DEVELOPED BY

ABOUT [SPIRO]rat is a free plugin for Grasshopper (plugin for McNeel Rhinoceros3D) developed by rat[LAB] EDUCATION in INDIA. It generates Epitrochoids and Hypotrochoids by representing the motion of pen in a classic spirograph. An infinite number of patterns can be generated through this plugin using Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D which can be translated into spatial formations. rat[LAB] EDUCATION is an initiative by rat[LAB] to start a new discourse in architecture & parallel design disciplines with the use of ‘computational design’ & it’s various subsets.

Spread across various cities / countries, we are establishing a global dialogue in the domain of computational design by actively organizing and participating in workshops, lectures, presentations & symposiums.

While rat[LAB] has taken a top-down approach of exploring computational design through industry collaborations, a parallel, bottom-up approach is also in place to involve students of all levels, from design & related backgrounds. rat[LAB]’s educational mission has led to formations of national and international workshops, programmes, discourses and collaborations which has now opened up new avenues of academic exchange. rat[LAB] has started Design Technology Tools section on their platform where new developments, tool-kits, workflows and associations will be showcased. [SPIRO]rat is now available at: www.rat-lab.org/designtechtools More information about rat[LAB]EDU: www.rat-lab.org/education rat[LAB] - Research in Architecture & Technology, is an independent research organization and network of designers & researchers specializing in computational design or similar technology-related domains.

1.The Spirograph - History and Introduction The spirograph is a classic tool that consists of a ring and a wheel. The wheel in placed inside the ring. After the pen is placed inside one of the holes present on the wheel, it is made to rotate with the help of the ‘teeth’ present on the edges of the ring and a wheel – much like a gear. The wheel rotates on its own axis while revolving around the center of the ring. This motion generates radially symmetric patterns. One can create different patterns with different sizes of ring and wheels.

One of the earliest spirographs was constructed between 1845 and 1848 by P.H. Desvignes, who worked in Vienna, for preventing forgeries in bank notes [i]. The mathematician Bruno Abakanowicz invented the spirograph between 1881 and 1900 to calculate the area closed by a curve [ii]. One of the first spirographs to be advertised as a toy, ‘Marvelous Wondergraph’ [iii] came out in 1900s. A book called ‘The Boy Mechanic – A wondergraph’ was also launched which contained instructions. It was further developed by A British engineer Denys Fisher who exhibited the Spirograph in 1965 at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair and produced it in Britain [iv]. In 2013 the Spirograph brand was re-launched worldwide by Kahootz Toys with products that returned to the use of the original gears and wheels [v] .

2. Mathematical Relations

A B

The spirographs form mathematical curves that are knows as Epitrochoids and Hypotrochoids[1].

1. Consider a circle A and B of radius RA and Rb and center CA and Cb respectively.

2. Consider a point P at a distance d from the Cb. One must note that the point could lie anywhere on the on a circle of radius d with Cb as the center. Any point on this circle would generate the same pattern.

3. The circle B rolls along the circle A, that is - P rotates around Cb while revolving around CA. 4. Tracing the path of point P during this motion gives us a hypotrochoid curve. The patterns generated are always radially symmetric.

5. Alternately, the circle B can roll on the outside of the circle A forming an epitrochoid curve.

6. The pattern formed depends on the number of times the circle rotates with respect to the number of times it revolves.

7. In the spirograph tool, this is controlled by the ‘teeth’ present of the edge of the inner wheel and outer ring.

These interlock like in gears. They are available in sizes that correspond to the number of teeth present on them. Hence this number is always a positive integer.

8. For a ring size SA and wheel size Sb – the number of sides s, in the curve or the number of radial axes is determined by s = [ LCM[2] (SA, Sb) / Sb ] 9. The number of revolutions, r1, is determined by r1= [ LCM (SA, Sb) / SA ] 10. The number of rotations, r2 ,is determined by r2 = [ LCM (SA, Sb) /Sb ] - [ LCM (SA, SB) / SA ]

3. [SPIRO]rat as a learning tool With computation and parametric design becoming an important part of the design industry, it is important for students to understand the design processes and workflows associated with it.

Beginners and amateurs are often misguided with a large volume of visual information available on the web and limited technical information for understanding. In such cases, designs tend to be driven by ‘what the tool can do’ rather than using the tool to aid the design process.

Much like other design processes – a computational design process must start in the same way - an idea, concept or thought. Computation aids this beginning in visualization, generating iterations, handling complexities, documentation and manufacturing. The computer is only a tool that helps realize the design. The larger aim of creating a Grasshopper3D Plug-in is to create an academic and knowledge-sharing exchange that can take place to create awareness and spread technical knowledge. Many designers still lack the relationship between mathematics and geometry which restricts them in their creative outputs and thought process. By exploring a simple tool such as spirograph, many of these aspects can be understood but it lacks a technical guidance. [SPIRO]rat, as a tool, along with the example files and elaborate documentation, serves as the first step to spread technical knowledge of understanding one of many aspects that define the relationship between mathematics and geometry.

[SPIRO]rat plugin reflects and encourages this workflow of computational design processes.

It takes the idea of a classic tool and digitalizes it for better understanding and control of the outcome.

The tool not only gives patterns as outputs but also possibilities of parameters to get desired patterns and data corresponding to generated pattern. This helps understand the mathematical relationship between parameters.

Once the basic relationships are understood one can explore with customized patterns and shapes. The workflow strongly encourages more control over the generated design.

Spirograph Parameter Accessed from under the ‘Params’ tab in the ‘Primitive’ section, a Spirograph Parameter can contain the Spirograph Datatype. Users may store multiple spirograph setups in a parameter and may also internalize data.

