The fractals on this page were selected from more than 2000 images listed in the Fractals Index provided by the Physics Department of the University of Wisconsin: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/fractals/collect/
The definition we read on the previous page stated that a fractal is a very irregular line or surface. However, the index provided this one:
SUN.GIF (26.4 KB)
And this one, which is completely symmetrical, like the image a kaleidoscope produces:
mygarden.jpg (207.9 KB)
NOTE: Images over 100 KB have been reduced in size so they will load faster. You may see the original image by clicking on the reduction.
Most of the images in the index are irregular, but there are many which are reflections about one of the axes, like "GEODE" on the previous page, a reflection about the x-axis, although the colors are different.
The largest fractal I found (in terms of the number of kilobytes it requires) is this:
MANDEL01.GIF (496.8 KB)!
And the smallest:
SPRENNET.GIF (9 KB)
