Taiji variations: Yin and Yang in multiple dimensions
Browne, Cameron B. (2007) Taiji variations: Yin and Yang in multiple dimensions. Computers & Graphics, 31(1), pp. 142-146.
This paper briefly describes the historical background and geometric construction of the Taiji diagram, commonly known as the Yin-Yang symbol. Some examples of two- and three-dimensional variations are given based on alternative construction methods, including a simplified baseball curve with shape parameterized by a single variable. This curve is used to describe the standard Taiji ball, and introduce a new style of ball more in keeping with the Taiji's original design principles.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
