## Visual Entropy ##

Scripts for visualizing the amount of information in files.

### sierpinski.py ###

Generates generalized Sierpinski regular n-gons using the simple process

below:

1. Inscribe a regular n-gon in the unit circle and label the vertices

   counter-clockwise 0, 1, ..., n.

2. Start at the point (0, 0)

3. Draw a dot at the current point

4. Get a random value in the interval [0, n-1].

5. Our new point is halfway to the vertex with the label corresponding

   to the above random value above.

6. Repeat 3-5

#### Usage ####

    usage: sierpinski.py [-h] [-f FILE] [-m MODE] [-n BYTES] [-s EDGES]

                         [--size PIXELS] [-d]

    

    A program for generating fractal patterns using random or non-random data.

    

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      -f FILE, --file FILE  File to use as binary input.If no file is given random

                            data will be used.

      -m MODE, --mode MODE  The mode to use. mod - The read byte value is reduced

                            modulus the number of edges stream - All bits are used

                            in a stream, meaning thatbytes may overlap. Bytes

                            outside of the interval (0, EDGES) will be skipped

                            streammod - stream and mod combined.

      -n BYTES              The number of bytes to use if no file is given.

      -s EDGES, --shape EDGES

                            The number of edges in the shape

      --size PIXELS         Size of the window in pixels

      -d, --debug           Activate debugging.
