FractaSketch(TM) 2.0 By Peter van Roy
Publisher Dynamic Software
Price $50, upgrade $25
( Complete Design Package $500 )
FractaSketch 2.0 is an interactive color tool for designing and drawing
intricate fractals. Users can create fractals from basic shapes that they enter
graphically. In addition, the program comes with over 100 ready-to-use fractal
images; from natural-looking objects to beautiful mixtures of order and chaos.
The program provides infinite drawing levels, proportional line thickness
capabilities, and the ability to compute fractal dimensions and save images in
either 'Compact Format', Postscript(TM) or in PICT file format. Some of the

MandelMovie automatically draws the Mandelbrot set, Julia set and
other equations. It also lets the user create their own animations of
Mandelbrot and Julia sets, using smooth panning and zooming features. It
includes a variety of algorithms to choose from when creating your fractals,
and supports extensive color editing. Users can enter their own customized
equations for original fractals when using a Macintosh with co-processor
machine. The program allows you to define any precision element of your
fractal, a feature that is ideal for all zooms. It also features a scripting
language to program movies from your fractal animations, a status window,
on-line tutorial and program help, support of printing and easy export of PICT
files, easy storage of files as PICTs to be converted to QuickTime movies, and
the showing of orbits and cross sections of four-dimensional fractals.
Fractus:IFS(TM)
1.0
(color version)
By Eric (Doc) Kampman
Publisher Dynamic Software
Price $15
Fractus IFS allows you to design linear (IFS) fractals and make
them look the way you want them to - no more wasted hours wandering through the
Mandelbrot set looking for an image that will fit into your page layout. The
program saves documents as both Fractus and PICT files, so that you can open
them in a variety of popular paint programs. A detailed companion manual
explains the principles of IFS fractals, and describes how users can quickly
and easily generate interesting images. The program also draws multiple
fractals simultaneously, and imports PICT files as templates for modeling
fractals after existing images. It lets you design fractals to fit properly
into your documents, and supports the production of these fractals in b/w or
full-color.
Expansions
1.0
(B/W)
By John Stokes
Price $40
Publisher Dynamic Software
Expansions is a program that lets the user create intricate patterns based on
definable growth rules. These patterns are generated by using a graphical
toolbox that assigns predetermined instructions to expanding vectors. The
produced images can be saved, altered or exported to other programs.
Chaos:
Mathematics for the 21st Century 1.0.
(B/W)
By Bernt Wahl
Publisher Dynamic Software
Price $30
Chaos: Mathematics for the 21st Century is designed to show the various effects
of standard chaos models. It is useful as an interactive introduction to the
subject in the classroom or simply to understand its models. The program
provides animation of fourteen system models, including: phase space, pendulum,
Duffing equation and cycle, predator-prey, van der Pol equation, Rössler
and Lorenz attractor. Poincaré cuts, Henon mapping, logistic map,
population model, quit map and others. Sophisticated on screen interaction
allows users to model many systems found in books on chaos.
