#+TITLE: Iterated Function Systems in Fortran (IFSIF)

This project is an opportunity for me to learn to create and design iterated function systems, as well as Fortran, C++, and interoperability between the two.

• Features

• Additive or subtractive color mixing
• Multithreaded rendering
• Post processing with OpenCV
• Several builtin useful functions for generating fractals (see functions.f90)
• Image stacking for noise reduction

• Generating Fractals All that's needed to compile and run the ifs is make. #+begin_src bash $make$ ./ifs #+end_src

• Limitations

• The Makefile included was written to use clang on MacOS, but there's no reason it can't be compiled on other platforms. It just will need adjustment.
• At this time, the only way to set the functions is through ifs.f90, but eventually I plan to implement a node editor and API for composing functions together.
