Abstract

We show the applicability of pure functional programming for the construction of modules which create procedural textures for image synthesis. We focus our attention to the construction of generic combinators and transformers of textures, which permit to write texture generators of substantial complexity in a very compact and intuitive manner. We present a concrete package implemented in Clean.
