The idea is to define a set of lines that will form a geometric pattern for the application to eventually apply self-similarity to the rest of them in order to generate the fractal.
- Draw these pattern
lineson your screen (patterns) through mouse clicks. First mouse click sets the start of a line, second click the end of the same line and repeat. - Optionally for each line the color may be preset through the color toggle group control.
- Select the number of
recursionswith the respective slider control to view the corresponding fractal.
As a warning, it is better not to define too many lines in the pattern (5 should be fine), nor higher recursion levels (no more than 7 for a 5 line pattern); as the recursion is memory and processing intensive and the application is prone to crash if the fractal is too big.
- This client application links the Fractal Library as a subproject, to provide the computational aspects of generating the fractal.
- For that reason the cloning of this project must include the
--recursiveoption.
