Math-Image displays some mathematical images using Gtk2-Perl, or writing to a PNG file or the root window. Read more in the online man page (24k, html).
Math-Image shows various paths (see Math-PlanePath) and various sets of numbers (Math-NumSeq, plus some experimental extras). It's a touch rough, and not blindingly fast, but a fun way to have prime numbers as your root window background, or browse some sprial patterns.
Math-Image is free software (free as in freedom), published under the terms of the GNU General Public License (v3 or higher).
Download version 109 source here or
from CPAN, or a Debian
package here or from my repo. There's fairly big
set of Perl module dependencies, set out in the Makefile.PL in
the usual way. Perl 5.8.0 or higher is required (some of the non-Gtk parts
might work with less).
math-image-109.tar.gz(258k, and sig)
math-image_109-0.1_all.deb(238k, and sig)
The sig files are Gnu PG ascii armoured
signatures generated from my key. There's a
SIGNATURE file inside the .tar.gz for
cpansign
too.
The path code is in
Math-PlanePath, and
see the gallery there for some
line samples.
