Abstract
Complex labyrinth curves are interactively generated by an iterative process that spatially modulates curve evolution by an image or other function defined on the evolution space. After curves and evolution parameters are initialized [], the iterative process allows the curve and evolution parameters to be interactively modified by a user [], resamples the curves [], and spatially modulates the curves according to the evolution parameters []. The evolved labyrinth curves are may be processed [] for use in various applications including animation, maze creation, intricate artistic patterns, and graphical user interfaces that map linearly ordered data to the evolved curve and allow the data to be navigated using the rendered curve. The evolved curves can also be triangulated and projected to a plane to create patterns for manufacturing developable surfaces.
