Abstract

We describe a technique for continuous-line-based halftoning with space-filling curves, namely Segerman's pinwheel curve, which is based on Conway's pinwheel tiles. We adapt the length of the curve passing through the tiles in accordance with a supplied density map, e.g. a grayscale image. We use the subdivision depth of the tiling for a coarse control of the curve length, and we describe a finer control to faithfully match the density map. Our technique exhibits excellent temporal coherence, making it suitable for animated images.
