US 2006/0232581 A1 · Method and computer program for constructing complex structure graphic

Abstract

A general complex structure graph constructing method and the associated computer program is described. The generators and initiators selected by the user are used as the geometrical graphing basis. Using the transformation information of the generators and the operation information between the generators and the initiators, the geometrical transformation and duplication of the objects are performed according to the definitions of duplication objects and connecting objects. This implements the geometrical graphing of complex structures. It is characterized in that: the operations are performed in a visualized way, including graphing operations (e.g., generation of objects), parameter transmissions (e.g., shifted duplications), and data generation (e.g., generation of a geometrical graph). Since the operations are simple and can be implemented on all computer executable platforms and is suitable for artistic designs, graphing, and teaching.

A general complex structure graph constructing method using a computer program running on a computer executable platform to implement the complex structure graphing in a visualized way, comprising the steps of:

selecting a plurality of geometrical objects and a base object to form a generator;
establishing a initiator with the same geometrical properties as the base object;
selecting a plurality of geometrical objects from the generator and defining them as a recurrent object group and the rest unselected ones as a duplication object group;
and
determining a shifting rule or a duplication rule, and transforming the recurrent object group and the duplication object group onto the initiator to form a transient object according to transformation information between the base object and the geometrical objects and operation information between the generator and the initiator;
wherein with the continual of duplication, selectively re-determining or re-using the generator, the recurrent object group on the transient object, and the shifting rule or the duplication, and transforming the recurrent object group and the duplication object group onto the initiator to form a new transient object according to transformation information between the base object and the geometrical objects and operation information between the generator and the initiator.
