- INTRODUCTION
-
- Fractals are bizarre mathematical objects possessing an infinitely
- detailed structure. Fractal geometry has become increasingly popular in
- recent years because it often does a better job of modeling nature than
- ordinary high school geometry.
-
- FractalWeave is an image generator which uses fractal-based patterns
- to construct scenes of astonishing complexity and beauty. By varying a
- small number of parameters, you can create a practically infinite
- variety of stunning images.
-
