rsfrac is a terminal-based fractal explorer written in Rust. The application lets you explore Mandelbrot, Burning Ship, and Julia fractals from a text user interface, bringing interactive fractal rendering directly to the terminal.
It is designed for users who want a fast and highly configurable viewer that goes well beyond a simple static fractal generator.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Leverages GPU acceleration and parallel processing for smooth navigation and rapid rendering.
- Uses high precision arithmetic with GMP, MPFR, and MPC to support extremely deep fractal exploration.
- Generates high resolution screenshots of the current view.
- Provides a robust command system for captures, render settings, navigation preferences, color changes, and other adjustments.
- Includes a modular rendering engine with tunable technical parameters for exploring many fractal variations.
- Supports customizable mouse input and a modern terminal interface built with Ratatui.
