I want this fractal program, but they don't make the plug-in for MACs :(




A fractal is a pattern that exhibits more complexity as it is enlarged .... the closer you get the more detail you see. Its complex mathematics has many applications including 'fractal art.'
The term 'fractal' comes from the Latin verb 'frangere' that means to fragment or break. This word originated from work undertaken on the fractal geometry of nature by the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975.
