Class DrawMandelbrot

java.lang.Object

eecs2030.lab3.DrawMandelbrot

public class DrawMandelbrot
extends Object

A simple program for drawing the Mandelbrot set. When run with the default settings the image is centered on the point (-0.5 + 0.0i), the length of the sides of the image is 2, and the number of iterations to check if a point remains bounded (i.e., is in the Mandelbrot set) is 50.

These values can be changed using command line arguments: In eclipse, go to the Run menu, choose Run configurations, find the Mandelbrot Java application, and in the Arguments tab enter a new set of values (separated by spaces). For example, enter the following four values to view Elephant Valley (view point (0.275 + 0.005i), side length 0.01, 200 iterations):

0.275 0.005 0.01 200
