Fractint: The Most Versatile Fractal Generator

Fractint is a popular freeware fractal generator. It is probably the most
versatile, extensive and well-established fractal program readily available
to enthusiasts who wish to roam inside the beautiful world of fractals,
although many users consider it to be an art toy rather than a serious
mathematical tool.

Fractint plots and manipulates images of "objects" -- actually, sets of
mathematical points -- that have fractal dimension. Its originators were
members of the Stone Soup Group. The group derives its name from an
Eastern European folklore in which a peddler persuades startving villagers
to share pieces of hoarded food to augment his 'stone soup' until all of them
have a nourishing meal to share. In a similar way, the four original
contributors developed Fractint by integrating by taking help and codes
from other users.
