XaoS

====



XaoS (pronounced *chaos*) is a realtime interactive fractal zoomer. This

means that it lets you zoom smoothly into any place in the fractal you

choose without the long calculation required by other fractal generators.

It has many other features too, like different fractal types, autopilot,

special coloring modes, random palette generation, color cycling, etc.



XaoS (since version 4.3, September 2023) is available as a full-featured web application as well.

You can try it at [xaos.app](https://xaos.app).

Also, you can try a simplified version of the XaoS zooming algorithm online using

[XaoS.js](https://xaos-project.github.io/XaoSjs/).



XaoS is based on [Qt](http://www.qt.io), and has been tested on Windows, Mac and Linux. It

should also work on any other platform supporting Qt Widgets, like the BSDs.

Bugs and Support

----------------



XaoS is a community-supported free software project. The Google Group provides

a place for XaoS users to help each other get the most out of XaoS. XaoS

developers also monitor this discussion and answer questions from time to time.

You can browse the archives freely but to prevent spam, you must join the group

in order to post. Google Groups provides options for participation from a

traditional mailing list to a completely web-based forum, so you don’t have to

get emails if you don’t want to.



If you think you have found a bug in XaoS or have an idea for a new feature,

please let us know about it. XaoS is developed on a volunteer basis and the

developers work on it in their spare time. Therefore, we can’t guarantee that

issues will be addressed in a certain timeframe. If you are able to fix a bug

or implement a new feature yourself, pull requests are very welcome.
