Mountainscape

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
A simple artistic mountainscape is produced by plotting several cosine curves generated with constrained random parameters (i.e. amplitude, frequency, phase, offset). Then noise is added to the curve and smoothed out by a moving average to give the treeline a realistic profile. You can change the number of mountain ridges and the color scheme.
