On this page I continue to describe the development of my computer program ConjurePicture (ConjPic for short) for the creation of images using Iterated Function Systems (a branch of Fractal Geometry). As well as showing some of the resulting images, I will show some of the itermediate template images that are used to generate those images.

The picture was generated from only a single iterated function system (ifs) of 7 transformations, a sunset background, its reflection, the reflection of the mountain image, and shimmer added both before and after plotting. Total input data: 200 bytes. I specified a 'plotting density' of 900,000 points per 1,000 x 1,000 twips (1/72"). The program then calculates (based on the determinants of the transformation matrices in the ifs) the actual number of plots to carry out -- in order to preserve uniform plotting density from one image to another, by default, although this can be overridden. In this case, this resulted in plotting about 1.14 million points.
