A different impression of the curved lines and the straight lines

 

Description of this creative coding.

It's a creative coding animation made with the 'Processing'.

The curve lines and the straight lines give a different impression even if the same number, same color, same width. I created an animation that shows waving curve lines become motionless straight lines suddenly.

This code does not display any images on the screen but generates image files in frames directory.
You can make an animation with these files.

 

The example code of the 'Processing'.

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.
