Another fractal generator is now available as a Windows program. It was started as a trial to program the simple Mandelbrot set in assembler for personal use but eventually evolved in a study of the [fn(p)]^x+fn(c) functions. Numerous features are available, some based on suggestions from Paul N. Lee. - The functions are the usual trancendental ones; the integer powers from 2 to 6 are hard coded for optimum speed but any other power can be used. - Generates both Mandelbrot and Julia sets. - Extended double precision is used for all computations. Magnifications up to 10^17 in 640x480 are thus available for the basic Mandelbrot formula and somewhat lower for higher resolutions and/or for the more complex functions. - Runs with any screen resolution you set your computer to (640x480 minimum). - Option to run in full screen or partial screen mode (1/8 of screen dimensions minimum). In full screen mode, the Windows task bar will remain available if in auto-hide mode. - Uses any Fractint compatible 256-color map. - Option to generate to the HD as a bitmap file in any dimension. - Option to save the current window content as a bitmap image. - Zoom in and out with a click of a mouse button at the mouse cursor location according to the chosen zooming factor. - The computation of an interrupted fractal can be resumed. - Parameters can be saved and retrieved. If retrieved with a different screen resolution, the fractal will be generated according to a similar ratio. (The par files are NOT Fractint compatible). - Parameters can also be retrieved in a reduced window. - A saved parameter set can be modified later and saved either as a separate set or overwrite the former set. - Numerous other features and options too long to enumerate at this time. - Tested under Win98 and WinXP. - Extensive Help file provided in the zipped package. The program is freeware. If you are interested, you can get the package from the following (thanks to Paul N.
