@svan Grid patterns are a current focus of mine. So this is very interesting!!  
And @Chrisir’s suggestion reminded me of a post by @hamoid a while back that shows another possible(?) solution to this problem using modulo.

Scroll down to **Example 9B** :

> Hi. A friend asked me how to create 2D patterns and also how to make not only rectangular patterns but other shapes, so I thought I could answer here which might help someone else too slight_smile I’m going to assume you understand the following program: 1A - Randomness size(900, 50); background(255); noStroke(); for(int x=0; x\<30; x++) { fill(random(255)); ellipse(x\*30 + 15, 25, 28, 28); } 2A - First pattern So how can I avoid randomness and make a pattern? I’ll start by al…
