Image operation (shear/block/edge)
I got this idea for a cool image operation from an image in the book “Conceptual Blockbusting”. The seed image was basically just a bunch of sheared black and white rectangles. I wanted to create a similar image from some source image, but have a bunch of colored rectangles. I ended up using rotated and scaled rectangles. The result wasn’t near as good as I had hoped, but I figured since I wasted a little bit of time on it, that it was worth sharing. I tried adding edges as well. Didn’t work out all that great but whatever.
Check out the source code. It requires some code from a previous post on shock filtering, and it uses cairo to do the drawing (shear source code).
