Fractals can be generated through various methods including iterated function systems (IFS), strange attractors, L-systems, escape-time fractals, and random fractals. Each method utilizes different mathematical principles and can produce complex and unpredictable patterns. Examples include the Koch snowflake, Mandelbrot set, and fractal landscapes.

Images of fractals can be created by fractal generating programs.

Because of the
butterfly effect, a small change in a single variable can have an unpredictable
outcome.

Iterated function systems (IFS) – use fixed geometric replacement rules; may be
stochastic or deterministic;[42] e.g., Koch snowflake, Cantor set, Haferman carpet,
[43] Sierpinski carpet, Sierpinski gasket, Peano curve, Harter-Heighway dragon
curve, T-square, Menger sponge
Strange attractors – use iterations of a map or solutions of a system of initial-
value differential or difference equations that exhibit chaos (e.g., see
multifractal image, or the logistic map)
L-systems – use string rewriting; may resemble branching patterns, such as in
plants, biological cells (e.g., neurons and immune system cells[18]), blood
vessels, pulmonary structure,[44] etc. or turtle graphics patterns such as space-
filling curves and tilings
Escape-time fractals – use a formula or recurrence relation at each point in a
space (such as the complex plane); usually quasi-self-similar; also known as
"orbit" fractals; e.g., the Mandelbrot set, Julia set, Burning Ship fractal, Nova
fractal and Lyapunov fractal. The 2d vector fields that are generated by one or two
iterations of escape-time formulae also give rise to a fractal form when points (or
pixel data) are passed through this field repeatedly.
Random fractals – use stochastic rules; e.g., Lévy flight, percolation clusters,
self avoiding walks, fractal landscapes, trajectories of Brownian motion and the
Brownian tree (i.e., dendritic fractals generated by modeling diffusion-limited
aggregation or reaction-limited aggregation clusters).[4]
