Fractals in Python

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/danilobellini/fractal.svg?branch=master :target: https://travis-ci.org/danilobellini/fractal

Repository with Python code that renders fractals, compatible with both Python 2.7 and 3.2+, showing and saving files with Matplotlib.

For more information about the maths used for fractals (as well as its history), see the Wikipedia pages about the
