Curve stitching is a mathematical art style in which envelopes of straight lines create emergent curves. With little effort, curve stitching can be implemented in computer programs that allow for easy manipulation of parameters. The flexibility and power of computer programs reveal color gradations that are interesting in their own right. This paper discusses an algorithm that does not render curve stitching patterns as collections of line segments, but as density plots. These density plots allow for the exploration of the color gradations and introduce a new approach to rendering curve stitching images.
