Fractal Domains http://www.fractaldomains.com Exploring fractals with your Macintosh Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:47:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Back to the Future! http://www.fractaldomains.com/2011/09/back-to-the-future/ http://www.fractaldomains.com/2011/09/back-to-the-future/#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2011 01:54:03 +0000 admin http://www.fractaldomains.com/?p=1625 I’d like to discuss the current state of Fractal Domains development.

[I will try to keep this non-technical, but I will have occasion to mention the two ways Apple provides to write software for OS X. Carbon is the name of the interface a programmer would use that is compatible with the old (pre-OS X) …

Rational Julia set with “stalk” orbit trap. This Julia set was generated from the rational function

f(z) = z^4/(z^3 + 1) + c, c = -0.5196152 + 0.9165436 i

This fractal is based on the same formula as the previous Fractal of the Week “Serrated,” except with a different value used …

f(z) = z^4/(z^3 + 1) + c, c = 0.1876388 + 0.9526279 i

Next week I’ll post another “stalk” style fractal based on the same formula with a different value used for the constant “c”.
