[PyX-user] IFS examples

[Michael J G. <mic...@fa...>]

Hi there,

the PyX gallery shows how to create the Sierpinski triangle and a
fractal tree. These examples are fine as is, but also somehow
"barebones" in their approach. So I'm wondering whether there's interest
in a more systematic/pythonic example on interated function systems.

The attached code shows how to generate the iterated transformations
(Hutchinson operator) using itertools, and also demonstrates that any
compact set converges to the Sierpinski triangle. For other IFS fractals
you simply specify a different set of elementary transformations.

The tree could be redone in a similar way, either looping over orders or
substituting a recursive call for the itertools.product.

Cheers
Michael
