Keith Vetter 2003-01-30 - this little program draws a rosette figure. I originally wrote it over 8 years ago for a graphics class. Mathematically, the challenge was to make the junction between lobes smooth (I believe it was to the 2nd derivative but can't remember exactly).

One thing I changed from the original version was the logic of when to draw the figure. 8 years ago computers were a bit slower and drawing a rosette figure took a few seconds. Now on my machine it's almost instantaneous. So I removed a "redraw" button and just redraw the figure whenever any of the parameters change.

KPV I tried out this program today and noticed the color toolbar was wonky--a radiobutton with -width 1 gets drawn truncated on my mac. While fixing that, I also tweaked it that it colors the interior of the figure.

Here is a picture showing what the following code creates. You can click in the trough on either side of a slider-button in any of the several scale widgets --- and hold the mouse button down. The scale will auto-advance a scale-resolution-unit at a time --- and the entire image updates immediately, repeatedly --- even on my little 'weak' netbook computer.

# Tkrose.tcl -- draws a rosette with various number of lobes.
# Each lobe has 2nd derivative smoothness with the next lobe.
# Keith Vetter
#
# KPV Oct 14, 1994 - original version for class UCB CS285
# KPV Jan 29, 2003 - cleaned up, rewrote display logic for faster machines
# KPV Aug 31, 2018 - fixed color toolbar, made color just for interior
