Command Line Interface Iterated Function Systems
Render and view fractals, using the chaos game, from iterated functions systems right on your terminal.

How To Use
cliifs reads in a plaintext file that contains the univariate linear functions you wish to use for your IFS.
The first line must begin with either 1D
or 2D
.
The following lines each represent the coefficients of linear equations, and you may add as many as you like.
See below for specifics on how to write these files.
See the included examples for more details.
Invocation example
To render the IFS stored in a file called exampleFile
, move into the directory containing cliifs.py and run the command:
cliifs exampleFile
Flags
cliifs accepts the following flags
-h
for help.-c
to render in random colors.-i N
to render using N iterations.
1 Dimensional Systems
One dimensional systems are given as a test file whose first line reads simply 1D
.
Each subsequent line has the form a b
which represents the function f(x) = ax+b
.
2 Dimensional Systems
Two dimensional Systems are given as a test file whose first line reads simply 2D
.
Each subsequent line has the form a1 b1 a2 b2 c1 c2
which represents the vector function f(v) = Av+b
.
In this function, A
is the matrix with rows {a1, b1}
and {a2, b2}
, b
is the vector {c1, c2}
and v
is the position vector {x,y}
.
