What is Color Fractal Generator?

The fractals in this program are the result of pseudo code taken from Scientific American.  It creates fractals using either Mandelbrot, Julia, Dragon, or Random Walk algorithms.
    The Mandelbrot and Julia fractals are the fractals that most people have seen previously.  The Dragon fractal family is very similar to both Mandelbrot and Julia families.  In these fractals, the screen is a complex coordinate grid.  There is one constant complex number and one that varies.  Each pixel is assigned a color by an algorithm that determines the amount of iterations needed for the algorithm to reach an escape ("freedom") value.  A limit is placed on the iterations ("accuracy") which stops the calculation if it seems that the algorithm will never reach the freedom value.  The lower these freedom and accuracy values are set, the faster the fractals can be generated.
