Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Fibonacci Fill Wassit? It's a pattern generator. It creates colored squares which spiral outwards from the central point. Each successive square has a side length equal to the sum of the previous two squares' sides. Hence the squares have sides with a length (in pixels) of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 8+13=21, 21+13=34.... The pattern doesn't change, unless you hit the Threefold checkbox. Other than that, the plugin allows you to adjust the center location and fiddle with the palette. Who dun it? Fibonacci Fill is a collaboration between Ego Eram Reputo and Red Ochre. Red provided all the cool bits - I do concepts and the basic stuff Why? I devised Fibonacci Fill to create backdrops for websites I was creating. Like this one: http://scriptuswebdesign.blogspot.co.nz/ The pattern is interesting and the files extremely small when optimized (like with OptiPNG). Just what the Web Designer ordered! Compatibility: Fibonacci Fill works with both 3.5.11 and 4.0x. Where? You'll find Fibonacci Fill under Effects > Render How? Install this plugin by downloading my plugin pack http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/110145-eers-plugin-pack/ Unzip it and run the installer (written by BoltBait). Restart paint.net.

midora Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Maybe add a feature to use rectangles with a width-to-height ratio of 1:sqrt(2) instead of squares (The A papers aspect ratio). You may also fill the squares with an image from the clipboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It was a long pregnancy but finally I hear the click-click of a new addition to the Effects family! - congratulations! EER - did all the hard work on this one and deserves all the credit - I only threw in a few minor suggestions. Maybe add a feature to use rectangles with a width-to-height ratio of 1:sqrt(2) instead of squares (The A papers aspect ratio). Perhaps the ratio 1: 1.61803399... (phi) might be useful too - but probably quite awkward to rewrite the plugin. 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks guys. @midora - I like the clipboard idea. I might give that some further thought. I'm not sure that messing with the height-width ratio is going to make the pattern tile perfectly. Some experimentation is in order.... @Red Ochre - sorry about clipping your name in the dialog title bar Who is this Red Oc anyway? Will Phi make the pattern tile?

midora Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 @midora - I'm not sure that messing with the height-width ratio is going to make the pattern tile perfectly. Some experimentation is in order.... The inverted algorithm is: Divide the rectangle on the long side in two equal halfs and then add one half. Do the same with this half. This works with all rectangle but the advantage of the 1:sqrt(2) ratio is that each half has again the 1:sqrt(2) ratio. This will not happen with Phi or other ratios ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks Midora. That will mean a rewrite of the algorithm I used. Not a big problem, but I have another plugin to finish first.
