fractalnow

We have hosted the application fractalnow in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about fractalnow:

FractalNow provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals quickly and easily.
It is made of both a command line tool, FractalNow, and a graphical tool, QFractalNow.
The graphical tool, based on Qt library, allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures.
Both tools are entirely multi-threaded and implement advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.

Features:

• Intuitive graphical user-interface (QFractalNow) to explore fractal space easily
• A command-line tool (FractalNow) that can work on machines without a desktop, and could be used by scripts to produce animations
• Several formulas available (Mandelbrot, Julia, Multibrot, Mandelbar, Burning ship, Rudy, and more.)
• Various types of coloring available (Iteration counts, Average coloring methods)
• Multiple anti-aliasing methods (Gaussian blur, Oversampling, Adaptive (intelligent)) to produce high quality images
• Advanced algorithms and heuristics to speed up computation (Solid guessing, Adaptive anti-aliasing, Caching)
• Entirely multi-threaded to work even faster on multi-core processors
• Ability to save/load configuration and gradient files
• Support of arbitrary precision floating point numbers

Audience: Science/Research, Education, End Users/Desktop.
User interface: Console/Terminal, Command-line, Qt.
