In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. -Robert Frost

If you’ve heard of fractals before, you’ve probably seen Sierpinski triangles and fractals that look like ferns or leaves. This animation shows how these two pictures and various other fractals are linked. The pictures are generated using Iterated Function Systems, which take a starting point then repeatedly either rotate it about a point, or move it closer to another point. By changing the angle of the rotation, you get all these different pictures. In general this method can get you all kinds of cool fractals.
