Xfractint allows the generation of Mandelbrot, Julia, IFS, and many more fractals in 2D and 3D, including those you design yourself.
This software can draw most kinds of fractals that have appeared in the literature.
It also has a few ‘fractal types’ that are not strictly speaking fractals, but may be more accurately described as display hacks. These include cellular automata. Xfractint is a port of fractint.
Key Features
- Extremely flexible software.
- Large number of different fractal types.
- Zoom.
- Colour editing.
- Color cycling.
- 3D overlay.
- Stereograms.
- Provides information on the fractal types.
