Aleph One Description

Aleph One is a comprehensive fractal generation application. It is highly flexible, with just about every calculation it does capable of being modified by the user with the built-in expression generator. It supports full 32-bit colouring schemes for the fractals, so no longer are you limited to 256 colour palettes! To enable and support this feature it has a completely configurable "colour range" tool that is used to create a 32-bit "colour range" that is used to colour the fractal (which is separately saveable for independant redistribution in ".FCR" format, which is actually just an XML file). For those really lucky people out there with 2 (or more!) processors Aleph One is completely multi-threaded and capable of making use of all of the processors! It implements a unique, mathematically efficient, work-stealing algorithm for load balancing across the processors, called "Divide-N-Conquer". A "trace" of points can be set up (by the user) in the fractal, and then "run" so that the successive orbits of these points in the trace are generated. This may optionally be saved as an AVI. Naturally various decoration options (e.g. colouring according to position in the orbit-trace sequence, etc) are available for the points within the orbit. Various number systems are natively supported. This includes complex, hyper-complex, quaternion and many more in the "custom fractal" mode, where you can create your own fractals with the easy to use expression generator! You can create your own fractal types using the built-in expression generator, which is completely graphical. No programming or mathematical knowledge is assumed!
