HALCYON GLAZE is a collection of libraries written in Java5, which address:

  • Arbitrary movement in multiscale
  • Visualization in multiscale
  • Tiling and multi-resolution image rendering

The author of these libraries is Brien Colwell, who began developing them for a fractal movie generator in his senior year at UC Berkeley.
