yinyang folding into itself

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to make a wave whichs "tips over" into itself and continues endlessly. Of course my math sucks so I'm just playing around
Code: Select all
startshape circle_path
path round {
MOVETO{y 1} // required
ARCTO{y -1 r 1}
ARCTO{y 1 r 1}
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
}
path halfround {
MOVETO { y 1 }
ARCTO{y -1 r 1}
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
}
rule sinus {
halfround { x 1 y 0}
halfround { x 1 y -2 r 180 }
}
rule body_wave {
round { x 0.5 y 0.5 }
sinus { s 0.5 flip 180 }
}
rule circle_path {
body_wave { }
body_wave { s 0.5 flip 90 x 0.75 y -0.25 }
body_wave { s 0.25 x 0.37 y -0.37 }
}
edit: it seems I cant attach the picture ? I have to put it online somewhere myself ?

Ok! So I made my folding yinyang circle thingie
edit: I'm trying to make the top part smaller so the lower parts will
be more visible. maybe I need to use scaling or something. if someone
has a tip to make the top part say 0.25 and the lower part 0.75 size...
(I'll figure it out eventually though...
)
Code: Select all
startshape yinyang
path round {
MOVETO{ y 1} // required
ARCTO{ y -1 r 1}
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
ARCTO{ y -3 r 1 p cw }
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
ARCTO { y 1 }
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
MOVETO { y -3 }
ARCTO { y 1 p cw }
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
}
path circle {
MOVETO{y 1} // required
ARCTO{y -1 r 1}
ARCTO{y 1 r 1}
STROKE{ width 0.01 }
}
rule double {
round {}
circle { s 0.5 }
}
rule twoshape {
7 * { flip 90 s 0.5 y -1.5 } double { }
}
rule yinyang {
twoshape {}
}

Hi hmny!
That's funny, I'm also playing with the yinyang on my times.
Here's an experiment I've done with Processing. Also there's
another yinyang topic in this forum.
Also, what do you think of these modifications:
Code: Select all
startshape twoshape
path round {
MOVETO{ y 1}
ARCTO{ y 0 r .5}
ARCTO{ y -3 r 1.5 p cw }
ARCTO { y 1 }
MOVETO { y -3 }
ARCTO { y 1 p cw }
STROKE{width 0.01 }
}
path circle {
MOVETO{y 1}
ARCTO{y -1 r 1}
ARCTO{y 1 r 1}
STROKE{ width 0.05 }
}
rule double {
round {}
circle { s 0.2 y .5 }
}
rule twoshape {
7 * { flip 90 s 0.75 y -.75 } double { }
}

Hey!
Thanks for your reply! Your modifications do make it look more visible for me
I saw your expirement! glad I didnt see it when I was trying to make mine would have kept me from wanting to learn howto do it
cool to see there are so many differnt approaches!!
