FLARIUM 24 v.8.3 for Windows 95 & NT
====================================
Flarium24 is a program that generates fractal images which can also
be used in backgrounds and textures for other images, artwork or
photos. The minimum requirements to run Flarium24 is a system with
the Windows 95 operating system or Windows NT, 8 Mbytes of Ram, and
a graphics display that is capable of at least 256 colors. High
color or true color is preferred. The program generates fractal
images in a 24 bit true color mode and the images can be saved in 24
bit bitmap files.
This program uses Win32 double precision floating point operations
for all of the calculations.
The Flarium24 program can draw fractal images from a selected
formula in three different methods. In this program, these methods
are refered to as the N-Set (or Newton) method, the M-Set
(Mandelbrot) method and the F-Set (combination N-Set and M-Set). The
default drawing method is the N-Set method. To choose the other
methods, select the F-Set or M-Set toggle toolbar buttons.
The formulae are separated into several categories. Formula 1 is the
classic Mandelbrot formula z=z^2+c. Formula 2 contains the
generalized Mandelbrot formula z=z^cn+c, which allows for the user
to select the value of the complex number ôcnö. The other categories
are the Newton formula/ variations, the Paul Derbyshire Nova
formula/ variations, Shigehiro Ushiki Phoenix curves, Sir William
Rowan HamiltonÆs Quaternions, several formulae contributed by Sharon
Webb, strange attractor formulae based on algorithms by Julian C.
Sprott, and several other formulae that were derived from books and
resources too numerous to mention at this time.
