wterrain2
wterrain2 — A wave-terrain synthesis opcode using different curves
Description
A wave-terrain synthesis opcode that enhances the wterrain opcode by providing some more curves, krate table parameters and a parameter for rotating the curve.
Performance
ktabx, ktaby -- The two tables that define the terrain - they can be changed at krate.
The output is the result of traversing at frequency kcps the curve kcurve with the parameter kcurveparam (see below), scaled with krx and kry and centered at kx, ky on the terrain and rotated around the center with krot radians.
kcurve=0: ellipse as in the wterrain opcode but with a special extension. kcurveparam controls a speed change of the traversing point. The formula is:
fx(t) = kx + krx * sin( t + kcurveparam * sin(t) )
fy(t) = ky + kry * cos( t + kcurveparam * sin(t) )
kcurve=1: lemniskate - this is a simple 8. here also the kcurveparam controls a speed change of the traversing point. The formula is:
fx(t) = kx + krx * cos( t + kcurveparam * sin(t) )
fy(t) = ky + kry * sin( t + kcurveparam * sin(t) ) * cos( t + kcurveparam * sin(t) )
kcurve=2: limacon
fx(t) = kx + krx * sin(t) * (cos(t) + kcurveparam);
fy(t) = ky + kry * cos(t) * (cos(t) + kcurveparam);
kcurve=3: cornoid
fx(t) = kx + krx * sin(t) * (cos(t) + kcurveparam);
fy(t) = ky + kry * cos(t) * (cos(t) + kcurveparam);
kcurve=4: trisectrix (Ceva)
fx(t) = kx + krx * cos(t) * (1+kcurveparam*sin(2*t));
fy(t) = ky + kry * sin(t) * (1+kcurveparam*sin(2*t));
kcurve=5: scarabeus
fx(t) = kx + krx * cos(t) * (1+kcurveparam*sin(2*t));
fy(t) = ky + kry * sin(t) * (1+kcurveparam*sin(2*t));
kcurve=6: folium
fx(t) = kx + krx * cos(t) * cos(t) * (sin(t)*sin(t) - kcurveparam);
fy(t) = ky + kry * sin(t) * cos(t) * (sin(t)*sin(t) - kcurveparam);
kcurve=7: Talbot curve
fx(t) = kx + krx * cos(t) * (1 + kcurveparam * sin(t)*sin(t));
fy(t) = ky + kry * sin(t) * (1 - kcurveparam - kcurveparam*cos(t)*cos(t));
