"The I Ching":http://www.ichingonline.net/about.php consists of 64 hexagrams. A hexagram is a figure composed of six stacked horizontal lines (爻 yáo), where each line is either Yang (an unbroken, or solid line), or Yin (broken, an open line with a gap in the center). There are 64 hexagrams in all, each representing an archetypal situation in life. I am working on recreating the following image using Processing http://baharna.com/iching/images/Plate2_Fig1_Hexagrams_FuHsi.gif "Code on Github":https://github.com/rupertrussell/iching001