This parameter is useful when handling multiple spirograph setups and managing data. Right-click on an empty Spirograph parameter and select “Set One Spirograph” to set a single setup using the dialog prompt shown below.

The ‘Set one Spirograph’ Dialog box shown above can be used to setup a basic spirograph. It allows the user to choose one of the three world planes, a ring size, wheel size, hole parameter and choose whether the wheel is to be place inside or outside the ring. The user may also edit the values of any internalized data using this dialog, if the internalized data contains a single valid spirograph on one of the three world planes.

Information The Information Component displays information about the [SPIRO]rat plugin. It has no function and cannot store/modify any data. You may place this component in your scripts while sharing to give credits to the creators of [SPIRO]rat.

Ring / Wheel Size In traditional spirographs, the wheel or ring number is determined by the number of teeth along the circumference. Since teeth are not required to make a digital spirograph function, the Wheel or Ring Size directly controls the radius. This gives results similar to traditional spirographs due to the fact that the number of teeth is directly proportional to the circumference, which is in turn directly proportional to the radius.

Hole Parameter

1 1

0

0

Hole number ‘8’ of Wheel ‘50’ is at ~0.47 between the center of the wheel and the edge.

When used with Ring ‘105’, the pattern above is produced.

Hole Parameter 0.47, Wheel size 50 and Ring size 105 produces the same pattern digitally.

The Hole Parameter controls the position of the hole in the wheel that draws the pattern. In traditional spirographs, each hole is placed at an increasing distance from the center of the wheel as the hole number increases. To simplify this mechanism in digital spirographs, the Hole Parameter simply defines a point at a position between the center of the wheel and it’s edge, where the center = 0 and the edge = 1.

Last Step

Last Step = 0.000

Last Step = 0.200

Last Step = 0.400

Last Step = 0.600

Last Step = 0.800

Last Step = 1.000

12

The Last Step defines the current position in the drawing procedure time-line from 0 to 1. The user may scrub the Last Step slider to preview how the pattern is drawn. The slider my also be animated to produce frames of making the pattern.

All ‘Draw’ Components use a ‘Resolution’. as explained previously, this controls the number of points plotted to make the spirograph pattern. This in turn also determines the maximum decimal places that can be used for the Last Step parameter. For example, if the Resolution is 4, the maximum decimal places in the Last Step will be 4. At Last Step = 0.4282, all points up to the 4,282nd point (out of 10,000 points) will be plotted to generate the pattern.

Shown here is a series of 6 steps from 0 to 1.

3D Spirograph As mentioned previously, the 3D Spirograph component functions based on a mathematical function given as follows: x

This equation is used to plot polar points which are then interpolated to generate a curve. The component allows you to control the values of ‘n’, ‘d’ and ‘x’ in this equation. The ratio ’n/d‘ defines the overall form of the output curve. This ratio is directly controlled by the ‘N’ and ‘D’ parameters. Basic trigonometric logic can be used for a rough idea of the output form.‘X’ parameter defines the upper limit of ‘x’ in the equation. Resolution in turn controls the number of values to be used for ‘x’ in the equation. Higher resolution implies more number of points and a more accurate curve.For each step in ‘x’, the component plots a polar point with the XY rotation defined by the current value of ‘x’, the Z rotation defined by ‘Z’ parameter and the offset defined by the value of ‘y’ above for ‘x’.

All the points plotted are then used to make a curve which is given as output. Shown below is an example output from the 3D Spirograph Component.

13

FAQs and Common Issues • High resolution values cause the script to become very slow or crash - Keep the Resolution at 3 or 4. Resolution is ‘x’ where the number of points plotted using the spirograph setup is 10x. For example, if the resolution is set to 4, exactly 1,000 points will be plotted using the spirograph and a curve will be interpolated using these points to get the pattern curve.

Resolution = 3

Resolution = 4

• Build Panels and Build Strips components take too long to compute or don’t compute - Both these components perform time-taking and complex tasks using the curve generated from the Draw component.

For best results, ensure the number of sides of the spirograph pattern is not more than 20. Simpler patterns will compute quicker. Also ensure you are not using a large list or tree of spirograph curves. Toggle the Run Boolean parameter only after ensuring these conditions. These components may return unexpected results in rare conditions which can be fixed by adjusting the input parameters slightly.

• ‘Get Possibilities..’ components don’t work in some cases - These components work using a generative database of ring and wheel combinations for various number of sides. In case these components are showing an error, it is because the combination of input parameters does not match any entry in the database. In most reasonable cases, scrubbing one of the input sliders should help finding other possibilities. The reason behind this issue is that the spirograph logically depends on the LCM/GCD function which makes reverse calculations extremely complicated.

• Size of the spirograph pattern changes drastically when using Get Ring/Wheel Size components As mentioned above, the functioning of these components is limited. When a parameter is changed, the components randomly select an entry from the database, which may often be a multiple of another entry of a smaller/larger size.

• The pattern generated is too small / Decimal values aren’t working - [SPIRO]rat works best with units set to Millimeters and does not accept non-integer values for the ring and wheel sizes. The reason for this, once more, is the core mathematics behind spirographs which is based on the LCM/GCD function. Since decimal values cannot have a GCD, only integer values can be used. Scaling the pattern after generation may help solve any issues related to this. You may also use multiples of the input values to generate scaled up patterns.

• Unable to use 3D Spirograph with any other components to produce sensible geometry - The 3D Spirograph component generates pure mathematical geometry (Please refer to it’s description to know more). It is an experimental component with the purpose of only demonstrating possibilities of mathematics in geometry and design. If you wish to use 3D spirographs for designing, this component may not be very useful.

• Build Strips and Color Code components aren’t present in my grasshopper ribbon - Both these components were built for Rhinoceros versions above 6.10, due to changes in the SDK. Please update your Rhinoceros to use them.
