What? No computer graphics fans, math-heads, or script-kiddies hang out in this forum?

Check out the rippleweave script in the previous post in this thread. If you do *any* scripting, you might learn something from the script source code. And feel free to modify it to plot other math functions. Please post screenshots here.

Thanks.

EDIT: If you examine my source code, you will see that I like to write solid condensed code, which fits nicely on 80x25 text displays without requiring a lot of vertical scrolling. I do this to support my "keyboard-only" coding-trance sessions, which are severely hampered by hand-eye coordination required by mouse and GUI menus. When I modify other peoples' code, I try to make my changes transparently blend into their code. Please keep modifications to my code that you post here in my condensed style so that I can reuse it. If you prefer finger-length variable names or fluffy "popcorn" code littered with whitespace (e.g. lab126 scripts), please post that to your own threads. Thanks.

EDIT 2: And remember, what is important here is the fact that we can do cool stuff with our kindles now that we have SSH access to them. And these scripts require very little support from external programs (but this one cheats and uses "seq" here when it could use shell arithmetic loop control like spoxbrane did). These graphical scripts even work from a RUNME.sh script called from my data.tar.gz payload, used for debricking kindles. I plan to use the kindle framebuffer graphics script library I am developing for use in my "universal kindle debricking system", but they have far more uses than just that. This is *why* I am delving into eink algorithmic art (to test my functions, and to gain "followers" to my line of thought).
