Macintosh software: Graphics Freeware 

The following applications are freeware and may still be downloaded from MIT's Hyperarchive. All run on PowerMacs, OS 7.0 to 9.0, and will run under OS X in Classic. For an OS X-native application that encompasses these three programs and does far more, go see Synthimax.

Escape Fractals is a small program that implements an algorithm described by Clifford Pickover in an article in "Computers and Graphics", Mar/Apr 1995. The image to the left is a sample of what it can produce.

 

 


Surprised Octopus

Halley Maps draws (big surprise) Halley maps, as described by Clifford Pickover in his book "Computers, Pattern, Chaos and Beauty." The image to the left is a sample of what it can produce.

 


Dynamical Systems

 

Dynamical Systems is a program that creates pictures of various dynamical systems. It draws on ideas from (again) Clifford Pickover. The image to the left is a sample of the pictures it produces.
