Clyune Component GalleryDye Diffusion · How it works & code
Two "Chemicals" A and B spread and react in cells (A + 2B → 3B), A is constantly being added and B is being removed.
Runtime logic
Visiting `/generative/diffuse`, DemoHost lazy-loads `demos/kits/kit-generative.js` (registry `mod: 'kit-generative'`) and calls `mount(host, { variant: 'diffuse' })`. mount resolves the variant to family `diffuse`; `withControls` builds the control panel (6 presets + sliders). `createCanvasStage` creates the `<canvas>` (HiDPI ≤ 2×, ResizeObserver) and the info panel. The family’s `build(S)` initialises state and returns the per-frame callback. Every `requestAnimationFrame`: read controls, advance a speed-scaled clock (dt ≤ 50 ms), run the frame callback; returned readouts go to the info panel. Changing parameters: colour/speed/size apply live; structural ones remount; leaving the page cancels rAF, removes listeners and frees resources.
Environment
Canvas 2D: 2D canvas drawing; requestAnimationFrame: Display-synced animation loop; ResizeObserver: Canvas follows container size; Pointer Events: Unified mouse/touch/pen events; devicePixelRatio: Crisp HiDPI rendering (capped at 2×) · react 18.3.1, react-router-dom 6.30.6, vite 5.4.21
Dependencies
react 18.3.1
Imported APIs
withControls — Wraps the demo in the shared control panel (presets, sliders, reset); hot-updates or remounts on change; paramsFromSpec — Turns the spec (colour/speed/size/count/extras) into control-panel parameter definitions; createCanvasStage — Shared Canvas 2D stage: canvas + info panel, HiDPI, one rAF loop, pointer state, idle auto-pointer; hueOf — Hue of a colour (0–360°); clamp — Clamps a value to a range; TAU — Constant 2π; fmt — Number formatting (fixed decimals); F — Formula block HTML; S.clear — Clears with the background colour (translucent = trails); S.onFrame — Registers a per-frame callback; its return value feeds the info panel; ctx.beginPath() — Starts a new path; ctx.moveTo() — Moves the pen without drawing; ctx.arcTo() — Adds an arc using tangent lines; ctx.closePath() — Closes the current sub-path; ctx.fill() — Fills the current path; ctx.stroke() — Strokes the current path; ctx.fillRect() — Fills a rectangle; ctx.arc() — Adds a circular arc (center, radius, start/end angle); ctx.drawImage() — Draws an image or offscreen canvas; ctx.save() — Saves the drawing state (transform, styles, clip); ctx.rect() — Adds a rectangle to the path; ctx.clip() — Turns the current path into the clipping region; ctx.restore() — Restores the saved drawing state
Source code
frontend/src/demos/kits/kit-generative.js: FAM.diffuse (L336-L359)
Code walkthrough
L336-359: Calls the factory `gFam()` to produce the full definition (spec + doc + build) from the options below. L336-336: Title shown in the info and control panels: “Reaction–Diffusion”. L336-336: Range/default of the size slider: Pixel block. L336-336: Range/default of the count slider: Iterations per Frame. L337-337: Extra demo-specific slider/toggle: Gradient bands. L337-337: Default main colour. L337-337: Help text of the size parameter. L337-337: Help text of the count parameter. L337-337: Help text of the extra parameter. L337-337: Preset buttons: name → parameter overrides (5). L338-338: Body of the “Notes” section. L338-338: Main formula of the “Formula” section. L338-338: Second formula line. L339-359: Per-frame draw function: math via `Math.ceil`, `Math.floor`, `Math.random`, `Math.max`, `Math.sin`, `Math.cos` …; returns readouts `mode`, `cell` to the info panel.
Principles
∂A/∂t = Dₐ∇²A − AB² + f(1 − A) ∂B/∂t = D_b∇²B + AB² − (k + f)B Gray-Scott Reaction spread: two "chemicals" A 和 B Spread and react in the cells A + 2B → 3B），A They are constantly being supplemented B It's always been removed. Supplementary speed from left to right f 逐渐变大，于是会长出斑点、条纹、迷宫等不同图案。指针会滴入 B。 Generative Art = a simple mathematical rule + Random number/噪声，让电脑自己「画」出图案；改变参数就是改变规则。
