Title: A novel software application for interactive affine transformations of IFS fractals
Abstract: A novel interactive application created in the C\# programming language under the Microsoft Visual Studio environment will be presented. Its introduction, theoretical grounds and application will be given. The software application allows generating two-dimensional fractals defined by iterated function systems (IFS) and performing their arbitrary affine and some nonlinear transformations. These transformations are easily controllable and visible, done by dragging and dropping few predefined non-collinear control points. The affine transformations are enabled by assigning barycentric coordinates to the points that represent the image of the fractal attractor with respect to the control points and thus relating the fractal to the points. Besides this main purpose of our application, many other features are offered.
