IFStile is a free cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, WebAssembly) application that can:
- build any affine directed graph iterated function system (IFS) in an Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension (as 2D or 3D section)
- fully automatically find interesting fractal shapes, rep-tiles, multi-tiles, irreptiles, carpets, dragons, etc
- extract the boundary of self-affine tiles as directed graph IFS
- compute dimensions of the boundary of self-affine tiles (numerically and analytically)
- export Apophysis .flame format
- effectively zoom IFS fractals
- render high resolution images (with batch rendering)
- render keyframe animation
- create and save 3D mesh
The program uses a special rendering algorithm that can unveil complex structures of the fractal.
To describe IFS sets, the declarative domain-specific language “AIFS” is used. JavaScript language can also be used to extend AIFS definitions.
