How to use

Just by typing $ mandelbrot will create an 1080p image of the mandelbrot set inside the directory you are currently in. You also have a number of options to choose from.

• $ mandelbrot -r 1440 will make the image have a width of 1440 pixels.
• $ mandelbrot --scale 1 will make the image a square. The default is 16/9
• $ mandelbrot -s 100 The depth which each point will check wether it is in the set or not.
• $ mandelbrot -c -0.745428 0.113009 -l 0.0001 Will center at x=-0.745428 y=0.113009, with the x axis having a total length of 0.0001
• $ mandelbrot -r 480 -v -f 350 -z 0.9 Will produce a video of resolution 480p, containing 350 frames (at 24fps) and each frame will reduce the x axis length to 0.9 times the previous. Since this code is running on Python, it is quite slow. A lower quality video is advised.

OLD PROJECT

This is one of many of my older projects which I have decided to turn it into a package and upload it to github.
