Mandelbrot and Julia Sets Description

A free Mandelbrot and Julia set plotter written in Java Mandelbrot and Julia Sets is a free software that plots Mandelbrot and Julia sets. The top half is used to plot the Mandelbrot Set for f(z) = z2 - L, while the bottom half is used to plot the Julia sets for values of L selected from the Mandelbrot set plotted in the top panel. Note that, as the mouse pointer hovers over the panels used to display the graphs, it changes to a crosshair, and the text underneath the panel changes to indicate the point in the complex number plane upon which the crosshair is centered. Also note that, the tighter the field of view, the greater the number of decimal points used in specifying the coordinates. Instructions:You can choose from one of several actions to be taken when clicking on a point within one of the panes:· Center: Center view on the point on which the mouse is clicked.· Zoom in: Zoom in, or narrow field of view, on the point on which the mouse is clicked, magnifying by the specified zoom factor.· Zoom out: Zoom out, or widen the field of view, on the point on which the mouse is clicked, multiplying the length of the square field viewed by the specified zoom factor.· Plot Corresponding Julia Set: For the Mandelbrot Set graph only, plot the Julia set, in the Julia Set section, with the value of L equal to the logical coordinates of the point on which the mouse is clicked in the Mandelbrot Set graph.There are two numeric values that can be adjusted for each graph:· Zoom factor: This is the amount by which the scale of the graph is to be multiplied or dividend when zooming in or out.· # iterations: This is the maximum number of iterations of the function that will be performed on each point, using the escape time algorithm, before assuming that a point is in the set. See my main Mandelbrot and Julia Set page for a basic explanation of the algorithm. Along with this item, there is a check box for choosing whether or not to Auto-adjust # iterations, such that the number of iterations automatically increases when zooming in, and decreases when zooming out, subject to minimum and maximum value constraints. Requirements: · Java 1.2 or later
