Chaoscope
http://www.chaoscope.org/
Chaoscope is a 3D strange attractors rendering software.
It is an ongoing project ; the current version is 0.2.1.
It is a freeware running on the Windows™ platform.
30/07/04 : 0.2.1
==============
FIXES
- Incorrect angle gradient coloring for Lorenz/Lorenz-84 with low dT
- Setting Gamma, Opacity or Roughness to 0 crashed the program
24/05/04 : 0.2
==============
NEW FEATURES
- Lorenz-84 equation was added
- Inverse Julia quaternion equation was added
- IFS Parameters are now transformations rather than matrix
coefficients
- User can set number of IFS matrices (from 2 to 8)
- User can set order of Polynomial Sprott equation (from 2 to 5)
- Subpixel precision for parameter sliders
- Variable search randomness (from 1% to 100%)
- User can choose which parameters will be randomized during
Attractor search
- Search for attractor can be stopped (Shift + F3)
- Speed and angle gradients can be modified by loading FractINT
.map files (double-click on gradient)
- Rendered view can be copied to the Clipboard
- Ctrl + left mouse button view zoom
- File format for parameters changed, extension is now ".csattr",
attractor type automatically detected
FIXES
- Property palette combo box buttons were allocating a bitmap object
on every drawing request
- Enumerated properties (using a combo box control) were crashing
application on quitting
- Scale property wasn't updated when the view was adjusted (F6)
- Property separator wasn't redrawn when the property had the focus
- Property list custom bevel style was corrupting scroll bar
refreshing
- Maximised MDI window vertical position was incorrect on Windows XP
- "Load..." menu item is now disabled until a project is created
- Parameters are no longer truncated at the sixth decimal
- The Icon Degree parameter wasn't loaded when using the
French interface
- IFS random walk was different from one render to another,
causing the preview to be jerky when the sliders were used
- Status bar is cleared when attractor or the rendering mode
is changed
- AM/PM indicator removed from the "time left" counter
(time format global setting was used)
- Solid mode rendering shadows weren't projected correctly
- Attractors of dimension 0 (single point) were triggering a
SING error during search
- View wasn't cleared when no attractor was found after a while
MISCELLANEOUS
- Property palette combo box buttons are not hand-drawn anymore
- Image data transfer memory allocation was optimised
- About box with link to the website
- Adjusting and centering is now followed by a quick render
- Sloppy code clean-up/optimisation
- Text properties don't beep anymore when user presses Return key
- Solid mode default (and only) light setup was changed
- Rendering is done in a separate thread, now more
multitasking-friendly
- User can set interface language during first launch
22/08/03 : 0.1
==============
First public release.
