contour maps: 4

These contour maps are simple to make - you need a function that takes two arguments (say x and y) and returns a third value (say z), which defines the location of that point on a colour map. If you get the function and the colour scheme right, you can get attractive abstract patterns.

 

The colour scheme is derived from a famous painting (can you guess) that matches the curves generated by the function (which is something like cos(x + cos(y)) * sin(y * sin(x)) = z.
