This interactive Sierpinski triangle fractal renders recursively to a canvas, with its recursion depth controlled by the mouse’s horizontal position. The visualization shows how a geometric fractal pattern changes complexity as the mouse moves from left (shallow depth) to right (deeper recursion). The code uses the Canvas API’s `clearRect`, `beginPath`, and `fill` methods to draw triangles, and scales the canvas dimensions by `window.devicePixelRatio` for high-resolution displays. The fractal is generated from a fixed initial triangle with depth up to 10 based on mouse X position.

Sierpinski Triangle Example

This example shows a Sierpinski triangle fractal rendered as an interactive tree-like structure on a Canvas element. The fractal is drawn with recursive triangle subdivision, and the branching depth changes dynamically based on the mouse position. The code uses the Canvas 2D API with `beginPath`, `moveTo`, `lineTo`, and `fill` methods to draw triangles. It accommodates high pixel density displays by scaling the canvas resolution using `window.devicePixelRatio`. The mouse event listener recalculates the depth from the cursor's horizontal position, then clears and redraws the entire fractal.

Fork of Sierpinski Triangle

This interactive fractal displays a Sierpinski triangle that divides into recursively smaller subtriangles on an HTML5 Canvas. The branching depth changes dynamically based on mouse position, ranging from zero to ten subdivisions. The code uses the Canvas API’s `getContext` and `fill` methods, with `devicePixelRatio` to ensure sharp rendering on high-resolution displays. Moving the mouse horizontally triggers a `mousemove` event, recalculating depth and redrawing the triangle with `clearRect` and recursive function calls.

Fractal-Tree-Page

This interactive visualization displays a fractal tree that responds to mouse movement. The branching pattern changes dynamically as the user moves the cursor across the canvas. The code uses the Canvas API with high-resolution display support via `window.devicePixelRatio` and scaling. It draws recursive branches using trigonometric functions, with mouse position controlling the branch length ratio and angle difference. The tree is rendered in real-time using the `drawTree` recursive function and `stroke()` commands on the 2D context.

fractal

This interactive fractal experiment uses recursive circle drawing on an HTML5 Canvas to generate branching, tree-like structures. The visualization responds to mouse movement, with cursor position controlling the fractal’s scale, branch angle, and recursion depth. The code defines a `drawGeometry` function that recursively draws circles, translating and rotating the canvas context at each step, while a `flip` parameter alternates branch direction. Rendering is handled directly through the Canvas 2D API, with event listeners triggering redraws on mouse move. No external libraries are used, relying solely on native browser canvas methods like `ctx.arc`, `ctx.translate`, and `ctx.rotate`.

fractal tree

An interactive fractal tree responds to mouse movement, with branching angle and length ratio changing based on cursor position. The visualization renders a recursive binary tree structure using the Canvas 2D API, drawing line segments for 13 levels of branching. It accommodates high pixel density displays by scaling the canvas using the device pixel ratio. Mouse events trigger redraws that update branch thickness and divergence angles, creating a dynamic, explorable organic form without any external data source.

Tree Fractal

An interactive tree fractal drawn on a Canvas element responds to mouse movement, which controls branch length ratio and angle difference. The rendering uses raw Canvas API calls like `beginPath`, `lineTo`, and `stroke` to recursively draw branching lines to a depth of 11. High-resolution displays are supported via `window.devicePixelRatio` scaling. The example is based on HTML5 Examples and adapts its rendering for high pixel density screens.

Tree Fractal Example

An interactive tree fractal rendered on a Canvas element responds to mouse movement by altering branch length ratio and angle difference. The code uses the Canvas 2D API with `beginPath`, `lineTo`, and `stroke` to draw recursive branches up to a depth of 11. It accommodates high pixel density displays via `window.devicePixelRatio` and `c.scale`. Mouse position maps directly to the branching parameters, updating the tree in real time.

Tree Fractal with Randomness

This interactive tree fractal grows recursively from a trunk, splitting into branches whose length and angle change with mouse position. The Canvas API renders the structure, while a seeded pseudo-random number generator introduces stochastic variation, causing some branches to continue straight while others bifurcate. The drawing updates on mousemove events, with horizontal position controlling branch length ratio and vertical position adjusting angle difference. The code scales the canvas for high pixel density displays using devicePixelRatio.
