Multifractals

Unequal Probabilities

With equal probabilities, the Random Algorithm for the IFS with these rules

T3(x, y) = (x/2, y/2) + (0, 1/2) T4(x, y) = (x/2, y/2) + (1/2, 1/2)
T1(x, y) = (x/2, y/2) T2(x, y) = (x/2, y/2) + (1/2, 0)

fills in the unit square uniformly.

The pictures below were generated with these probabilities

p1 = 0.1, p2 = p3 = p4 = 0.3.

Successive pictures show increments of 25000 points. With enough patience, the whole square will fill in, but some regions fill in more quickly than others.
