Abstract
This paper describes some of the principles of traditional floral ornamental design, and ex- plores ways in which these designs can be created algorithmically. It introduces the idea of "adaptive clip art," which encapsulates the rules for creating a specific ornamental pattern. Adaptive clip art can be used to generate pat- terns that are tailored to fit a particularly shaped region of the plane. If the region is resized or re- shaped, the ornament can be automatically re- generated to fill this new area in an appropriate way. Our ornamental patterns are created in two steps: first, the geometry of the pattern is gen- erated as a set of two-dimensional curves and filled boundaries; second, this geometry is ren- dered in any number of styles. We demonstrate our approach with a variety of floral ornamental designs.
