Mandelbrot Explorer Help
To explore the Mandelbrot click or touch the canvas and drag to select an area of the image. Then click Zoom to draw the selected area. You may also double-click to zoom in on a point. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move among previously rendered images.
Click Export to open the Mandelbrot as an image in a new browser window so you can save it as a PNG file.
Settings
- Left, Right, Top, Bottom: Bounds of the Mandelbrot area to draw
- Pan buttons: Moves the bounds by one half the width or height
- Reset button: Resets to the default bounds
- Square button: Adjusts the bounds to make it square
- Max iterations: Defines the max number of iterations to use in the algorithm. Higher numbers take longer but produce better results. The more you zoom in the higher this number should be.
- Suggest iterations: When checked it automatically updates the max iterations based on the bounds
- Color scheme: Select the color scheme used to draw the Mandelbrot
- Continuous color: When checked uses the continuous color algorithm for smooth color blending
- Canvas width and height: Determines the size of the drawing area
- Save button: Saves the current settings to a file.
- Browse button: Opens a file saved using the save button and imports the settings.
