<\/a>The latest addition to the number of supported fractals are attractors. Below, you can see a gradient coloured Lorenz attractor<\/a> from a paralell projection showiing the X and Y axes (ignoring the Z axis).<\/p>\n
I’m exploring all these fractal types with the goal to create a base class, AbstractFractal, that I can put into a GUI. Then, fractals can be created from plug-ins, where the plug-in factory can get the actual fractals from a set of definition files – hopefully compatible with FractInt (or very similar, so that machine conversion is possible).<\/p>\n Then, all that is left is to create a nice Qt GUI and utilize QtConcurrent to get some performance from it. Also, have a bit of a sit-down and think through the whole memory situation – right now the application is somewhat hungry…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" >So, more summer and more fractal fun. First of all, now everything is coloured by shaders. A shader, per my definition, picks the colour for any given point\/line-segment depending on direction, iterations, or group – where group can be the factor set used (IFS fractals) or angle in predefined steps (L-systems) or just zero (all … Continue reading >Attracting Fractals<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.thelins.se\/johan\/uploaded_images\/rossler-attractor-748631.png\")
<\/a>The introduction of attractors really exposed the lack of properties. The idea is that each fractal provides a range of properties (be it ints, doubles or compex numbers – perhaps also enums). These can then be queried and set from the UI using a standardized interface.<\/p>\n
