Fractal GIF Maker

Course Project Presentation

Author: Paul Mofjeld

The App

Fractal GIF Maker is a shiny app which allows you to create and view .gif images of fractals in the complex plane (the realm of imaginery numbers).

Features

  • View fractals at any region of the complex plane; at any resolution (so long as it's square).
  • Allows for flexible customization of the fractal generating function. Experiment!

Default Behavior

By default, the app will produce a gif of the first 20 iterations of the famous Mandelbrot Set. It is meant to closely emulate an example from R's wikipedia page (the inspiration for this project).
