Welcome to one of the best collections of computer generated images based on vector automata and cellular automata ever developed! Images created with Expansions: A Stokes Pattern Generator and Color Expansions. Any exceptions noted within the commentary associated with each image.

Note: This Gallery was originally posted on the web in 1996 and then restored in 2001 with only a few modifications. These images were created back in the days when computers were slow and screen sizes were small!
