Glossary of terms used in this Wiki
- affine
- anti-aliasing
- a method to reduce unwanted visual effects like jaggy edges, which may also occur in flame-fractals
- chaos game
- an often-used algorithm to compute flame-fractals
- flame
- short notion of flame-fractal
- flame-fractal
- a special kind of ifs, invented by Scott Draves with various esthetic improvements in mind
- iterations
- Iteration means to repeat a process or function.
- ifs
- iterated function system, a method to describe a certain families of fractals. A flame-fractal, invented by Scott Draves, is a special kind of ifs
- quality
- a measurement of number of iterations inside the chaos game producing a visualisation of the flame-fractal. Usually, the higher number of iterations, the higher the visual quality is
- transform
- one member-function of the iterated function system. All the transforms together must meat certain conditions in order to form a flame-fractal which is actually visible and visually appealing
