This project focuses on the generation of basin boundary fractals using specific orbital data. It includes tools for creating detailed plots and videos to visualize these fractals.

• code/

  • example_figure_eight.ipynb: Notebook for generating fractal data based on the figure-eight orbit.
  • example_generate_plots.ipynb: Notebook for creating plots and compiling them into a video after data generation.
  • plot_utils.py: Utility functions dedicated to plotting.
  • utils.py: Utility functions for orbit integration and fractal generation.

• data/

  • periodic_3b_inits.json: JSON file containing initial conditions for some periodic three-body orbits.

This project uses the following Python packages:

• numpy: For numerical operations.
• numba: To accelerate Python functions.
• matplotlib: For creating plots and visualizations.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required packages using pip install numpy numba matplotlib.
3. Navigate to the code/ directory.
4. Run example_figure_eight.ipynb to generate the fractal data.
5. Execute example_generate_plots.ipynb to create plots and a video from the generated data.

Contributions to the project are welcome, specially regarding efficiency of the code. If you have suggestions or improvements, please open an issue or submit a pull request.
