Logo idea

[cvigilv]

I think it's time for this, I would try to start wrapping up some minor stuff so people can start tinkering with the package. I came up with this playing around today:

Square style

Circular style

I implemented this in a Pluto notebook, but this is the code:

using CairoMakie
using Colors
using Random

logocolors = Colors.JULIA_LOGO_COLORS |> values |> collect

# Square style
f = Figure()
ax = Axis(f[1,1], aspect = 1)
H = rand(20, 20) .> 0.4
	
x = H |> CartesianIndices |> vec |> collect |> i -> map(x -> (x[1]), i)
y = H |> CartesianIndices |> vec |> collect |> i -> map(x -> (x[2]), i)
z = H |> vec

scatter!(
	ax,
	x[z .== true],
	y[z .== true], 
	color = rand(1:4, sum(z)); 
	colormap = logocolors,
	markersize = 20
)

hidedecorations!(ax)
hidespines!(ax)
f

# Circular style
f = Figure()
ax = Axis(f[1,1], aspect = 1)

H = rand(20, 20) .> 0.4

center = (size(H, 1) + 1) / 2, (size(H, 2) + 1) / 2
radius = min(size(H)...) / 2

indices = CartesianIndices(H)
circular_mask = [sqrt((i[1] - center[1])^2 + (i[2] - center[2])^2) <= radius 
                     for i in indices]

H_circular = H .& circular_mask
    
x = H_circular |> CartesianIndices |> vec |> collect |> i -> map(x -> (x[1]), i)
y = H_circular |> CartesianIndices |> vec |> collect |> i -> map(x -> (x[2]), i)
z = H_circular |> vec
    
scatter!(
    ax,
    x[z .== true]
    y[z .== true], 
    color = (rand(1:4, length(z)))[z .== true]; 
    colormap = logocolors,
    markersize=20,
)
    
hidedecorations!(ax)
hidespines!(ax)
f

Looks awesome! You might put this in a script somewhere for when we make didactical versions.

Should we add the name?

I think the square one is closer to what we try to achieve.

I'll add a recipe for Makie whenever I have some free time.

This is based on a script I made a couple of months ago for some figures. I was thinking on maybe adding a mask that draws "HDC" in the square, I'll give it a shot and share it here

Not sure about this one, but here is an example

[cvigilv]

I think we can decrease the resolution of the grid to 10x10 and just have the square. Look at this example (increasing density):

I think around 50% density looks good

[cvigilv]

Maybe even 5x5 grid:

[cvigilv]

Ok this is the last one before I stop tinkering with this (i like visualizing things to much):

top row to bottom row, increases in hypervector dimension from 5x5 to 20x20 in increments of 5 per dimension. Densities explored are from 30% to 50% in 5% increments

[cvigilv]

Thought about a more straightforward alternative to the logo: reproduce the Julia logo as the hypervector plots.

Normal coloring	Random coloring

I much prefer the normal coloring version.

NOTE: This is far from complete, as the circles are misaligned.

One could also add differently sized dots make it more interesting:
