The egg shape formula comes from this:
Quote
Don M. Jacobs, M.D., from Daly City, USA developped a nice egg shape by changing the circle equation x²+y²=1 a little: x² + [1.4^x*1.6y]² = 1. The egg equation is an exponential equation of the type t3.
At LB tsh has nice shape derived from circles, see LB https://libertybasiccom.proboards.com/thread/1954/easter-eggs-anybody
or
JB (towards middle end)
https://justbasiccom.proboards.com/thread/789/graphics-fun?page=2
Pi = _PI genius LOL! Just making it easier to translate JB code to QB64, only one change with Const instead of changing all Pi's to _Pi in code. Genius is pure laziness.
This:
Code: QB64: [Select]
So imagine a little drawing of an egg pointed east from scale. Imagine taking each point around the center, measuring the angle to the center a = _Atan2(y, x)
d = distance x, y to center of plot with (0,0) as origin x -1 to 1, y -1 to 1
So we rotate and scale our image in a little Rotozoom example one pixel at a time.
What's Polar Coordinates about that?
Anyway, that's why it's not just:
Code: QB64: [Select]
In fact in 2nd code I found it better to use a Line with a -Step(sq, sq), , BF
and draw a colored square instead of a pixel.
PS the first post without using the last parameter to angle the eggs was mostly to show Aurel at his forum that the eggs (the coloring bands) had to be symmetric. I wasn't even going to post Easter eggs here but Ken seemed to be getting lonely doing a monolog on Neon Clocks ;-))

I figure a SIN wave stretched on one end could produce an egg-like shape. The trick is to figure out the best formula to stretch it properly to make a pretty little "egg" like oval. ;)

I was curious if any of those curves have a mathematical biology argument because otherwise there has to be near infinite types of curves that could fit an egg shape. The easiest is take a photo and fit a polynomial spline. I found this article for, allegedly, the true egg formula: https://www.kent.ac.uk/news/science/29620/research-finally-reveals-ancient-universal-equation-for-the-shape-of-an-egg (https://www.kent.ac.uk/news/science/29620/research-finally-reveals-ancient-universal-equation-for-the-shape-of-an-egg)
Post by: _vince on March 31, 2022, 02:52:21 am
It seems what they did do is take some basic geometric shapes (ovoid) that can approximate most eggs experimentally based on a few measurements then generalize to other basic geometric shapes like pyriform to boost your benchmark. Like if you have a curve that is 99% accurate on a scan or photograph for 99% of all the eggs produced by 99% of all bird species on the planet and it only requires measuring egg height and max diameter (and maybe a couple of more) than it must be pretty damn good and close to true egg geometry? So far, the universal egg equation is allegedly:
just FYI, the above is just a curve y=f(x) with a bunch of parameters. the +- in front implies symmetry over the x-axis. A circle of radius R would be y = +-SQR(R^2 - x^2). So you'd grab an egg from the fridge, measure L,w,B,D with a tape measure or scale or whatever (I have no idea what those parameters are), plug them in and plot y with respect to x and you should have a curve that is some 99% perfect to the egg you have. Then, presumably, the actual egg is a surface of revolution of this curve.

Here's a more detailed description of the parameters: https://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.14771 (https://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.14771)
The chicken eggs are not pointy but eggs of other bird species are, ie the "pyriform" shape https://bioone.org/journals/the-auk/volume-135/issue-4/AUK-18-38.1/The-pyriform-egg-of-the-Common-Murre-Uria-aalge-is/10.1642/AUK-18-38.1.full (https://bioone.org/journals/the-auk/volume-135/issue-4/AUK-18-38.1/The-pyriform-egg-of-the-Common-Murre-Uria-aalge-is/10.1642/AUK-18-38.1.full)
That curve equation is supposed to be universal to all eggs. From what I gather, you can set p(x) = x for a "good enough" approximation but there are several more complicated variants of p(x) that take into account more species of birds, ie that "pyriform" one

That's a pic of a quail egg, I think.
Truth is, most "natural" chicken eggs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes from my experience. Some are extra long (usually with double yokes inside), while some are almost golf ball round. When we raised chickens, we raised Bantam chickens, and we got everything from red to white to blue to green eggs -- and all from the same crazy ass chicken!
I'd say, "If it's close, it's close enough -- pointed or not!" All the eggs you buy in the store are "Grade A" eggs, which is why they all look so uniform. Look at the pictures of lower grade eggs some time. I wouldn't be too surprised to find a dang pyramid or cube in some of them! 😂
I'll just stick to my simple little SIN stretching... Or elsejust use an actual picture of an egg and then colorit! LOL!

