Presentation for the Amsterdam.rb meetup of 17 April.
This talk is heavily inspired by the excellent workshop Escher in Elm by the awesome Einar Host. His workshop in turn was based on the 1982 classic paper functional geometry, or at least the revision from 2002.
Be creating good abstractions and relying on function composition one is able to succinctly express pictures, like Eschers Square Limit.
Below is an image of the dependencies between different files.
The presentation is defined in the Markdown file functional_geometry.md in the
docs directory.
To view the presentation got to the docs directory and run a HTTP server
python -m SimpleHTTPServerOpen localhost:8000. Or it can be viewed online.
To create a picture describe it in escher.rb and run
ruby escher.rb > ../image/<INSERT NAME>.svgTo show a box, do the same, but in show_box.rb, running
ruby show_box.rb > ../image<INSERT NAME>.svg
