hexagram chart. The hexagrams are in the Fu Xi sequence, which is a
direct binary translation of broken lines (0) and solid lines (1)
with bits ordered from the outside in (despite the fact that
hexagram lines are normally ordered from the bottom up).</p>
<p>The chart itself is a mere trifle. What interested me was just
how easy this was to make in NodeBox - only twelve nodes in the
root network with a total of four simple subnetworks. I am
attaching a color coded screenshot showing all the subnetworks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Parchment (yellow) creates a simple parchment background with
faint wavy lines</li>
<li>Hexagram (violet) turns a number from 0 to 63 into the
appropriate hexagram. It has 2 subnetworks of its own:</li>
<li>Bars (orange) produces, for a given width, a solid line and a
grouped broken line with pleasing proportions</li>
<li>Hex (green) does a decimal to hex conversion, producing a list
of 6 true/false values</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope this might serve as a simple example for beginning
NodeBoxers or as a starting point for anyone wanting to build more
elaborate I Ching diagrams.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

schematic screenshot as well. The node coloring + network break out
shots are interesting to have in NodeBox as well...</p></div>Frederik De Bleser
