Definitions for "Fractint "
Fractint is a freeware fractal generator created for IBM PCs and compatible computers.
Fractint is a freeware open source software package that can render and display many kinds of fractals. Its name comes from the words fractal and integer, since the first versions of it computed fractals by using only integer arithmetic, which led to much faster rendering on x86 computers without math coprocessors. Since then, floating-point arithmetic and "arbitrary-precision" modes have been added, the latter of which emulates an arbitrarily large mantissa in RAM.
