This function draws the Physarum polycephalum slime mold on a canvas. The algorithm simulates particles on a two-dimensional grid that move towards areas on the grid with a high intensity.
canvas_slime(
colors,
background = "#000000",
iterations = 2000,
agents = 1000,
layout = c(
"random", "gaussian", "circle", "grid",
"clusters", "arrows", "wave", "spiral"
),
resolution = 1000
)Arguments
- colors
a character (vector) specifying the color(s) used for the artwork.
- background
a character specifying the color used for the background.
- iterations
a positive integer specifying the number of iterations of the algorithm.
- agents
a positive integer specifying the number of agents to use.
- layout
a character specifying the initial layout of the agents. Possible options are
random(default),gaussian,circle,grid,clusters,arrowsandwave.- resolution
resolution of the artwork in pixels per row/column. Increasing the resolution increases the quality of the artwork but also increases the computation time exponentially.
Value
A ggplot object containing the artwork.
