویسنده
چکیده
Islamic star patterns are a beautiful and highly geometric art form whose original design techniques are lost in history. We describe one procedure for constructing them based on placing radially-symmetric motifs in a formation dictated by a tiling of the plane, and show some styles in which they can be rendered. We also show some results generated with a software implementation of the technique.

Parameterized Modeling of Star Patterns for Traditional Latticed Screens
This work makes the contribution of developing a parametric modeler for designing Islamic star patterns. The intention here is to innovate with new interpretations of star patterns for latticed screens, which are reminiscent of the Indo-Mughal era. With a motivation for providing traditional appearance to the buildings like resorts and hotels, traditional latticed screens with Islamic star patt...
متن کاملIslamic star patterns from polygons in contact
We present a simple method for rendering Islamic star patterns based on Hankin’s “polygons-in-contact” technique. The method builds star patterns from a tiling of the plane and a small number of intuitive parameters. We show how this method can be adapted to construct Islamic designs reminiscent of Huff’s parquet deformations. Finally, we introduce a geometric transformation on tilings that exp...
متن کاملThe Geometric Rosette : analysis of an Islamic decorative motif
1. Among the many different star-like motifs used in the geometrical art of Islam, there is one which stands out as distinctively "Islamic" (see fig. 1). We shall call this motif a geometric rosette, since it resembles a flower or rosette, with an outer ring formed by a variable number of "petals" encircling a central star. One possible interpretation of the formal, if not historical, origin of...
متن کاملMathematical Tools for Computer-Generated Ornamental Patterns
This article presents mathematical tools for computer-generated ornamental patterns, with a particular attention payed to Islamic patterns. The article shows how, starting from a photo or a sketch of an ornamental figure, the designer analyzes its structure and produces the analytical representation of the pattern. This analytical representation in turn is used to produce a drawing which is int...
