Fractal generator: examples   The fractal generator is an application that the developers of Excel probably did not have in mind for their package. It creates graphical images of a certain type of fractals that can be constructed by linear transformations: rotations, line mirrors, multiplications and translations. If you prefer to experiment with the fractal generator without having to start completely from scratch, you can use the following examples. Fern (this is the example shown above)   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.7 0.15 0.15 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 3 -75 75 0   Multiplication: 0.8 0.3 0.3 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 3 2 2 0 Sierpinsky   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.33 0.33 0.33 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 0 0 0 0   Multiplication: 0.5 0.5 0.5 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 -0.5 0.5 0   Y: 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0 Crystal   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.33 0.33 0.33 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 180 180 180 0   Multiplication: 0.5 0.5 0.5 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 -0.5 0.5 0   Y: 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0 Lévy   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.5 0.5 0 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 45 -45 0 0   Multiplication: 0.7071 0.7071 0 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: -1 1 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0 Curly   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.7 0.3 0 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 1 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): -45 0 0 0   Multiplication: 0.8 0.5 0 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0 Pointy   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.6 0.2 0.2 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 -1 -1 0   Angle (degrees): 0 45 -45 0   Multiplication: 0.5 0.5 0.5 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R M M R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0 Spirals   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.92 0.08 0 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 1 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 22.5 0 0 0   Multiplication: 0.95 0.2 0 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0 Squares   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 1 -1 -1 1   Y: 1 -1 1 -1   Angle (degrees): 0 0 0 0   Multiplication: 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.4   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0 Lake shore   Operation 1 Operation 2 Operation 3 Operation 4   Probability: 0.5 0.5 0 0 Multiplying rotation / mirror operation   Origin: X: 0 1 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0   Angle (degrees): 90 0 0 0   Multiplication: 0.7071 0.7071 0 0   Rotate (R) / mirror (M): R R R R Translation   Distance: X: 0 0 0 0   Y: 0 0 0 0
