[comp.sys.amiga] Fractal generation

blech@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Michael Blechner) (01/13/90)

I am looking for fractal software to generate (sorry 'bout the spelling)
Mandlebrot sets and to animate them if possible. What is the best and how do I
get it. I don't have access to any BBs from my Amiga so it must be by mail.
Thanx.mike.Please Email.

I presume by "animate" you mean view the set from several different points
in sequence, sort of a "fly-by".  There is a mandelbrot program on disk 303
of my library (to be released in the batch of 301-310 within the next week)
which has a batch mode, allowing you to compute many views of a set and write
each of them to an IFF file, all without any interaction.  You could then use
one of the standard animator programs to put them together, I suppose.
