This program turns a simple mathematical formula, found by
Benoît Mandelbrot into fascinating images.
Mathematical knowledge is not required to use this program. It is very easy to use and provides default values for all important settings.
This page shows you four images that were created with WinCIG. The images were
calculated at a size of 320 x 240 pels; images where dithered when converted to the web
colour palette.
WinCIG can handle images up to 4095 x 4095 pels. Larger images contain more details. And
images calculated by WinCIG are not dithered!
Here is another image created by WinCIG.
Below you find the same image, but using a different colour palette.
The colour palette strongly affects how these chaos images look like. One of the
strengths of WinCIG are the many options available for colour palettes.
The image on the right is identical to the image above - except
for the colour palette settings.
WinCIG requires only a 80386 with 8 MB memory.
Actual memory requirements depend on image size!
A Pentium (or better) processor is strongly recommended.
You need a 256 colour display mode to use all colour palettes (32k or more colours
recommended).
Here is yet another image created with WinCIG.
WinCIG is Freeware. You can use it free of charge as long as you please! WinCIG is not restricted in any way!!!
If you like these chaos images, then please also try the screen saver collection "2000 Lights Go Down" from this site!
The Try-before-you-buy-version includes the Apple 2 screen saver that also creates
chaos images. It uses the co-ordinates saved with WinCIG!
