A new feature has been added to the site, the Fractal Image Index. This is a one page list of links for all those images which are at least 40,000 pixels (200x200) in size.

This blog describes the progress of the qkxyq.com web site holding thousands, or is it millions?, of images of computer generated art constructed using mathematical algorithms relating to the creation of fractal sets.

The site was begun 3 years ago. (Although the history of qkxyq.com as a web site doing other things goes back further than this.) From some time in October 2007 work on the site was stopped and did not resume until June 2009. Since then a lot of work has been accomplished but there is still a lot more to do.

There are now over 2500 image files (in a custom format) on the site. Each image file  can produce innumerable PNG files with different colour schemes - that is where the 'millions' comes in. GIF and JPEG files can also be produced. These are the files you see on the web pages.
