1XaoS 2==== 3 4XaoS (pronounced *chaos*) is a realtime interactive fractal zoomer. This 5means that it lets you zoom smoothly into any place in the fractal you 6choose without the long calculation required by other fractal generators. 7It has many other features too, like different fractal types, autopilot, 8special coloring modes, random palette generation, color cycling, etc. 9 10You can try the XaoS zooming algorithm online using 11[XaoS.js](http://xaos-project.github.io/XaoSjs/). 12 13XaoS is based on [Qt](http://www.qt.io), and has been tested on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It 14should also work on any other platform supporting Qt Widgets, like the BSDs. 15 16- Original authors: [Jan Hubička](http://www.ucw.cz/~hubicka/) and [Thomas Marsh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasmarsh). 17- Current maintainers: [J.B.

The Google Group provides 35a place for XaoS users to help each other get the most out of XaoS. XaoS 36developers also monitor this discussion and answer questions from time to time. 37You can browse the archives freely but to prevent spam, you must join the group 38in order to post. Google Groups provides options for participation from a 39traditional mailing list to a completely web-based forum, so you don’t have to 40get emails if you don’t want to. 41 42If you think you have found a bug in XaoS or have an idea for a new feature, 43please let us know about it. XaoS is developed on a volunteer basis and the 44developers work on it in their spare time. Therefore, we can’t guarantee that 45issues will be addressed in a certain timeframe. If you are able to fix a bug 46or implement a new feature yourself, pull requests are very welcome. 47 48License 49------- 50 51Copyright © 1996-2020 XaoS Contributors 52 53This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 54it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 55the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 56(at your option) any later version. 57 58This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 59but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 60MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
