My first blog post explaining some of the code behind my Paper Snowflake web app. In this installment, we look at how multiple canvases are used together to handle drawing and interactivity tasks.

Paper Snowflake Maker – Create, save, and share snowflakes with this HTML5 Canvas app.
Create virtual paper snowflakes with this web app built around the HTML5 canvas. Save your images to your computer, or share them on Facebook.
N-body planar choreographies: illustrating mathematics in HTML5 canvas
An application built in HTML5 and canvas is used to illustrate some intriguing mathematics.
I can see your particle remnants: misadventures in alpha blending.
Are you fading out images in the HTML5 canvas by painting a transparent black rectangle over the top? Did you test your animation in different browsers? You may be unaware that ugly gray remnants are being left behind. I discuss the problem, how to predict the color of these remnants, and some workarounds.
Textured Rectangles for Equality
Some generative images to show support for marriage equality in the United States.
Smooth HTML5 Canvas Radial Gradients with Dithering
Very smooth radial gradients in the canvas, in an easy to use JavaScript class. Subtle gradients across a wide area can be produced without noticeable banding.
Random Braids – minimalist generative art in HTML5 canvas
Minimalist generative art in the form of colorful braided strings. Inspired by mathematics and the book “10 Print.”
Smooth HTML5 Canvas Gradients with Floyd-Steinberg Dithering
Create very smooth gradients in the canvas with this easy to use JavaScript class. Subtle gradients across a wide area can be produced without noticeable banding.
Interesting textures with layered fractal gradients
Some interesting gradient textures are created with a fractal subdivision process.
Pleasantly imperfect rectangles using fractal subdivision
I extend the ideas in my post on drawing imperfect circles, now to draw imperfect rectangles. I tweak the fractal subdivision process used to determine the randomness, and create a couple more examples of simple but pleasant shapes that appear to be drawn by a human.
