Draw your own fractal 2

I downloaded the Fractal.vi from Draw your own fractal from EFranz and I started playing with different UI options. I ended up changing the IMAQ Image for a 2D picture control (so that the Vision module is not required anymore) and adding an event structure, the Mandelbrot set, a zoom, and the ability to edit the palette using the color table generator.vi. The front panel is shown below.

Zooming in the different areas of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets can be fascinating. Enjoy.

Interesting pattern can be found by zooming various areas. Below is an example of a zoomed area of the Mandelbrot set.

And below is a Julia set using the default a and b parameters (need to zoom out and zoom in to get the full area):

When I commented 2 weeks ago on Draw your own fractal  I planned to do something you just did (more colors, zoom function etc.)

I didn't quite figure out, how to color the "inside" of the set properly, but YOU just took this piece of code to the next level!

I am looking forward to take a ccloser look at your vi

Thanks. The core of the calculations remained about the same. I used the code to test out a few user interface features (zoom, context menus,...).

I had played with the Mandelbrot and Julia sets back when I was an undergraduate. Now, with the calculations taking 10's or seconds instead 10's of minutes, it is easier to explore the sets.
