Abstract:

We describe a simple and practical algorithm for arranging a collection of images (“characters”) in a perspective layout that looks uniform. Randomness and tunable parameters make for varied layouts, with no repetition of a pattern. We present an application of this algorithm to an art installation made from paper printed with computed layouts and folded along curved creases.
