Pat and Graphics

Graphics seems to be an area where my background in math and computers tie together very nicely. I have been know to calculate graphics commands. I have done some programming in PostScript although a lot of it has been translating earlier programs to generate a PostScript file rather than directly programming in PostScript. Probably the most notable exception is the most recent version of my program for baseball score sheets. I think I have made modifications every time I have printed it out and it is certainly a lot simplier than going through an intermediate program. In the past I have written programs to generate various graphics files such as WordPerfect graphics (far enough in the past that they probably don't work with the version of WordPerfect) and HP PLC for such things as a chair creature for my husband, and various figures for statistics.

Fractals are an area that I have played with a little and would like to do some more with. The problem with all of these visual things is when I get started I have so many things to look at that I reach sensory overload before I really want to stop.

My interest in photography also fits in with my computer interests and specifically graphics. I have only started to play with scanned images but I could certainly spend an infinite amount of time there if I am not careful.
