Source code
XaoS (pronounced chaos , also known as GNU XaoS) is a realtime interactive fractal zoomer. This means that it lets you zoom smoothly into any place in the fractal you choose without the long calculation required by other fractal generators. It has many other features too, like different fractal types, autopilot, special coloring modes, random palette generation, color cycling, etc. XaoS (since version 4.3, September 2023) is available as a full-featured web application as well. You can try it at xaos.app. Also, you can try a simplified version of the XaoS zooming algorithm online using XaoS.js. XaoS is based on Qt, and has been tested on Windows, Mac and Linux. It should also work on any other platform supporting Qt Widgets, like the BSDs. Original authors: Jan Hubička and Thomas Marsh. Current maintainers: J.B. Langston and Zoltán Kovács. See CREDITS for a complete list of contributors. XaoS is a community-supported free software project. The Google Group provides a place for XaoS users to help each other get the most out of XaoS. XaoS developers also monitor this discussion and answer questions from time to time. You can browse the archives freely but to prevent spam, you must join the group in order to post.
