1# FractalGenerator Project 2An extensible Fractal Generator software 3 4<https://www.uni-due.de/~be0001/fractalgenerator/> 5 6## Description 7 8FractalGenerator is a Qt-based program to generate fractal images (e.g. Mandelbrot set). The size of the calculated images is only limited by the computer's virtual memory. That is, images may use the full printer resolution! It is Open Source. I created this program as an example for object-oriented programming and writing Qt applications for our Linux Workshop 2003. The goal of this workshop is to continue this basic application as an Open Source project. 9 10## Screenshots 11 12[Click here to view some screenshots!](https://www.uni-due.de/~be0001/fractalgenerator/pictures.html) 13 14## Binary Package Installation 15 16Please use the issue tracker at https://github.com/dreibh/fractgen/issues to report bugs and issues! 17 18### Ubuntu Linux 19 20For ready-to-install Ubuntu Linux packages of FractalGenerator, see Launchpad PPA for Thomas Dreibholz! 21 22``` 23sudo apt-add-repository -sy ppa:dreibh/ppa 24sudo apt-get update 25sudo apt-get install fractgen 26``` 27 28### Fedora Linux 29 30For ready-to-install Fedora Linux packages of FractalGenerator, see COPR PPA for Thomas Dreibholz! 31 32``` 33sudo dnf copr enable -y dreibh/ppa 34sudo dnf install fractgen 35``` 36 37### FreeBSD 38 39For ready-to-install FreeBSD packages of FractGen, it is included in the ports collection, see Index of /head/graphics/fractgen/! 40 41 pkg install fractgen 42 43Alternatively, to compile it from the ports sources: 44 45``` 46cd /usr/ports/graphics/fractgen 47make 48make install 49``` 50 51## Sources Download 52 53FractalGenerator is released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). 54 55Please use the issue tracker at https://github.com/dreibh/fractgen/issues to report bugs and issues! 56 57### Development Version 58 59The Git repository of the FractalGenerator sources can be found at https://github.com/dreibh/fractgen: 60 61- Issue tracker: https://github.com/dreibh/fractgen/issues. 62 Please submit bug reports, issues, questions, etc. in the issue tracker! 63 64- Pull Requests for FractalGenerator: https://github.com/dreibh/fractgen/pulls. 65 Your contributions to FractalGenerator are always welcome! 66 67- Travis CI automated build tests of FractalGenerator: https://travis-ci.org/dreibh/fractgen. 68 69- Coverity Scan analysis of FractalGenerator: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/dreibh-fractgen. 70 71### Current Stable Release 72 73The tarball has been signed with my GnuPG key DF605BB0760F2D65.
