Hello Arachne readers, Thank you for your interest in my research and experiments. Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Feel free to post them here, email me directly or participate in the discussion on the laceioli site.
This paper is part of my PhD thesis research in Computer Science. The co-author, Frank Ruskey, is my supervisor and an excellent guide in helping me convert the ideas I have about lace into mathematical descriptions. Many thanks to Jo Pol for including my Inkscape tools on her DiBL website and also for extending and improving those tools. My computer algorithm has produced millions of lace ground patterns â too many to work on in my life time. As a result, I am currently using symmetry to filter out those ground patterns which might have more aesthetic appeal. Here is a link to one of the grounds I have generated using mirror reflection symmetry: https://www.flickr.com/photos/veronika_irvine/16263820450/in/set-721576493791 76771/ I have worked the ground with two different stitches: the top in whole stitch and the bottom in cloth stitch. I have not personally seen this ground before but I am not sure if it is ânewâ. It looks a bit like the diagonal window grounds found on pages 167 â 172 of Grunde mit System by Uta Ulrich. Have you seen it before? Many thanks, Veronika Irvine http://web.uvic.ca/~vmi/ -----Original Message----- From: jo Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 12:13 PM To: 'Arachne' Subject: [lace] RE: Mathematics and lace Hello spiders > Actually Veronika Irvine, one of the authors of this paper I'd guess she is not just one of the authors but the major author, the other author one is "just" her supervisor. > Veronika also has a computer code based on her work (DiBL - Diagrams for > Bobbin Lace), see https://github.com/jo-pol/DiBL/wiki I can't help but defending myself as the mayor author of the DiBL project. Veronika's output was my input. She's the giant, I stand on her shoulders. Her InkScape extension were first published (and still are) on her own website http://web.uvic.ca/~vmi/ and later bundled together with extensions by me at DiBL. One of my extensions is a simplified version of an eight year old (way too complicated) polar grid generator.
