XaoS

An interactive fractal zoomer

XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer. It allows the user to zoom fractal in a fluid, continuous motion.

XaoS includes many animated tutorials that make learning about fractals. XaoS can display many different fractal types, including Mandelbrot, Barnsley, Newton, Phoenix, and many more. Fractals can be rendered using various coloring methods and planes. XaoS also supports switching between Julia and Mandelbrot sets for each formula.

XaoS currently runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix-like systems. Older versions are available for DOS, BeoS, and more.

XaoS was originally written by Thomas Marsh and Jan Hubicka, and it is currently maintained by Zoltán Kovács.
