This article describes an algorithm for generating fractals using polar coordinates. The classic Julie and Mandelbrot polynomial iteration applied to a complex number is replaced by a separate iteration for distance and angle. By varying the polynomial parameters of the iteration functions, a wide range of attractive images can be created. Distance and angle values are used to colorize fractal images.
