Simplicial families of drawings

1. This paper presents a method for helping artists make artwork more 
accessible to casual users. They focus on the specific case of drawings, 
showing how a small number of drawings can be transformed into a richer 
object containing an entire family of similar drawings.

2. This object is represented as a simplicial complex approximating a set of 
valid interpolations in configuration space. The artist guides its 
construction by answering a specially chosen set of yes/no questions. By 
combining the flexibility of a simplicial complex with direct human 
guidance, we are able to represent very general constraints on membership in 
a family.

3. The applications:
 1). random sampling of the space of drawings
 2). constrained interpolation between drawings
 3). projection of another drawing into the family
 4). interactive exploration of the family.

4. Limitations:
1).requires non-trivial effort to prepare "found" drawings for usage in the 
system
2).limited to a small number of drawings
