The Vector field using the De Jong attractor calculation.

A vector field calculated with the De Jong attractor formula.

I made this creative coding work with the 'Processing'. It creates an image of the storm in the Ukiyoe style.

It draws a Vector field with the De Jong attractor formula. I tried to use the De Jong attractor formula as an angle of calculating the coordinates of the Vector field.

This code does not display any images on the screen but just generates image files.

 

The 'Processing' code example.

Please feel free to use this example code under the terms of the GPL. To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.
