Fractals - Polygon
Fractals - Polygon
Description:
This is a probabilistic fractal Manipulatives. After the user chooses the number of vertices with the right-hand slider, the computer starts a random procedure, moving a certain fraction (set with the other slider) of the way toward a randomly chosen vertex, coloring the nearest pixel, and repeating the process, using additional vertices as attractors. Each pattern is constructed pixel by pixel. As is typical of fractal constructions, each portion is repeated on a smaller and smaller scale, so that if we were able to blow up each portion sufficiently, each little piece would be identical to any corresponding piece at any other stage.
