Today I played around with my little fractal program from yesterday, seeing what sorts of shapes I could make. The all-red color scheme was too limiting, so I made several new versions that add a splash of color.
Below you can see a few of the shapes I found. If you click on the image you can see the results in high resolution.
This is lovely! I could play with it for hours. What determines the colors?
Thanks!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
The colors are determined by the level of subdivision. Cyan is no subdivision, green is 2-3, yellow is 4, red is 6, purple is 7-8, blue is 9-10.
I should probably include an option to let you create different mappings from subdivision level to color.
It might be useful/interesting if color were used to indicate self-intersection. One thing I tried to pay attention to while playing with your program was which kind of shapes created which sorts of self-intersections.
Or define the the origin lines with tangent gradient colors ala diffusion curves!
