I heard you wanted to draw the Mandelbrot Set...

...and then color it in by speed of divergence!

Real Min: Real Max: Max Iterations:
Imag Max: Imag Min: Color Scheme:

SOME NICE EXAMPLES (CLICK THE DESCRIPT'S TO RUN):

Ex. 1: A Real Dandy: Real:[-0.06259,-0.01571], Imag: [0.6944,0.66819], 75 iterations, Jet colorscheme.
Ex. 2: Mama's Favorite: Real:[-0.01679,0.00665], Imag: [0.6602,0.64459], 75 iterations, ???? colorscheme.
Ex. 3: The Great Equalizer: Real:[0.29366,0.38741], Imag: [0.60522,0.54302], 175 iterations, Jet-Backwards colorscheme.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

The Mandelbrot set is a set of complex number for which the iterator z(n+1) = z(n)^2 + c is bounded. In the image above, black values fail to converge, and are part of the set. Other colors diverge, and brighter colors diverge faster. The set forms a fractal, is self-similar, and has a lot of other cool properties

The canvas above is drawn the fly using HTML5 things.

TELL ME MORE!!??
