This animation explores nonlinearity in the effects of a standard software image-scaling function on source image constructed using an algorithm derived from the construction of the Hilbert Curve. This nonlinear interaction happens because the scaling function uses a Hilbert-Curve-based algorithm to select a sample of points in the source image from which to create the scaled-down version.
