Abstract:
Functional, or compositional, geometry is a method of constructing complex
pictures from simpler ones, apllying binding operations. The method is naturally related to
functional programming and can be used as a tool for education or self-education in
programming. The paper introduces to compositional geometry, bringing attention to its
several variants, more specifically the one implemented in the author's language U. Examples
of simple, straightforward compositions are shown, as well as ones that can only be achieved
through programming.
