To more thoroughly explore the Mandelbrot series
I've written some code that emulates , to so small
extent , what fractint does .
You can find this by firstly doing a Google search for maxima vtk , then
selecting the link that has the name riotorio , or similar , in it.
Once at that page select elevation grids , or similar , from that page
click upon the elsewhere
link. Upon the next page scroll down and you should see a plot , with
perspective , of the Mandelbrot set ; above this is the code I wrote to
generate this.
The code structure is fairly easy to comprehend and the function mandelB
has a resemblance to
a fractint formula.
The plot is easily rotated and zoomed into or out
from .
Maxima CAS is mostly a symbolic Computer Algebra System , this is the
feature I require.
