Welcome to FWHEEL ... a little program I cooked up one night.
FWHEEL is a data file generator for the Persistance of Vision
(POVRAY) raytracer and the Vivid raytracer. FWHEEL is based on a
simple concept of repeating polygons subjected to similar
transformations. Basically, an n-sided polygon is created m-number
of times; each instance is rotated and reduced in such a way that the
vertices of the new polygon lie on the sides of the previous one.
Though not 100% (self)similar, this concept is somewhat like a
fractal - therefore the name "FWHEEL".
