Identifrac reloaded


By Gerd Riesselmann - Posted on 22 March 2010

Maybe you know identicons: little unique icons generated out of hash values. But maybe you don't know identifracs, which offer the same functionality based upon fractal functions. Identifrac was created back in 2007 by Jesse Dubay, but his site has gone in the meantime. That's why I took his code, updated it, and now released it to the open domain.

The original source can still be found at archive.org, so that is were I started. I then created a class out of it and modified it to create more colorful images.

You may download the class here, documentation is available at the Gyro-PHP site.

And finally some examples of identifracs:
