I recently needed to download Ecological Site Descriptions (ESD) for a large part of the area I work in. The NRCS, Jornada Experimental Range and New Mexico State University have a handy website, EDIT that they provide all ESDs by Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA), wrapped in a nice user interface. In the past I've just used the site to view and download the ESDs as I needed them. But today I noticed that the EDIT website added a Developer Resources section page. It even has examples in R. I figured it was time to get to know the EDIT API.

A colorful vector flow field from the edges. Got the idea and a lot of the how to from Roni Kaufman.

Played around with 3D perlin noise flow field the other day. I basically just went through the tutorial on the Coding Train's YouTube channel to get started. Looks pretty cool. This one stops at 60 seconds.

As with my first post, here we are attempting to implement circle packing. This time I wanted to animate circle growth and then stop circle growth before the circles overlapped. I unabashedly stole most of this from Daniel Shiffman, but I wanted to use classes instead of just a circle object as he does in his example.

More circles, or rather half circles, and 2d perlin noise and hsl to make it look old.

Over the holiday break I worked on three things: eating, sleeping, and coding. For the coding part I accomplished two things. I this website to eleventy js and redesigned it (lightly!) and started playing around with p5js again. This post the first of a few about making art and getting better at javascript with p5js and the Coding train. I'll write up a post about porting over the eleventy....maybe.
