Is There a Fractal Program for Mac That Can Generate Fractals from Drawings?

[Svensken]

Hello!

I am currently looking for a fractal program for my mac, preferably with free download :)
I want to be able to draw a pattern and the program compares this to a fractal that it can generate (hope that makes sense). I mean that instead of entering the complex number in say a julia set, one can make a drawing and the computer will tell me the most similar julia set to what i have drawn. This might not exist, but if anyone of you guys/girls know of one it would be greatly appreciated!

p.s If you know a general fractal program that works well on mac, i would like to know.

Thank you for your time!

I doubt it exists, and in fact it may be essentially impossible. Remember that fractals, by their nature, have very strong self-similarity at all scales. So any reasonable measure of similarity will not be differentiable or smooth at any scale regardless of how fine-grained you make your parameter space.
