We describe new algorithms and tools for generating paintings, illustrations, and animation on a computer. These algorithms are designed to produce visually appealing and expressive images that look hand-painted or hand-drawn. In many contexts, painting and illustration have many advantages over photorealistic computer graphics, in aspects such as aesthetics, expression, and computational requi...

Motivated by a new way of visualizing hypergraphs, we study the following problem. Consider a rectangular grid and a set of colors χ. Each cell s in the grid is assigned a subset of colors χs ⊆ χ and should be partitioned such that for each color c ∈ χs at least one piece in the cell is identified with c. Cells assigned the empty color set remain white. We focus on the case where χ = {red, blue...
