This visualization shows a fractal tree created through recursive branching, where each branch splits into two smaller branches at a fixed angle. Starting from the bottom center of the canvas, the tree extends upward with each iteration reducing the branch length by a factor of 0.67. The code uses the Svelte framework with SVG rendering, employing D3's `path` API to construct the complete branching structure as a single path element. The recursion continues until branch lengths fall below 2 pixels, resulting in a detailed, self-similar structure displayed with white strokes against a dark background.

Fractal Tree (Canvas)

A fractal tree unfolds recursively on a canvas, with each branch splitting into two shorter, angled offshoots until it reaches a fixed depth. The tree remains static, but the canvas re-renders through a custom Svelte context system, where drawing functions register and invalidate frames via `requestAnimationFrame`. The example uses the Canvas 2D API for all drawing, with recursive `branch` calls handling rotation, translation, and stroke paths to create the organic, geometric structure.

fractal

This interactive SVG visualization generates a branching tree fractal composed of circles. Mouse position controls the number of recursive iterations (left-right) and the branch angle (up-down). The code builds a fractal structure recursively, then renders it by updating SVG `<circle>` elements using D3 v4’s selectors and data-merging API. A text element displays the live count of circle elements, illustrating how animation lag increases with element count. The example highlights the performance limits of SVG rendering at scale.

fractal tree d3

This example shows a procedurally generated fractal tree built from branching line segments, rendered as an animated SVG with a color gradient from black to purple based on depth. The code uses a recursive `branch()` function with randomness in angle and length to create organic variation, then draws each branch as a `<line>` element via D3’s data join. Hovering highlights parent branches in green, and the tree regenerates on click. It uses D3 v3 (via an external script) and D3 v7 (from `index.js`) for selection, transitions, and color scaling.

fractal

This visualization renders an interactive tree fractal using nested SVG circles. It shows how mouse position controls branch angle and iteration depth, with the total count of rendered circle elements displayed at the bottom. As the mouse moves, the fractal regenerates in real time, offering a tangible sense of SVG performance limits when element counts grow large. The code uses D3.js v4 with selections and data joins to manage circle updates, while a recursive function calculates each circle’s position and radius.

fractal

This example shows an interactive tree fractal that branches recursively into hundreds of thousands of circles, with the mouse position controlling the number of branches and their angle. The visualization responds to mouse movement by recalculating the fractal structure and re-rendering the SVG circles. The code uses D3 v4’s `selectAll` and `data` binding with an enter/merge pattern, but omits the `exit()` call, leaving obsolete circles in the DOM. Rendering relies on SVG `circle` elements positioned via `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes.

fractal

A procedural tree fractal animates in real time as the mouse position dictates both branch angle and recursion depth. The visualization displays up to thousands of overlapping, randomly colored circles, with an on-screen counter revealing the exact number of SVG elements being rendered. Built with D3 v4, the `fractal()` function recursively computes circle positions while the `mousemove` event triggers a full redraw. This interactive example visually demonstrates how SVG rendering performance degrades as element counts increase, making the lag tangible to the user.

fractal

An interactive fractal tree of circles responds to mouse position, with cursor X controlling recursion depth and Y controlling branch angle. The SVG is rendered using D3 v4’s data join, where each node is drawn as a circle whose radius shrinks by a fixed scale factor per level. The fractal recursively branches when the depth modulo 11 equals zero, flipping the angle sign to create alternating asymmetry. The code uses `svg.selectAll("circle").data()`, `.enter()`, and `.exit().remove()` to update the visualization live on every `mousemove` event.

Tree Fractal

This interactive visualization renders a branching tree fractal on an HTML5 Canvas. Mouse movement dynamically changes the branch length ratio and angle difference, altering the tree's shape in real time. The code uses the Canvas API’s `getContext('2d')`, `moveTo`, `lineTo`, and `stroke` methods to draw recursive branches. The tree structure emerges from a recursive `drawTree` function that splits into left and right branches until reaching a depth of zero, with each branch’s length and angle determined by cursor position.
