Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around generating high-resolution images of the Mandelbrot set, focusing on coding techniques and experiences related to creating fractal images. Participants share their programming experiences and suggest resources for implementing the Mandelbrot set in various programming languages.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about code for generating high-resolution images of the Mandelbrot set suitable for zooming.
  • Another participant mentions that algorithms exist for building the Mandelbrot set, but implementation varies by programming language, suggesting searching for language-specific resources.
  • A participant reflects on their past experiences coding Mandelbrot set programs in the 1980s, noting the enjoyment derived from the slower rendering times on older computers.
  • Another participant shares their recent experience creating a Mandelbrot set program in Matlab, reporting a faster rendering time compared to their earlier experiences.
  • A participant provides a link to a mixed resource related to the Mandelbrot set.
  • One participant indicates they successfully managed to create a Mandelbrot set image.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the existence of algorithms for generating the Mandelbrot set and share personal experiences, but there is no consensus on a specific code or method for achieving high-resolution images.

Contextual Notes

Some discussions reference the variability in programming languages and the subjective enjoyment of different rendering speeds, which may depend on individual preferences and experiences.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in fractals, programming, and computer graphics may find the shared experiences and resources beneficial for their own projects.

Is there a code for the mandelbrot set that creates an image with an high resolution so that we can zoom and see the fractal over and over again ?
 
Technology news on Phys.org
There is an algorithm that builds the mandelbrot set, but the actual keystrokes and commands are different in various programming languages. Look up 'how to make the mandelbrot set in X language', where X is your programming language of choice.
 
Thanks for the memory. I wrote several such programs in the 80s and had great fun watching them evolve on the screen. It took about 15 minutes per frame, and it was one of the rare cases when slower computers were more fun than fast ones.

A quick google search of "mandelbrot python" returned many hits.

I made a small program in Matlab a few months ago that drew the Mandelbrot set. It took about 15 seconds. To make 5 frames. :biggrin:
 
Okay I manage to do it.
