Hi Petr, that's a cool one!

You might be able to get some better behavior when run as a command if you kind of batch up the points in an array and then have a tighter loop at the end that just pumps out points.

The main difference between running as a command versus an instant script, is that the command version runs in a separate thread and so does not block the main program thread while it is running. So that allows for things like the window to redraw while the script is running instead of making the window appear to be locked up until the script is finished.

In v3 I think I'll probably try to set up some alternate geometry creation methods for simple objects, stuff like geometryDatabase.addPoints(); , stuff like that so you won't have to go through factories for creating some basic types of things.

Hello guys!

Where could I learn more about procedural geometries and fractals etc. from? are there some books for it ?
sin cos ln... those very ancient concepts :) from college... :D

I have searched on Amazon ... I wrote: "fractal java" and finally I got a lots book...any idea which could be the more proper?

Well, one of the original ones is "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" by Benoit Mandelbrot, but that may be somewhat heavier in math orientation.

But that's probably a good place to start on Amazon and then look on that page for related books or recommendations.

Another good one to check out is "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants" by by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and Aristid Lindenmayer. Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system

Funny I found today a prog (free) chaospro

there is on the site all progs about that !
http://www.chaospro.de/scripts/related.php

Take a look at the Mechanical Gallery ;)
http://www.fractal-recursions.com/

For real time exploration! Xaos free (increase the zooming speed to 5 ;)

The more funny and easy and gratifiant is Chaoscope ;) (free)

File/New
F3 Start (Press any time you want for a new random parameters)
F4 Calculate
Esc Stop
I don't resist to make another one at each time I name it :D
