Description

The box-fitter subdivides space according to a random partitioning strategy, fitting randomly sized equivalent areas within the overall working space. It is similar to the method used in the Pixel Robots applet.

Applets

BoxFit01 "BoxFitter" base class just plain squares to show the structure shaded by area BoxFit02 "ColoredBoxFitter" derived class color areas based on underlying texture BoxFit03 "JigglyColoredBoxFitter" derived class color areas based on underlying texture rotate by h/s/b BoxFit04 "FlippyTexturedBoxFitter" derived class draw texture itself flip horz/vert randomly

Algorithm

A grid of box cells is created at some resolution less than or equal to the input image's resolution. Those cells are then allocated into smaller sub-areas in order to form the "pattern" of boxes.

The source image is then "sampled" in some way to derive a coloring or texturing method for each box.
