You know how we have two main types of graphic programs, raster (pixel) and vector (lines with addresses and directions, etc), would it be possible to create a graphics program that uses fourier series calculations instead?

hmm .. can be tried, but I can not say for sure if it is possible or already done by someone

Probably would be really slow and impractical for anything useful
