Abstract

Kolam designs of South Indian folk art are treated as examples of two-dimensional picture languages, Many of the complicated kolain patterns are seen to be generable by context-free array grammars. Two methods of kolam generation are discussed. One method is to generate the kolam patterns by array grammars with a finite number of primitives as terminals. The other is to generate labeled dots by array grammars and then to give a finite number of simple instructions to draw the kolam pattern on the framework of labeled dots.
