| Description |
English:
The (strangely named) poisson saturne strange attractor has been visualized on the website Chaoscope.org since 2007. That image is on Wikimedia Commons as
File:Attractor Poisson Saturne.jpg
and is widely shared. Unfortunately, the image is only available in very low resolution (640x480 pixels), which limits its use severely. This independent visualization, using the same parameters for the dynamic system, tries to remedy this shortcoming by providing a much higher resolution (12800x9600 pixels). The hope is that this new image will be useful to gain a better understanding of the structure of the attractor and for decorative purposes.
The file is produced by a straightforward C program, running 10^11 iterations. Coloring is not the same as the previous image. In particular, it assigns different colors to the two separate components of the set (one yellow/green and one blue/magenta). This is also the first frame in File:Rotating 3D Attractor.webm , a video showing the same attractor rotating and giving further insights into this set. An adoption of the mentioned code, capable of rendering this image, is available . |
