Fractal Expression is a IFS generator that creates fractals by iterating source images.
The program let you choose a image and it iterates it over the fractal, by applying a set of rules every iteration.
The resulting fractal is build out of transformed copies the original image.
Contents
Main Panel
The Main Panel has three tabs:
Fractal Tab
Formula Browser
This browser is used for selecting the formula type. As for version v0.2, there are 10 possible formulas (this will be expanded later).
Variation Browser
The variation browser is used for selecting formula variations. Not all combinations of formulas and variations produces fractal results.
The Sides slider
This control determines the number of sides that the fractal will have.
The Iterations slider
This slider is used for setting the iteration depth. the maximum value is 255.
Save and Load Fractal buttons
This is for saving and restoring the fractal parameters of expression. It's important to note that the actual Source Image data, is not included. The parameters are stored as simple text files.
The Slow Render option
This control is used for lowering the CPU requirements of Fractal Expression.
Control Tab
Fractal Parameters control
Iteration Fog control
About Tab
This panel shows the About information and a small help guide about the controls.
Preview Panel
Mouse Controls
When the mouse is over the Preview panel, the controls are the following:
- Left Mouse button: Used for panning the fractal image.
- Mouse Wheel: Performs Zooming.
If the Source Control option is enabled:
- Left Mouse button: Moves the Source Image.
- Mouse Wheel: Scales the Source Image.
- Left Mouse Button while rotating the Mouse Wheel: Rotates the Source Image.
