... that's why I named this project endlos ... ;-) ... I always think of extending it at least in many directions of computer graphics. Something like a tool to create different kinds of computer art. I avoided to put the word "fractal" in the programs name - even though I describe it now as a fractal software. Perhaps, someday endlos will break its fractal boundaries and offer more than just...

As far as I understand, this is not a fractal algorithm. The results look like fractals, but there is an IMHO important difference: A fractal algorithms produces always the same image for the same parameters, but this algorith depends on randomness - brownian motion was mentioned. Thus, you could alwas define the same parameters and still get different images all the time. That might explain why...

2.0 will support this, as unattended rendering of many images/animations is a must have.

I'm planing the 2.0 version of endlos and would like to deploy it as a full Java Web Start Applikation. So far, I can't get it to work with the new 3D support as the 3D APIs (like Java 3D) all need system specific files for the 3D acceleration.
I also haven't found a free/open server that offers Java Web Start support (JNLP). Any suggestions?.

Yup, the popup menu is not optimal as failed clicks can change the image. I guess I will remove the popup menu completely so that clicks over the image are reserved for direct image manipulation like zoom, pan, rotate, scale, etc.
As I like using my mouse, I need those requests from other users. So, 2.0 will support more keyboard shortcuts.

Yup, this looks nice - especially the 3D models: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/DLA_Cluster.JPG/800px-DLA_Cluster.JPG
There's a Java applet showing a 2D version at http://apricot.polyu.edu.hk/~lam/dla/. This seems easy to implement. However, I would like to do it in 3D ;-)

... especially for saving. This would be more than just convenient, it would prevent mis-clicking on the image and causing it to zoom in or out while wanting to save something.

Sometimes (maybe 1 out 5 times plusminus 2) when I hit that reset button, it does not reset to the actual color map but to the previous one. Observed under Linux, 'java -version' tells:
java version "1.6.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_04-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)
Now that a complete rewrite is in progress, this bug report...
