Gnofract 4D

Gnofract 4D

Gnofract 4D is a GNOME-based, free, open source program which allows users to create beautiful images called fractals.

The images are automatically created by the computer based on mathematical principles. These include the Mandelbrot and Julia sets and many more.

It allows you to treat a fractal which has more than one parameter as a four-dimensional object and interactively view slices of this object from arbitrary angles, giving rise to some very unusual images.

It contains a Fractint-compatible formula compiler, allowing it to draw an unlimited number of fractal types, using numerous coloring options.
