Mandelbrot Set

VERSION 2

Created on: Jun 17, 2009 4:30 PM by Steven Zittrower - Last Modified:  Jun 18, 2009 7:56 PM by TroyK

Introduction

This program creates the Mandelbrot set and colors it with a continous color (smoothing) algorithm. By default the iteration count is set to 50 and is colored with a 24-bit color gradient. The black section is the set of points in the complex plane. The edge forms a fractal (the complexity of this edge never simplifies regardless of the magnification level). The outside area is colored based on the number of iterations it takes to exclude the pixel from the Mandelbrot set.

Awesome, I love it. (My windows background is a zoomed in section of the Mandelbrot set fractal. Step12 in the link in your introduction.)

 

I hope you don't mind, I simplified the code a little, changed the way the picture updated and did a bit of manual tidying.

It updates much faster now. (Original took about 30seconds on my pc.)

See 'mandelbrot_lv82_2.vi'.

Thanks for updating it, I love the speed improvements. Based off your version of the code I may work on a version that will be able to be zoomable.

Your welcome! A zoom would be very cool. I wanted to suggest that but I forgot to add it to my previous comment.
