Fractal:SDK is a software development kit that lets you alter and extend the functionality of the core Fractal Map components provided by Fractal:Edge, and embed them fully inside your applications.

Fractal:SDK requires a PC running Windows NT, 2000 or XP and access to relevant data sources. The minimum hardware requirements are: MB RAM Note: For large project data sources (> 10,000 items), a significantly faster processor and more RAM may be required to ensure satisfactory performance.

Fractal:SDK allows you to integrate Fractal Maps tightly with your proprietary business applications and processes to add customer value and provide competitive differentiation.

No, Fractal:SDK is typically licensed via a one-off payment ensuring low ongoing cost of ownership. It is easy to install and work with so new users can get up and running within minutes with minimal IT support and little or no impact on the IT infrastructure.

In the unlikely event you want to stop using Fractal:SDK, or if you wish to clear your system before installing a newer version of the product, you can uninstall the application by selecting "Uninstall Fractal Intelligence" from your Start Menu (by default Program Files -> Fractal:Edge -> Fractal SDK -> Uninstall Fractal SDK), or by using Window's Add/Remove Programs feature in the Control Panel.

Fractal:SDK can be used to create data adapters for almost any data source, and supports a wide range of enterprise data sources via Fractal:Edge's set of standards-based data adapters, allowing quick and easy configuration 'out-of-the-box'. Please see the section on Data Adapters for more information.

Yes, Fractal:SDK can combine information from several different data sources simultaneously and 'on-the-fly' if necessary.

This depends on the complexity of the component, but for instance we would expect a new data adapter to take about a day to prototype and a few days to refine.

Yes, you can alter or extend the behavior of both Fractal:Server and the C++ based web clients (currently Active-X for Internet Explorer only) with Fractal:SDK or embed Fractal Map display and data processing components into your own online applications.

Fractals are 'broken curves'. They are a class of geometry that has been defined and popularized through the efforts of Benoit Mandelbrot and many others. They break into two main geometric types: deterministic; and random (chaotic). Random fractals are quite familiar and many look like random walks (Brownian motion); dendrites; or lightning bolts. Deterministic fractals take a 'motif' or 'generator' and apply it on successive size scales.

The SDK is the Software Development Kit. This together with the tutorial allows you to create your own Rbots level. This could be a brand new level you have created or an old level you wish to convert. Either way, the Rbot SDK is what you need.

A Software Development Kit (SDK) is supplied to third-party software developers and used by them to create applications. Symbian and Nokia both offer SDKs for Symbian OS. The Nokia SDKs are optimized for Nokia devices such as the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series.

Fractal:Server is a middleware layer that preprocesses data on the server allowing you to deliver up-to-date, personalized Fractal Maps to connected clients. Please see the Fractal:Server Product Sheet for more information.

If you wish to save a copy of the last fractal created, it is stored as a bitmap called Redecorator.bmp in your Windows folder. It is overwritten by each new image or fractal, so make a copy into a new folder before the next change is due.

An iteration is an application of the motif on a given size scale. Mathematicians usually refer to fractals as having n-iterations where n is taken to infinity. In fact, no graphic or physical representation of a fractal is capable of meeting this criteria. Physicists, computer scientists, and engineers have adopted the less constraining—and realistic—description of fractals as having a finite number of iterations.

Some aspects of nature are fractal, and others are not. The list of things that are NOT fractal includes light, which is made of elementary particles and has no substructure. Another example is the shape of leaves and outer foliage. These are typically nonreproductive and do not reveal self-similar substructure as do roots, stems, and other reproductive structures (although maple leaves and the entire fern family are exceptions, since their outer shapes are fractal).

You can publish maps (in a book, magazine, pdf, web page, etc) if they are your creative work, and not just a repackaging of the mapper's art or examples. The main thing we're concerned about when it comes to publishing is maintaining the copyrights on our art (mapping symbols). Here's some examples to clarify what's considered acceptable and not: Publish a continent map made with The Fractal Mapper, which features a continent, rivers, city markers, and makes use of mapping symbols.
