gnofract4d - Man Page
a GUI fractal generator/explorer
Synopsis
gnofract4d
Description
gnofract4d is a free, open source program which allows anyone to create beautiful images called fractals. The images are automatically created by the computer based on mathematical principles. These include the Mandelbrot and Julia sets and many more. You don't need to do any math: you can explore a universe of images just using a mouse.
