Art Nouveau Ornamental Panels

Whiplash Vines

Sinuous sage and teal tendrils grow and curl on parchment; each vine ends in a rose or gold bezier-petal bloom, fades, and the cycle restarts.

When to use it

Art Nouveau hero backgrounds, editorial pages, or decorative ambient loops where organic growth motion fits the brand.

When not to

Content-heavy layouts where moving vines compete with text, or low-end devices where continuous canvas redraws are costly.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change vine palette to burgundy and forest green by setting PAL.sage to '#6b2d3e' and PAL.teal to '#2d5a27', and raise the vine cap from 5 to 7. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • vine color palette (PAL object)
  • max concurrent vines (vines.length < 5)
  • vine growth speed (dt*30 segments/s) and spawn interval (acc>1.2 s)
  • vine step (S.w/70 × 1–1.6 px: scales with the canvas) and mount pre-roll (initial vines at 10/18/26 segments)
  • curl intensity (0.5 + Math.random()*0.7)
  • bloom petal count (5 + random*3)
  • bloom size range (6 + random*8)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware fitCanvas with setTransform
  • visibilitychange stop/start guard
  • prefers-reduced-motion static draw path
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in both CSS and canvas fillRect — must change both to recolor
  • No pointer interactivity — vines spawn on a timer only
