This utility lets you draw cool and frosty ice fractals. You are offered five customizable variants of this fractal – two single spike forms, one double spike form, and two bent forms. Each of these types differ by the recursive segment generator (motif). Each of these ice fractals can be configured to evolve from any size regular polygon and you can adjust the number of recursive replacements (iterations). For each fractal type, you can also customize their mode – set the reverse mode that uses a mirror copy of the motif or the inverse mode that uses an upside down motif. To change the snowflake and polygon size, you can adjust the canvas size and padding. To draw a colorful fractal, you can select colors for the background and spikes. You can also change the fractal's orientation and adjust the motif line thickness. Fun fact – the frosty fractal is the most popular fractal found in nature as that's how snowflakes freeze.

This online browser-based tool illustrates the unique icy fractal. The icy fractal, also known as the arctic fractal is a self-similar fractal, based on a simple geometric base shape and a simple generating motif. The base shape can be any n-sided polygon, a pair of lines, or a single line. There are five types of generating motif – single spike, double spike, long single spike, bent single spike and bent double spike form (and two options to customize them via reverse and inverse operations). The fractal starts with a regular polygon and at each next iteration stage, each edge is replaced by the motif. Depending on the status of the inverse mode, you can get polygonal or anti-polygonal fractals, and depending on the status of the reverse mode, you can get symmetrical polygonal fractals. The simple operation of replacing an edge with a spike motif closely resembles fern frost and snowflake formation. Mind blowing and ingenious at the same time, or as we love to say – fractabulous!

In this example, we generate the single spike form fractal based on an equilateral triangle. We set the inverse mode to true and as a result, we get an anti-triangular frosty fractal. We make 7 recursive motif replacements on a 600x600 pixels canvas, with a line width of 3 pixels and a padding of 20 pixels.
This example uses the double spike generator on a square base. As one of the spikes is pointing inside the square and the other spike is pointing outside the square, we get a symmetric square with icy spikes pointing in all directions around the square. It draws a white curve for six iterative steps on a navy blue canvas with the size of 800x800 pixels.
In this example, we've selected the third form that uses a single long ice needle as the generator. It creates a frigid stellar anti-dendrite fractal based on a pentagon. The long single spike motif is very similar to the single spike motif but it's 2 times longer. As a result, we get a completely different fractal. We draw the 5th recursive step on a pompadour color canvas.
In this example, we've set the ice fractal on fire. This fractal uses fiery colors and is generated from a single bent spike motif on a triangular base. The spike emerges from the generator at an angle of 90 degrees and then bends again at 45 degrees. We draw the reverse and inverse form at the fourth iteration stage, using a 5-pixel thick flaming line.
In this example, we set the hexagon ice crystal as a base and generate the hexaice fractal using the double-bent spike motif. In this case, the ice needles grow to both sides of the line segment (this is why we get the crystal forming inside and outside of the hexagon) and they both bend at 45 degrees but in opposite directions. We use a large canvas of 1000x1000 pixels, and create 5 recursive replacements with a yellow color generator line on a black background.
In this example, we iterate the glacial fractal from a triangle and a bent spike. As the spike is pointing outwards the glacial ice also expands outwards. We run 5 iterations of the algorithm and draw this fractal on an ultramarine color background with the size of 600px by 600px.
This example demonstrates that the base figure can also be a single-dimensional line. In this case, we get an ice dam fractal that grows from the top down. We're using 0-pixel padding so the initial line is at the very top of the drawing and the longest ice crystal grows to the bottom of the drawing.
