Laplacian growth implementation

edited January 2014 in Library Questions

Hi,

does anyone know of a library for Processing/Java that implements the equations of laplacian growth as described in this paper: http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/FRAC/laplacian_large.pdf ? I want to use them to generate a coral structure but I'm not a math expert and would appreciate a way to easily implement it into my code, especially when I can use it in conjunction with vector paths and recursive functions.

I'd be thankful for any kinds of suggestions!

  • I am also keen to know how to implement such complex mathematical equation. Once I have asked the same question but no one has replied me but still I am looking for my answer. I'll let you know if I find anything.

  • This looks like an interesting project. I sort of understand the math, but my programming skills might lack. I'm working on something else now, I might look into it after the weekend.

  • Thanks for your answers! Yeah, I've actually read the whole paper and kind of can imagine how it works, but the formulas are too cryptic for me and I don't have any idea how to implement them in code. This guy has actually sort of realized what I want to archieve, but in action script in flash: http://pixelero.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/laplacian-growth-vector-graphics/ Maybe I can get something out of the source code, but I hoped somebody knows a library for that.

    I found something in the toxiclibs docs that may be interesting, think I should take a look at it: http://toxiclibs.org/docs/core/toxi/geom/mesh/LaplacianSmooth.html
