Library and example applications to visualize various fractals.
Required software:
- JDK8 (might work with later, untested)
- Eclipse (
.projectprovided, could be changed to other IDEs or command line) - OpenSCAD (for producing STL of spheres)
Simply import the base folder into Eclipse as a project. Applications should just run (each has customization options in main).
The Spheres application outputs to terminal calls that can be copy-pasted into the scad source (apollonia module).
Then simply render and export as STL (or other format of your choice).
Visualizes a Fibonacci spiral up to k iterations.
Produces an Apollonian gasket given initial curvatures and iterations.
Visualizes Apollonian spheres given iterations. Also produces coordinates/radii that can be easily used with OpenSCAD for STL export.
In the scripts folder the apollonian.scad file provides an easy way to export spheres to STL (or other formats).
Simply take the output of the Spheres application, paste into the apollonia module.
The default operation is to then perform a a cut along a plane, but this can be easily commented out/modified.
