New release: fractgen-3.0.2.
New release: fractgen-3.0.1.
After a long time, new major release is available: fractgen-3.0.0! This version brings a lot of improvements, particularly multi-threading support for the computations (i.e. significant speed-ups on modern CPUs), GUI usability improvements, support for Qt 6, an optional KDE version, as well as an optional command-line version.
FractalGenerator is a Qt-based program to generate fractal images (e.g. Mandelbrot set). The size of the calculated images is only limited by the computer's virtual memory. That is, images may use the full printer resolution! It is Open Source. I created this program as an example for object-oriented programming and writing Qt applications for our Linux Workshop 2003. The goal of this workshop is to continue this basic application as an Open Source project.
