General ⇒ mandelbrot

[flok]

Hi,

Last week I learned that latex is an interesting way of generating documents.
Since I'm slightly obsessed by fractals and the mandelbrot fractal specially, I created a program (in c++) which emits a latex-script containing a mandelbrot fractal in text with colors as well.
The c++ code as well as an example (.tex and .pdf) can be found on my website: https://www.vanheusden.com/misc/latex/

Hi flok,

welcome to the forum!

Very nice! Did you know that we can calculate fractals right within a LaTeX document?

I made some with LaTeX, usually requiring LuaLaTeX:

• Mandelbrot set
• Julia set
• Lorentz Attractor drawing
• Feigenbaum diagram
• Fractal landscapes
• Iterated function systems
• L-Systems
• Some are on TeXample.

If you are interested, we can make more fractals, you may know more to do.
