NAME

Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode

SYNOPSIS

  use Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode;
  $fractal = new Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode;
  
  # Set the values of Math::Fractal::DLA
  $fractal->debug( debug => 1, logfile => FILE );
  .
  .
  $fractal->setColors(5);

  # Set the target point (center of the explosion)
  $self->setStartPosition ( x => X, y => Y );
  
  # Generate the fractal
  $fractal->generate();

  # Write the generated fractal to a file
  $fractal->writeFile();
    

DESCRIPTION

Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode is the implementation of a standard Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) fractal

OVERVIEW

The module Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode is the implementation of the most widely known type of DLA fractals. The fractal is created by single particles which move from an outter rectangle towards the target area. By hitting the area the particle becomes a part of the target area and the fractal grows.

METHODS

Math::Fractal::DLA::Explode extends the super class with two methods:

setStartPosition ( x => X, y => Y )

Sets the position where the fractal will start to grow

generate ( )

Generates the fractal
