Overview

A Tour in the Wonderland of Math with Python

A collection of python scripts for drawing beautiful figures and animating interesting algorithms in mathematics.

About this repo

The purpose of this project is to show the beauty of math with python by rendering high quality images, videos and animations. It consists of several independent projects with each one illustrates a special object/algorithm in math. The current list contains:

  • Aperiodic tilings like Penrose tiling, Ammann-Beenker tiling, etc.
  • Triology on perfectly random sampling algorithms.
    1. Domino shuffling algorithm on Aztec diamonds.
    2. Wilson's uniform spanning tree algorithm on 2d grids.
    3. Coupling from the past algorithm on lozenge tilings.
  • Hopf fibration.
  • 3D and 4D Uniform polytopes.
  • 2D uniform tilings and 3D uniform honeycombs in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces.
  • Make gif animations of various algorithms.
  • Lots of shader animations.
  • Miscellaneous scripts like E8 root system, Mandelbrot set, Newton's fractal, Lorenz attractor, etc.

These topics are chosen largely due to my personal taste:

  1. They must produce appealing results.
  2. There must be some non-trivial math behind them.
  3. The code should be as simple as possible.

I'll use only popular python libs and build all math stuff by hand (tools like sage, sympy, mathemetica will not be used here).

Gallery

The code for some of the images are not in the master branch, they can be found in the released version.

  • Uniform 3D and 4D polytopes

  • Möbius transformations

  • 3D Euclidean uniform honeycombs and their duals

  • Gray-Scott simulation

  • 3D hyperbolic uniform honeycombs

  • Limit set of rank 4 Coxeter groups

  • Aperiodic tilings

  • 3D Fractals

  • Coxeter automata and 2D Uniform tilings

  • GIF animations of various algorithms

  • Others

Many more to be comtinued ...

How to use

All projects here are implemented in a ready-to-use manner for new comers. You can simply run the examples without tweaking any parameters once you have the dependencies installed correctly.

Dependencies

The recommended way to install all dependencies is simply running the bash script install_dependencies.sh.

sudo bash install_dependencies.sh

Or you can install the python libs by pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Open source softwares required:

  • python3-tk (for file dialog)
  • ImageMagick (for making gif animations)
  • FFmpeg (for saving animations to video files)
  • POV-Ray (for generating high quality raytracing results)
  • graphviz (for drawing automata of Coxeter groups)
  • Inkscape (optional, for convering large svg files to png)

They can all be installed via command-line:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk imagemagick ffmpeg povray graphviz inkscape

Note pygraphviz also requires libgraphviz-dev:

sudo apt-get install libgraphviz-dev

In the scripts these softwares are called in command line as povray, ffmpeg, convert (from ImageMagick), etc. For Windows users you should add the directories contain these .exe files to the system Path environment variables to let the system know what executables these commands refer to. For example on Windows the default location of POV-Ray's exe file is C:\Program Files\POV-Ray\v3.7\bin\pvengine64.exe, so you should add C:\Program Files\POV-Ray\v3.7\bin to system Path and rename pvengine64.exe to povray.exe, then you can run the scripts without any changes and everything works fine.

Thanks

I have learned a lot from the following people:

    Question about gifmaze module and pypi

    Hello.

    I would lile to contribute to the gifmaze module, but I am a bit lost between the various versions of this code.

    So :

    • is this the "official" gifmaze.py source code repository ? :)
    • do you plan on publishing new version of gifmaze on pypi.org ?
    • are you willing to accept pull requests ?

    Regards

    Hi there, Really nice animations and super cool project! I am wondering if there is any plan to add Universal Random Structures in 2D (work by Scott Sheffield and Jason Miller). This Quanta article gives some good introduction, and there are more demo images here: http://statslab.cam.ac.uk/~jpm205/images.html

  • Use dictionary for parse_image to speed up image parsing.

    Use dictionary for parse_image to speed up image parsing.

    In parse_image, we do a membership check on colors, which is a list, and takes O(n) time. Using a dictionary is effectively a drop in replacement, but reduces lookup time to O(1), and offers a 5x speedup for the image for example4() in gifmaze/example_maze_animations (1.1421077s to 0.213111s)

    (Note that in Python 3.6+, dictionaries are ordered by default, but if you want to support 3.5 and below, OrderedDict is need)
