kalj / mandeldraw Goto Github PK

This program displays a pretty view of the Mandelbrot set and its surroundings.

------ Synopsis ------

mandeldraw [-v] [-a <level> ] [-i <iterations>]

       -v : Be verbose -- i.e. print maximum info output. (default)
       -q : Be quiet -- i.e. STFU.
       -a : Specifies the level of supersampling (0, 1, 2, 3).
            Note: This is the square root of the 2-logarithm of
            the number of points per pixel, i.e. l where (2^l)*(2^l)
            is the number of samples per pixel.
       -i : Specifies the initial number of iterations used.
       -h : Print this help.


------ Keys ------

In the program the following keys are defined:

    q   : 
    ESC : Quit the program
    w	 : Write the current view to the bitmap file 'mandelbrot.bmp' in the
      	   current working directory
    b	 : Benchmark. Jump to a predefined state.
    i	 : Increase the max-iterations base value.
    I	 : Decrease the max-iterations base value.
    a	 : Change the anti aliasing level (will launch a prompt).