Using this method, I could also, conceivably, take egg-shaped portions of screens from a movie and then put them onto the display, only showing the "egg portion" out of the movie screen. Or I could take egg-shaped images from moving flames or raindrops falling, and then display them to the screen, as I'm not so much coloring an egg, as just taking the egg-shape color information from a different image.
Movie Easter Eggs -- how great is that concept?!!

This is basically just an example of what I was talking of above, about being able to place a flame, movie, or rain upon my egg. I thought Ken might like it, and it might give him a few ideas for more neat little mods he can do with it. ;)

That's neat Steve but there's no egg anywhere on the screen. The Matrix letters just fall everywhere.
Vince that's really cool! I started to attempt something like that yesterday but I think I had a problem with the square root of a negative number and I just wasn't figuring out the math good enough.
DBox, I get an Illegal String Conversion error on Line 42.Code: QB64: [Select]
Hey @SierraKen, is there more to that program? I don't see any errors when I run just that line in a new QBJS window.

Oh, I see. Yes, I'm afraid that example won't run in QB64 since it uses web controls.

That's neat Steve but there's no egg anywhere on the screen. The Matrix letters just fall everywhere.
They're not falling inside the egg for you? Shouldn't you be seeing something like this:
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Here, I've painted the egg itself BLACK, so that the green matrix letters show up better on it and are easier to see as they move and rain down across the surface of the egg. Are you not getting this effect somehow?
Post by: SierraKen on April 01, 2022, 01:25:26 pm
B+, I had a feeling you were going to go wild on us.. LOLOL, awesome.
Steve, no it doesn't show the egg, I have the .png in the same folder too. But that looks awesome!

[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Does this make it a little more obvious that the letters are raining down across the eggshell? Or should I just toss the matrix rain idea and see if something like flickering flames might look better for an animated egg paint?
Post by: SMcNeill on April 01, 2022, 01:29:10 pm
Steve, no it doesn't show the egg, I have the .png in the same folder too. But that looks awesome!
Windows machine? Let's rule out something simple like a upper/lowercase situation with Linux filenames and such to begin with. I'm curious why the heck you're not seeing the same effect that I am with the code. Latest version of QB64 too, I take it?
Umm...
(Starts digging into the code to see where the heck the overlays might be messing up on different systems...)
Post by: SierraKen on April 01, 2022, 01:29:24 pm
LOL DOH.
I'll try your other one now.
Post by: SMcNeill on April 01, 2022, 01:34:15 pm
Steve I found the problem, I accidentally didn't copy/paste the first line WorkScreen = _NewImage(800, 800, 32)
LOL DOH.
I'll try your other one now.
LOL! Had me all worried that there was something majorly off in the code. Unfortunately, I'm now going to have to add your name to my EVIL CODER list, right below Pete's entry! I was trying to sip on my coffee when I read your response, and you made me chuckle so badly that I snorted hot coffee out my nose!
If *that* doesn't qualify someone to be listed as an EVIL CODER, then I don't know what does! :P

Your other one is awesome! I might have to use your Matrix code on stuff sometimes.

So instead of a pixel it is a box fill a bit larger than a pixel. But some of those dot patterns are kinda cool.

Both @CharlieJV and @dbox if you want to be rid of those dots try changing this:Code: QB64: [Select]
toCode: QB64: [Select]
So instead of a pixel it is a box fill a bit larger than a pixel. But some of those dot patterns are kinda cool.
It is pretty neat how much of a difference it makes. I like both equally for different reasons. The smooth eggs are really nice, the other ones look textured, which is pretty cool.
