Abstract

The interactive nature of coding has led to its increasing use in the field of art, where it is used to create interactive, generative, and immersive artwork. The use of XY plotters has the potential to revolutionize the way modern art is created and distributed. XY plotters are computer-controlled drawing machines that use a pen or marker to create images or designs based on a digital input. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making it accessible to artists. By using XY plotters, the cost and time required to produce and distribute art, making it more accessible and sustainable for artists and collectors can be reduced. This study explores the use of AI, robotics, and XY plotters, in the creation of modern art, examining the benefits and challenges of this technology and considering its potential impact on the art world. The concept of stippling, which is particularly effective at clearly representing smooth, rounded objects without sharp edges are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Existing methods for improving the accuracy of digital-to-analog converters.

Abstract

The performance of digital-to-analog converters is principally limited by errors in the output voltage levels. Such errors are known as element mismatch and are quantified by the integral non-linearity. Element mismatch limits the achievable accuracy and resolution in high-precision applications as it causes gain and offset errors, as well as harmonic distortion. In this article, five existing methods for mitigating the effects of element mismatch are compared: physical level calibration, dynamic element matching, noise-shaping with digital calibration, large periodic high-frequency dithering, and large stochastic high-pass dithering. These methods are suitable for improving accuracy when using digital-to-analog converters that use multiple discrete output levels to reconstruct time-varying signals. The methods improve linearity and therefore reduce harmonic distortion and can be retrofitted to existing systems with minor hardware variations. The performance of each method is compared theoretically and confirmed by simulations and experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that three of the five methods provide significant improvements in the resolution and accuracy when applied to a general-purpose digital-to-analog converter. As such, these methods can directly improve performance in a wide range of applications including nanopositioning, metrology, and optics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. DIRECT VOLUME RENDERING: A 3D PLOTTING TECHNIQUE FOR SCIENTIFIC DATA.

Author

Callahan, Steven P., Callahan, Jason H., Scheidegger, Carlos E., and Silva, Claudio T.

Subjects
THREE-dimensional display systems, INFORMATION display systems, VOLUMETRIC analysis, PLOTTING charts, XY plotters
Abstract

The article discusses direct volume rendering (DVR). DVR is required for visualizing three-dimensional density plots. DVR is flexible in that it can provide a broad overview of data as well as focus on narrow features. The authors present a primer on DVR and demonstrate its use in the rendering of grid data.

Abstract

X-Y plotters were once a common sight in places that needed high-quality hard copies of computer-generated line drawings. Blueprints and charts of all types could be produced with multiple colors on large pieces of paper, with perfectly smooth lines and curves. But eventually pixel-based laser and inkjet printers increased sufficiently in resolution-and decreased sufficiently in price-to make plotters something of a rarity. . Still, some things were lost in this particular march of progress. One casualty was the distinctive lines of vector-based graphics and text. Another was fun: Watching a laser printer print is about as interesting as watching a refrigerator, while there's something mesmerizing in seeing the head of a plotter spring to life and construct an image line by line through confident sweeps and arcs. The US $171 iBoardbot from JJRobots is intended to bring back some of the romance of the plotter, but with a contemporary twist-it's cloud controlled and self-erasable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
