Each of the designs created with this applet are based on the location of four coloured dots and their relation to each other. The applet generates the shapes through a recursive fractal function that recreates a scaled copy of the original four dots, but with a newly drawn dot as it’s center. Each time it creates a new dot, it has to make four more, until the radius of the dots reaches below 10. If the minimum radius is reduced, it will make a much more complex pattern, however the generation time increases dramatically.
