Pattern Generator with Fourier Transforms

Two-dimensional Fourier transforms make it possible to describe pictures with local frequencies. The results of transformations can be used for the study of landscapes. Here, the method is used as a pattern generator. If the basis pictures are simple and symmetric then they have strange ornamental properties.

This is the second of three contributions to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project based on a collaboration with my friend Horst Helbig who died in autumn 2007. See also the Demonstration "Visualization Tools for the Design of Digits".
