USAGE: recursion [-d dist] [-z zoom ] [-a angle] [- r rot] [-i iter] infile outfile
USAGE: recursion [-h or -help]

-d ..... dist ..... distance to shift on each iteration;
................... float>=0; default=10
-z ..... zoom ..... zoom factor for each iteration;
................... 0<float<=1; default=.8
-a ..... angle .... angular direction to shift on each iteration;
................... -180<=float<180 degree; default=0
-r ..... rot ...... amount of rotation of image on each iteration;
................... -180<=float<180 degrees; default=0
-i ..... iter ..... number of iterations; integer>0; default=8

PURPOSE: To create a recursive affine composite effect in an image.

DESCRIPTION: RECURSION create a recursive affine composite effect in an image. The image is scaled, rotated and shifted by the specified amount on each iteration and then composited over the previous result.

ARGUMENTS:

-d dist ... DIST is distance to shift the image on each iterations. Values are floats >= 0. Typical values are between 10 and 20. The default=10.

-z zoom ... ZOOM is scale factor to apply to the image on each iteration. Values are 0

-a angle ... ANGLE is the direction angle to shift the image on each iteration. It is specified as a counterclockwise rotation -180<=float<=180 degrees. Typical values are between 0 and 90. The default is 0 (along the positive x direction).

-r rot ... ROT is the amount to rotate the image on each iteration. It is specified as a clockwise rotation -180<=float<=180 degrees. Typical values are betwen 0 and 30. The default is 0.

-i iter ... ITER is the number of iterations in the recursion. Typical values are between 5 and 20. Values are integers>0.

CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk.

What the script does is as follows:

  • Recursively scales, rotates and rranslates the image
  • Then composites it over the previous result

This is equivalent to the following IM commands

  • xc=`convert $infile -format "%[fx:w/2]" info:`
  • yc=`convert $infile -format "%[fx:h/2]" info:`
  • xo=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$xc+$dist*cos($angle*pi/180)]" info:`
  • yo=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$yc-$dist*sin($angle*pi/180)]" info:`
  • convert $infile $tmpA
  • convert $tmpA $tmpC
  • i=1
  • while [ $i -le $iter ]; do
  • convert $tmpC -channel RGBA -matte -virtual-pixel transparent \
    -distort SRT "$xc,$yc $zoom $rot $xo,$yo" $tmpC
  • convert $tmpA $tmpC -composite $tmpA
  • i=`expr $i + 1`
  • done
  • convert $tmpA $outfile
