Fractals III

CSE Fractals III

All
fractal images on this website have been created with the Malab program CSE Fractals III written by L.Cavin. This program can be downloaded here for free.

This is a program for Matlab - you will require a running Matlab to start this software!

Features and Usage

Call fractal_explorer; without any arguments. This command will open the main window and draw the Mandelbrot Set. All features are available via the menus.



The features include:
  • Logistic Equation1
  • Real 2D Attractors:
    • Henon Attractor1
    • Pickover System1
    • Arbitrary Quadratic Map1
  • Real 3D Attractors:
    • Lorenz Attractor2
    • Rössler Attractor2
    • Limited Quadratic Map2
  • Complex Maps:
    • Mandelbrot Set1,5
    • Julia Sets1,3,5
    • Arbitrary Polynomial Newton-Raphson Attraction Basins1,5
    • Barnsley's Tree1,5
    • Arbitrary Mandelbrot and Julia-based Sets1,5
  • Quaternions:
    • Mandelbrot and Julia Sets2
  • String Systems:
    • Lindemayer Systems Single Rule
    • Lindenmayer Systems Multiple-Rules
    • Plant-like systems:
      • Barbsley's Fern4
      • Fractal Trees
    • 3-D Systems
      • 3D-Multi-rules Lindenmayer Systems2
      • Menger Sponge2,4
  • Folded Plans:
    • Fractal Clouds
    • Fractal Landscapes2
Notes:
1 Interactive Zooming
2 Interactive 3-D View
3 Julia explorer with on-the-fly previews
4 Limited to built-in parameters
5 Include the function Make-It-3D™


For many functions, dialogs will allow introducing user-defined parameters for the calculation. Most dialog contains a button labeled "Cool Params" or "Examples" - this will propose a set of parameters leading to a chaotic behavior (as it is sometimes difficult to find a good parameter set), or displaying well-known systems or interesting results. Some example are also provided to highlight options not explicitely explained in the dialogs...
For the computation of Julia Sets, it is of course possible to enter the Julia Constant by clicking on the main figure if it displays a Mandelbrot Set.

Zooming is done by selecting the two bounds on the main figure (for complex sets, the button "Zoom In" must be pressed first).

Do not be afraid, I am confident that the program will work - without warranties of course ;-)
Thanks to the Free Software Foundation for inspiring this nice little legal blahblah... My favorite part is the "inability to use"... even if the "general, special, incidental or consequential" part is also quite fun!
