Fractal Explorer Chrome Extension
Explore a variety of fascinating fractals directly in your browser with this interactive Chrome Extension. Adjust parameters, change colors, zoom in on details, and save your creations.
Features
Explore a wide variety of fractals, including Mandelbrot, Julia, Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski patterns, L-Systems, IFS (Barnsley Fern), Lyapunov, Plasma, Phoenix, and Nova fractals. Enjoy interactive exploration with mouse-based zoom and pan on supported fractals. Fine-tune parameters specific to each type, such as constants, polynomial degrees, recursion depth, iteration counts, and more. Customize colors using various modes and gradients or fixed colors. Save your favorite fractal views as PNG images. The extension uses a Web Worker for complex calculations, ensuring a responsive UI that doesn't freeze during generation.
Usage
1. Click the Fractal Explorer extension icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the popup.
2. Select a fractal type from the "Choose a fractal" dropdown menu.
3. Relevant parameters for the selected fractal will appear below. Adjust them as desired.
4. Adjust color settings if needed.
5. Click the "Generate" button to render the fractal.
6. For fractals supporting interaction (like Mandelbrot, Julia):
* Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out at the cursor's location.
* Click and drag the mouse to pan the view.
* Use the dedicated Zoom/Pan buttons in the "Controls" section.
7. Click the "Reset View" button to return to the default view for the current fractal.
8. Click the "Save Image" button to download the current view as a PNG file.
9. Click the "Stop" button (enabled during generation) to cancel an ongoing calculation.
