- -------
- PocketIFS is a PocketC applet, and requires the PocketC runtime to work.
- The PocketC runtime is freely avaiable from http://www.orbworks.com/
- Once PocketC is installed simply upload PocketIFS.PDB to your handheld
- device, to run PocketIFS run PocketC then select PocketIFS and press
- "Execute".
-
- PocketIFS v0.3d was tested using PocketC v3.92
-
- Use (v0.3) +
- ------------
-
- This is an early version of PocketIFS which lets you play with
- IFS's, more information on IFS can be found on the web. This
- document briefly describes how to use the PocketIFS applet.
-
- 1) When PocketIFS starts you are presented with a licence alert.
- (Feel free to remove it for personal use, but it must be present
- if you distribute [copy & give to others] it).
- Press OK to continue.
-
- 2) You are now in 'draw' mode, click using the pen to define the corners
- of a shape, draw mode will be over once you have created a closed polygon.
-
- 3) Now you are in transform mode, which has 5 buttons at the top,
- from right to left they are:
-
- 1) Rotate.
- 2) Scale
- 3) Move.
- 4) Lock.
- 5) Happy.
-
- The first three are the three basic transformations that can be done,
- each stage starts on pen down, and ends on pen up.
-
- Whist the pen is down you deform (a copy of) the original shape,
- on the X and Y axis independently by moving the pen up & down,
- and left & right.
-
- You can lock XY for rotation and scale using the Lock icon.
-
- Once you are happy, select the happy face icon, which will confirm your
- selection. Once you have confirmed that you are finished you will be
- asked if you want Another, if you say yes you will be returned to
- transform mode with a new copy of the shape (and so create multiple
- transformations).
-
- Once you have created all the transformations you want (only do one first
- time, I've never usefully used more than 3) PocketIFS will draw your fractal
- by recursively applying the transformations.
-
- Enjoy!
