Documentation

Quaternion Fractal Creator class. This class provides the interface to the Creation of Julia sets of Quaternion Fractals. It is right now specialized for use with the Cube Polygonization Algorithm.

QuatFractCreator( double a, double b, double c, double d)

Constructor. A Quaternion Fractal with C = [a b c d] is created.

inline void set_method(pm m)

Set rendering method. By now only Cube rendering gives cool results but in future there should be several different rendering methods that one can choose from with this method.

inline void set_fparams(const FractParams& fp)

Set the fractal parameters. Simply overwrites the actual fractal parameters saved in fparams with the given ones.

inline FractParams get_fparams()

Get the fractal parameters. Should be clear.

bool konv(Quat &q)

Convergence check. Tests if the actual sequence converges at q.

void init_conv_map()

Initialize convergence cache. Iterates through the area that will be rendered (defined by fparams) and sets up the convergence map.

void tetra_polygonize()

Tetra polygonizing algorithm. Polygonize the fractal using tetraeders to calculate the polygons.

void tetra_test()

Tetra test method. Do some debugging tests on tetra polygonizer.

void cube_init()

Initialize the cube cache. For all 254 variants of cube edge configurations the polygons are defined by a list<char> containing indices to vectors pointing on the edges of the cube. The normals of each cube variant is cached, too.

void cube_polygonize()

Cube polygonizing algorithm. Polygonize the fractal using cubes.

void cube_merge_n_draw()

Merge normals and draw fractal. Merge the normals of neighbor cubes and draw the polygons in the cubes.

void cube_test()

Cube polygonizing tests.

void track_polygonize()

Surface tracking algorithm. It is not implemented yet
