The graphics below were all created using the Kaleider program. Click on an image to show a larger version with some explanation of the type of effect rendered. The Rooms page also exhibits several Kaleider patterns as they appear transformed into 3D perspectives by the Rooms option. Also see Mandalas. Several examples of composite Pattern Combo images can be viewed on that page. (Viewing these still images cannot really convey the mesmerizing effect of seeing randomly generated graphics set into motion through the Wandering and Roaming features, optionally accompanied by music!)
