Title: Help a total newbie please! Post by: SagaKZX on May 25, 2016, 08:23:24 PM Hello ! I have an school project that involves math and fractals and i could really use a C++ program or something like that which could help me write UMC using fractals.I would be really grateful to anyone with a solution.Thanks!

Title: Re: Help a total newbie please! Post by: SagaKZX on May 26, 2016, 11:39:06 AM UMC are the initials of my university.To be more explicit,i could use a GIF that would write "UMC" using fractals.I would really appreciate if that's possible.

Sadly, the alphabet is not a fractal :sad1: This would best be done using an image of the logo and a fractal generator that can handle image textures (there are several if you want to go that route). The alternative is something like JWildfire which has an option to work text into flame fractals. It does not write them out animated, but it can be done. Animating the letters gets tricky and you'd have to experiment with a combination of generated images and post work in a video editor. Hope that helps! Oh yeah...

Post by: claude on May 26, 2016, 12:29:17 PM You can construct an IFS (iterated function system) that maps a rectangle containing the whole text to the strokes of the text of UMC. For example, UMC could be written something like:
Code: |_| |\/| |= I do have a program that can do this (and more) but it's written in Haskell and isn't quite production-ready (and probably slightly bitrotted in the last years). Still, an example screenshot and video is here: https://mathr.co.uk/blog/2012-12-24_haskell_irc_fractal.html Title: Re: Help a total newbie please!

Post by: Sockratease on May 26, 2016, 04:06:02 PM Nice links, Chillheimer! Here's what I meant by working with images of words - this was done in Mutatorkammer (yes, I still love that program despite never making it out of beta, and being unstable on modern operating systems) (I never found an easier and more versatile way to use pictures in fractals!)
