Wavy pattern

[laurent_delrieu]

Hello
that’s a quite interesting pattern, seems simple but it is not. There are 3 parts

1. The circle radius is following a gradient in X direction
2. The connecting “line” between dots is 0 at left and maximum at right and quite random in the middle
3. Connecting the circle it is not clear if it is an arc or 2 arcs and a line.

Here a little script.
First generate the grid, here with square but whatever.

The suppress some of the line depending on a value depending on X, the graph mapper helps you here.

How to generate random gradient pattern along one direction

I am trying to dispatch a list of patterns that randomly but gradient denser in one direction. was not satisfied with the gens pool. any recommendaiton? [image] how to create random gradient pattern in one direcion.gh (24.5 KB)

Place circles on the plane. I choose an equation for the radius of circle, but I must have used a Graph Mapper but it is more complex for the following stages because I will have to work with DataTree.

The more difficult part is to connect the circles.
I choose to connect them with arcs depending on a normalized value.

And I had some difficulties but this one could be useful also
