Download Fractal-Top

  1. Fractal-Top 3.5.3 - Dec. 2022, the latest. With Java (Oracle or IBM's Semeru) installed, just double click the jar file to run it. (Yes, JavaQuat is now Fractal-Top.)
    • All: FTnJ3.5.3.zip (5.3Meg includes Jars for Fractal-Top and Fractal-Top-Joiner & outdated documentation that I'm currently working on.)
    • There are many fixes and additions. Major changes are (1) infinite precision, and thus unlimited zooms, in the loops for the Mandelbrot and Mandelcube fractals and Julia sets, (2) parallel processor draw for multi-core (multi-CPU) computers, (3) point orbit plotting and (a first attempt at) counting and finding the attractors in the orbit.
    • I'm working on the documentation and hoping to have it available by the end of February 2023. I've made just a little progress in the past 6 weeks but, as often happens, unexpected activities have taken a lot of time. At least I'm not bored :-) Fractal Top source may be available at some later date.


    Older versions.
  2. JavaQuat 2.14 Executable jar - 2007 update, just double click the jar file to run it.
  3. JavaQuat 2.04 (Compiled with Java 1.1.7)
    2.03 had a horizontal one-pixel-off problem when drawing slow lines.
    Known problems have been fixed. If there's a problem send email.

Where to get Java

Note

I use Java 1.6 (from Sun and pretty old) and I have just discovered that the Semeru and OpenJDK Javas have some new security system. Just before I retired (2017) I noticed that Oracle had messed up the security software in Java 8. I filed a bug report but wasn't around long enough to see if they fixed it. It looks like they developed something entirely different. I'll have to read "What's New in Java 9" and learn about "Modules" and who knows what else. But I have more urgent things to do at the moment so it may be a while. Sorry.
