Pi walking
This visualisation of pi assigns a color to each digit and an angle. Each time a digit is encountered a rect of the color is created and the origin moves by the relevant angle a distance the height of the rect. This means we are seeing pi in a directional state.
The angle is calculated for each digit using the following python function:
def x_points(data, index):
points_dict = {0 : (0, -10), 1 : (5.88, -8.09), 2 : (9.51, -3.09),
3 : (9.51, 3.09), 4 : (5.88, 9.09), 5 : (0, 10), 6 : (-5.88, 8.09),
7 : (-9.51, 3.090), 8 : (-9.511, -3.09), 9 : (-5.88, -8.09) }
x_points = [0] for num in data[:-1]: x_points.append(x_points[-1] +
points_dict[num][index]) return x_points
From the origin (0, 0) the x,y, coordinates are summed according to the item returned and this is what gives the visual its shape.
