Title: fractal stars Post by: web2k on October 20, 2006, 08:08:29 PM (http://home.rochester.rr.com/jbxroads/interests/sci.fractals/fractal_stars/7star_line.gif)
This is made by replacing the points of a star with a star whose points are also constructed that way. (recurse indefinitely.) Assuredly self-similar! Done using postscript as a language. Here is the seven pointed star rendered as a blob. The bays which resemble Mandelbrot sets are interesting.

I really like it - for my feeling it must be UF you used here ? Margit Title: Re: fractal stars Post by: web2k on October 21, 2006, 10:49:36 PM Margit,
Assuming by UF you mean UltraFractal, the answer is no--I used Adobe Postscript. Check the last graphic in the post to see the code. That's it!

Check the last graphic in the post to see the code. That's it! Thanks for feedback and patience with me John :-))) It seems to me I was a bit stupid to ask this. Whenever I have not any experience with Adobe here, it became clear for me at last that it was not Ultra Fractal you used . But again my compliments - its fascinating ! :-) Margit |
