Omniacs Off the Clock: Making Art with R
"Omniacs off the Clock" is a series where we'll share fun posts that deviate a bit from our typical cryptocurrency and analytics topics. Our intent is to publish entertaining content revolving around our more quirky interests.
Inspired by Antonio S. Chinchón's article on R generated artwork], we fiddled with the code used to create his "Summoning Cthulhu" visualization to make a derivative piece we call "Cthulhu's Golden Pear".
If you'd like to recreate this image, fire up R and run the following code:
install.packages("tidyverse")
library(tidyverse)
seq(-4,3,by=.01) %>%
expand.grid(x=.,y=.) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=(x^5-sin(y^2)),y=(y^2-sin(x^2))))+
geom_point(alpha=.07,shape=22,size=0,color="orange")+
theme_void()+coord_fixed()+
theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill="black"))+coord_polar()
Feel free to play around with the parameters that define the color, mathematical function, and size. You might just create something cool! When you do, let us know and we'll tweet about it!
