Illustrations of Irreducibility and Tops of Umbrellas in the PostScript Methodology
Ivan A. Kovalew and Dmitry W. Serow

Sierpinski carpets and similar objects, irreducible and indecomposable continua are visually realized based on the PostScript language. Algorithmic problems associated with rendering effects and the presence of tops of umbrellas and irreducible points have been solved within the PostScript language methodology.

Key words: PostScript, operator, operand, stack, dictionary, Sierpinski sieve, Sierpinski carpet, rectangular snowflake, top of umbrella, irreducible point, irreducible continuum, indecomposable continuum
