Winterim 2007 Fractals II : These fractals are generated by iterating simple functions, and seeing whether the values of the iterations "escape" to infinity or are trapped. The number of iterations necessary to determine this decides how the colors are distributed. The key to generating these infinitely complex pictures is the fact that they are plotted in the complex plane, where the x-axis represents the real number line, and the y-axis represents the imaginary number line. The software used in this project was Tierazon v2.7, written by Stephen Ferguson.

Winterim 2007 Fractals I : These images were created by the students in Mr. Wert's "Fantastic Fractals" Winterim course. They are all examples of Iterated Function Systems, which plot hundreds of thousands of random points, and then apply certain transformations to them. For example, one transformation might be to move a point three pixels to the left, and another transformation would rotate a set of points 45 degrees. By assigning different probabilities to various transformations, and different colors to frequencies of "hits", these figures are created. The software used in this project is Apophysis v2.02, freeware that was written by Mark Townsend and updated by Peter Sdobnov, Piotr Borys and Ronald Hordijk.
