%! % If you're concerned that the cpu in your PostScript printer will atrophy % from disuse, here is another Escher-like contribution to to keep it busy % for a while. It uses PostScript color commands, but will still work on % a monochrome printer (but isn't very pretty in black & white). % % The butterflies are arranged in a hexagonal grid (wallpaper group p6), % and the moveto, lineto, curveto commands used to render the tesselation % are redefined so as to impose a nonlinear transform that shrinks the % infinite plane to an ellipse. This is a sleazy way to mimic Escher's % "circle limit" sorts of things. % % The butterfly permimeter was made by imposing all the symmetry constraints % on a path, and then that path was filled in using Adobe Illustrator % % The routines Xform and next_color are easy to change if you want to hack % with them. The code was written to sacrifice efficiency for readability. % % Bob Wallis % % UUCP {sun,pyramid,cae780,apple}!weitek!wallis /eschersave save def % prevent left over side effects %statusdict begin
