GENERATING RANDOM FRACTAL TERRAINTHE WITH OPENGL TECHNOLOGY

摘要

This paper introduces a "Diamond-Square Algorithm" means to generate the fractal terrain. As the base of it, the self-similarity theory is simply explained. In order to vividly represent the result, OpenGL technology is chosen to program. OpenGL (Open Graphic Language) is very good tool of 3D graphic, and it is well compatible with Microsoft Visual C++, an excellent program tool. Combining these technologies, we can describe every thing and phenomena factually.
