Shadertoy: matrix rotation for uv.

Today I wrote a simple example in shadertoy about how to apply a rotation using rotation matrices with sin and cos for a uv, see wikipedia.

For uv I used already defined uv. I created a stripe using the modulo function to make rotation visible and completed the rotation with the iTime variable defined in shadertoy to rotate it continuously.

Here is the created source code:

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    //set the uv to a proper size on the center of screen 
    vec2 uv = (fragCoord - 0.5 * iResolution.xy) / min(iResolution.x, iResolution.y);
    // set rotation angle value
    float rot = radians(0.0);
    // this set rotation by time and 
    rot = iTime;a
    // algebra formula for rotation by matrix , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix
    mat2 m = mat2(cos(rot), -sin(rot), sin(rot), cos(rot));
    // rotation of uv with matrix algebra formula where is set the rotation angle 
    uv = m* uv;
    // define float by function module from 1.0 and uv.x - uv.y
    float d = mod(uv.x - uv.y, 1.0);
    // color for fragColor is value of fload d by module function
    vec4 col = vec4(vec3(d), 1.0);
    fragColor = vec4(col);
}

Here is an example share from my shadertoy account.

{
    float d = 0.;
    //vec3 uv = vec3(fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy,iTime*.2);
    vec3 q = vec3(fragCoord.xy/iResolution.yy-13., iTime*.2);
    mat3 m = mat3(-2,-1,2, 3,-2,1, -1,1,3);
    vec3 col = vec3(pow(min(min(f,f),f), 7.)*40.);
    fragColor = vec4(clamp(col + vec3(0., 0.35, 0.5), 0.0, 1.0), 1.0);
}

In order to use it in the Shader Editor android application you need to make these changes:

#ifdef GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH
precision highp float;
#else
precision mediump float;
#endif

uniform vec2 resolution;
uniform float time;
uniform vec4 mouse;
uniform vec4 date;

#define f length(fract(q*=m*=.6+.01*d++)-.5)

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
  float d = 0.91;
  vec3 q = vec3(fragCoord.xy/resolution.yy-13., time*.2);
  mat3 m = mat3(-2,-3,6, 3,-1,1, 0,3,1);
  vec3 col = vec3(pow(min(min(f,f),f), 7.)*40.);
  fragColor = vec4(clamp(col + vec3(0., 0.35, 0.5), 0.0, 1.0), 1.0);
}

void main() {
vec4 fragment_color;
mainImage(fragment_color, gl_FragCoord.xy);
gl_FragColor = fragment_color;
}

You can see these changes are n the first part of the source code and just one on time.

You can play with this source code then use the option Set as wallpaper to have it on your phone.

           p = abs(p)/dot(p,p)- 1.5;
           k = length(p) ;
           p = p*k+k;
