  3. Diffraction spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

    Effect of a triangular star filter. A cross screen filter, also known as a star filter, creates a star pattern using a very fine diffraction grating embedded in the filter, or sometimes by the use of prisms in the filter. The number of stars varies by the construction of the filter, as does the number of points each star has.

  4. Star polygon - Wikipedia

    Two types of star pentagons {5/2} |5/2| A regular star pentagon, {5/2}, has five vertices (its corner tips) and five intersecting edges, while a concave decagon, |5/2|, has ten edges and two sets of five vertices. The first is used in definitions of star polyhedra and star uniform tilings, while the second is sometimes used in planar tilings.

    An asterism is an observed pattern or group of stars in the sky. Asterisms can be any identified pattern or group of stars, and therefore are a more general concept than the 88 formally defined constellations. Constellations are based on asterisms, but unlike asterisms, constellations outline and today completely divide the sky and all its ...

    Fraqtive is an open source cross platform fractal generator. [33] MandelX is a free program for rendering fractal images on Windows. [34] WinCIG, Chaoscope, Tierazon, Fractal Forge and Malsys also generate fractal images.

  9. Digital pattern generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_pattern_generator

    A digital pattern generator is a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate digital electronic stimuli. Digital electronics stimuli are a specific kind of electrical waveform varying between two conventional voltages that correspond to two logic states ("low state" and "high state", "0" and "1").
