Pattern Created through Randomized Vectors – Example 6.4
If you’ve stuck with the examples this far, this one should prove pretty easy. I am showing it here for a bit more practice with vectors and data structuring, but this will serve as a base for a recursive pattern script in the next series of examples. Try and create your own script using only…

Interaction between Vectors and Vector Addition – Example 6.3
In the previous examples 6.1 and 6.2 we looked at some simple vector fields. The first had only one set of vectors, while the second had multiple controls for the vectors, but the vectors did not interact with each other. To create truly dynamic geometry and also to prepare ourselves for some later examples where…

Multiple Point Vector Field – Example 6.2
As explained in the previous example, vectors are not geometry in and of themselves, but are used to influence geometry, by orienting it, moving it, etc. In the last example we oriented rectangles. In this example, we will use referenced points to move control points on a curve so that those points are redrawn. Basically,…

Simple Vector Field – Example 6.1
This example serves as an introduction to the concept of Vectors and Vector Fields. Working with Vectors can be initially a bit difficult to grasp, but it is fundamental to creating many types of dynamic geometry and is well worth spending some time to understand and work with. So the first question is, what is…
