marg_0_250: margin width/height of 0.25"
20250924....: the date and time when the image was captured.

Each project has unique variables. The datetime is especially important to avoid overwriting outputs.

Here's the filename for the image above.

"swatches_sspboyd-8x10-tts_18-num_col_7-num_r_4-c_3_3_1_1_3_4_3-r_7_1_3_7-csd_0_361-rsd_0_514-marg_0_250-20250924094216900.png"

Keeping all this info helps me when I am tuning the code/algorithm and eventually creating versions on paper.

When I work on an idea for a generative art piece, I write code in #P5js or #Processing to create the images.
Each project produces hundreds of image outputs over the course of development. To help track the variables used for each output, I embed metadata in the filename.

Canadians are born all over the world.

Sometimes it just takes them awhile to find their way home.

We're glad you found your way home.
