Day 24 of the April 2013 AtoZ Challenge… enjoy…
In my excitement, I may have forgotten to mention my theme – it is fractals, fractal art, everything fractal up to and including my new book Fractal Dreams! Have a look around my pages and such to see lots more fractals. Also, every Friday I post a FridayFractalFeature (fff, for short) for all to enjoy! Thanks for stopping by and engaging in the A to Z 2013 Challenge! This is my FIRST ever, so I’m pretty excited! So every day I will post a fractal whose title starts with the letter of the day… and perhaps other things fractal related.
X is for….
XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer program. It allows the user to continuously zoom in or out of a fractal in real-time.
XaoS is licenced under GPL. The program is cross-platform, and is available for a variety of operating systems.
I know there’s a lot more to Xaos, but I really don’t understand it. I do know Xaos is a way of connecting properties of various transforms in a fractal to create different aspects of interaction and color.
the fractal for X is: XAOS AND I
XAOS AND I

- Xaos is not in my book, Fractal Dreams, which is available exclusively at RedmundPro.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a mathematician, so please forgive the uneducated tone of my definitions. I am an artist, so I try to explain the math of fractals to the best of my (limited) ability.

This is lovely! Isn’t Xaos an amazing program? I’ve come up with a few interesting pieces from it. Another one I like is, Sterling. Lots of Math in that one, but even I get great results…and I can barely add!
LOL! All I can say is thank goodness there are those good folks out there who know the math and can makke applications for us math challenged folks who still want to play with fractals! Great to see you!!!
:)
I thank the Gods of Megabytes every time I open a fractal program and actually read the Math that goes into these images. These amazing folks not only know the Math, they know how to code it into a user-friendly program for us Math Challenged folk, and they share it all freely. World needs more Math geeks!!!
Lovely!
You are too kind!! Thanks!
:)
W—O—W !
I’m speechless.
W.O.W. That’s a pretty cool reaction, Tess… thanks!!!
:)
Your art is beautiful! It always amazes me how creative and talented some people are.
Thanks, Jessica… we are all a lot more talented than we realize!!!
:)
And here I thought Xaos was just your way of saying Chaos like Christmas and Xmas
Oh Bearman… you saw right through me, now, didn’t you!?!?!? Very impressive for you to have picked up on that!!!
:)
This one looks more like an abstract painting than a fractal.
It does have a very abstract look, but it truly came from a chaotic fractal, so it’s kind of like both a painting and a fractal!!
:)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Now I’m hooked and am going to have to learn more about fractal art. Have really enjoyed looking at your pictures every day.
Great, Vicki… I’m so glad to have pleased you with my work!!!
