Al Howe About My Mandelbrot Set Pictures | ||
Many years ago I acquired an excellent program named The Beauty of Fractals Lab. It was for the Macintosh and I had a Mac at the time, so I used it to make many great pictures. Unfortunately that Mac died several years ago, taking the hard drive with it, and the full size images. Also, it is no longer supported. This part of my webpage showcases many of the pictures, at a reduced size (for the web 10 years ago), yet still fascinating. I have not yet found a comparable program for Windows. The most important feature for me is being able to set up my own color tables. One of my future goals is to wrote a Mandelbrot Set program that does everything I want it to. That would be great to overcome many of the limitations this program had implemented, such as a limit of 20,000 iterations, and images limited to 1500 pixels on a side. I just need to learn how to interface C++ with Windows. If I am ever able, all these images will be ugdated to immense size. |

Terms There are several terms I use when describing the Mandelbrot Set, and they are shown and displayed below. Sorry about the quality of the picture, but it should be easy to see what's going on. (The original was lost on the Mac, and this one was too small so I blew it up 150% and sharpened the edges.) The terms are described below.
