What is the Golden Section?
Golden Section is a proportion, in
which a straight line (or a rectangle) is
divided into two unequal parts in such a
way, that the ratio of the smaller to
the greater part is the same as that of
the greater part to the whole figure
(AB:BC=BC:AC)
Golden Section is the only non
natural number whose mutual and
whose square keep unchanged its
decimal part.

= 2,618033989

The golden section has always had
a great influence on many subjects:
Geometry
Architecture
Art
Music
Science(botanic)
Egyptians and Greeks
It appears that the Egyptians may
have used both pi and phi in the
design of the Great Pyramids.

The Greeks based
the design of the
Parthenon on this proportion
Geometry
Pythagoras was the first who discovered a golden
proportion drawing a regular pentagram, which has a
regular pentagon inscribed within it(and that was the
Pythagorean's symbol as well).






Euclid provides the first known written
definition of what is now call golden ratio
The golden ratio (phi) represented as a line
divided into two segments A and B, such that
the entire line is to the longer A segment as
the A segment is to the shorter B segment
The ratio has a special relationship with
Fibonacci
Numbers(1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21). Each
number is the sum of the two numbers
before it. If you take any two
successive Fibonacci Numbers their
ratio is very very close to Golden
Section.

Golden Section
Fibonacci
Fibonacci discovered the first sequence ever known in Europe
examining at the same time a practical problem which dealt
with the development of a hypothetical population of rabbits
based on idealized assumptions. He noticed that, after every
monthly birth, the number of the rabbits couples increased
from 1 to 2 to 3 to 5 to 8 to 13 etc., and understood that
the sequence moved on by adding the previous two numbers, a
sequence which could theoretically continue without ending.

The special meaning of Phi
Phi is the first letter of Phidias,
who used the golden ratio
in his sculptures, as well as
the Greek equivalent to the
letter "F," the first letter of
Fibonacci. Phi is also the
21st letter of the Greek
alphabet, and 21 is one
of numbers in the Fibonacci series.

Phi as a door to understanding life
The description of this proportion as Golden
and Divine is fitting perhaps because it is seen
by many to open the door to a deeper
understanding of beauty and spirituality in
life. That's an incredible role for a single
number to play, but then again this one
number has played an incredible role in human
history and in the universe at large.

In the end, the golden
section has always
fascinated us, and it
will continue because of
his component of
irrationality and
inexplicability.
Fractals
In modern mathematics, the golden ratio occurs in the
description of fractals, figures that exhibit self-similarity and
play an important role in the study of chaos and dynamical
systems.

There are several
examples of fractals,
which are defined as
portraying exact self-
similarity, quasi self-
similarity, or statistical
self-similarity. While
fractals are a
mathematical
construct, they are
found in nature, which
has led to their
inclusion in artwork.
They are useful in
medicine, soil
mechanics, seismology,
and technical analysis.

Atrise Golden Section

This program is a unique design tool
for artists, designers, programmers,
photographers. It allows us to design
using the golden section proportion
visually over our preferred design
software. This software makes it possible
to use one of the most effective and
finest secrets of harmony and
perfectionthe golden section!
Many developers use this
program to create beautiful
dialogs and forms. We can also
use this program to find
harmonious points and crop our
photos. It supports third rule,
symmetry, attention points.
The program will help us see
harmonious dimensions and forms.
It will assist us in creating
elegant items, while staying away
from calculators and numbers.
Simply launch the program,
adjust the dimensions for the
design and create!
It is well known, that the important part
of perception is perception of forms,
sizes and symmetry. Harmonious
correlation of sizes and forms is used
practically everywhere in arts, design and
technology. The golden section allows
producing beautiful pieces, using simple
rules, and is accessible for every
designer. However, simplicity in
achievement of harmony requires
calculations and a straight eye.
Atrise Golden Section is a program, which
allows avoiding the routine operations,
calculator compilations, planning of
grouping and forms. We can see and
change the harmonious forms and sizes,
while being directly in the process of
working on our project. Designing has
never been that simple. The precision is
also available. The program offers easy
methods of achieving sizes with accuracy
to a nearest pixel.
So what will the program help you see
and do?
Form and size correlation control. Ratio
Section look mode
Rectangle form control. Rectangle and simple
look modes
Symmetry. Rectangle look mode
Square cells grid. Grid look mode
Photo grids. Photo and border look modes
Dimensions. Spirals and circles look modes
Book design. Book and border look mode
Geometry. Triangle look mode
Program User Interface. Main Window.


Supported Design Software
This program is not a plugin. It works with almost
all design software, including, of course, Adobe
Photoshop.
Different Grid Modes

We can see golden ratio grids,
spirals, circles.
Harmonious Dimensions and
Forms

The program will help us find harmonious
dimensions and forms. We can create
beautiful digital artwork and real things.
Photo Features

We can also use this program to find
harmonious points and crop our photos. It
supports third rule, symmetry, attention
points.
Software GUI Development

Many developers use this program to
create beautiful dialogs and forms.
Secret Features for Stocks

Golden ratio is usable everywhere,
even for a stock quotes and market
analysis!
