Algorithm

Algorithm

·      First find the center of the paper by bisecting both the length and width side of the paper. This should let you find the half waypoint on both sides. Draw two straight lines where these to half waypoints are (from one side to the other side of the page). Where the two lines meet should be the exact center of the paper.

·      Use a compass to draw a circle in the center point that was found. The circle radius should be 40mm.

·      There will be four points touching the circumference of the circle from the to straight lines that were drawn. Draw a circle on each of these points. These circles also have a radius of 40mm. Four circles will be draw be drawn in total excluding the center circle.

·       Now there are many points that touch the circumference of the center circle from the circles that were just drawn around it. There are 8 new points on the circle. Draw a 40mm radius circle for every point that crosses the path of the center circle.

Repetition

·      Choose one of the straight lines that were drawn first (horizontal or vertical).  From the center point measure 160mm (left or right) along the line that was chosen and make a point. This is the point where the algorithm is repeated. Do this on every point (horizontal and vertical with left and right)

·      There will be four new circle structures surrounding the existing one. Apply the first step to the new circle structures that have been made.

·      Repeat this with each structure made and the pattern will be created.
