Fractal Explorer

Fractal Explorer is a cool educational tool that lets you watch fractals being created right before your eyes. It has a simple and friendly interface, making it super easy to use. You’ve got a display window that you can make bigger or smaller and a dialog box for parameters that you can hide or show whenever you want.

Explore Fractal Algorithms

This software works with two types of fractal-generating algorithms: Mandelbrot and Julia. These names refer to sets of complex numbers used in sequences of sums and square multiplications that don’t go off to infinity. Based on these equations, Fractal Explorer shows colorful pixels that change depending on how fast the sequence diverges.

The Beauty of Fractals

Fractals are amazing! They appear both in nature and in math, showing repeating patterns at different scales. In Fractal Explorer, you’ll see objects represented in various colors indicating the repetition of certain sets. It’s like art created by math!

Create or Load Fractals Easily

When you open Fractal Explorer, you can either load an image of a fractal you've created before or let the software whip up a new one for you. It supports several file types like FTF, TIFF, PNG, JPG, or BMP. You can also manually enter what you'd like to display to get just the right view.

Simplified Image Management

You have the option to easily load an image for study or generate a new one based on specific input settings. Plus, if you ever want to go back to the original settings, just hit the Reset button! And don’t worry about saving your creations; you can save them as TIFF, FTF, or any common picture format.

The Fascination with Fractals

Fractals aren’t just about math or biology; they’re phenomena found across many fields of science and nature! They offer exciting opportunities for exploration. Fractal Explorer’s goal is to help you observe how these stunning patterns evolve over time. Although it does its job well, it could use some handy features like manual navigation tools or options for changing colors in the fractal displays.
