"Fraktalai" is a program for creating and editing IFS and Flame Fractal parameters. Once a nice fractal has been found the parameters can be exported to IFS for use with my Iterated Function Systems coloring algorithm. The IFS files that it creates can also be viewed in other fractal programs. Iterated Function Systems is used in image compression. It also becomes very popular as a way of producing fractal images. "Fraktalai" only makes a distinction between Iterated Function Systems and Flame Fractals when loading and saving parameters. The algorithm that generates random fractals is designed to create reasonably interesting parameters but it has no sense of beauty, so you will probably want to make some adjustments. The supplied gradients were created from image files using a special algorithm (you may have noticed the names of a few famous paintings). This sort of gradient looks very nice with Flame Fractals, and "Fraktalai" has the ability to create similar gradients from BMP or JPEG images.
