DESCRIPTION

14       gnofract4d is a free, open source program which allows anyone to create
15       beautiful images called fractals. The images are automatically  created
16       by  the  computer  based  on mathematical principles. These include the
17       Mandelbrot and Julia sets and many more. You don't need to do any math:
18       you can explore a universe of images just using a mouse.
