PathFractalize Node
PathFractalize fractalizes a polyline using a mid-point displacement algorithm. The procedure involves iteratively modifying the polyline's geometry to increase its complexity, mimicking fractal characteristics.

Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | Path | Input path. |
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| output | Path | Output path. |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Iterations | Integer | Number of mid-point displacement iterations. |
| Orientation | Integer | Displacement orientation (0 for random inward/outward displacement, 1 to inflate the path and -1 to deflate the path). |
| Persistence | Float | The amplitude scaling factor for subsequent noise octaves. Lower values reduce the contribution of higher octaves. |
| Remove Geometric Loops | Bool | No description |
| Random Seed | Random seed number | Random seed number. The random seed is an offset to the randomized process. A different seed will produce a new result. |
| Sigma | Float | Half-width of the random Gaussian displacement, normalized by the distance between points. |
