Glossary of terms used in this Wiki

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
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
