FractalNow
Version 0.8.2 (2017-10-28)
Copyright: 2011-2017 Marc Pegon pe.marc@free.fr
Homepage: https://fractalnow.sourceforge.io/
Description
FractalNow is an open source, multi-platform fractal
generator.
It provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals
quickly and easily.
It is made of both a command line (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.
What's new in this version
- Switched to Qt5 (no changes from the user point of view)
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 for multiple precision (arbitrary precision) floats
