You ever consider that something like this might be your way out of the 
pit you are in now ;-)

Seriously....

If you could find a way to get these items out there that's a little 
more profitable.


Just some thoughts ;-)

Heh. Even Gilles doesn't actually make a *living* out of his work. And 
*his* work kicks tail! ;-)

Nice idea though...

The Mandelbrot set, like the number Pi, pops up everywhere. But, unlike 
Pi, it's much more interesting! :-D

  Good luck trying to beat it, or even equal it at speed. Not impossible,
of course, but very, very laborious.

Raw rendering speed is not my primary priority.

[Have you noticed that sometimes you zoom in, and the adaptive rendering 
stops before the image has reached full detail? How annoying is that? 
Hopefully my tool won't have that limitation. Not to mention being able 
to actually edit the colours used, and have an unlimited number of them...]

I haven't tried Xaos myself, but I see that it's licensed under the GPL. 
Couldn't you just start with the Xaos source code and put in the 
functionality you speak of?

Oh wait, I guess you're doing your tool in Haskel...

I don't actually know, but I suspect Xaos is written in C.

How did you guess? ;-)

  He hates C.

I like February the best.  It contains interesting structures at several levels
of scale.  Also, I find the color pallet subtle and pleasing.

I understand wanting to create your own Mandelbrot tool whether you "beat" Xaos
or not. I hold firmly to the position that working with numbers for the sheer
fun of doing it is a perfectly sane and reasonable thing to do - and eight of
the ten "voices" agree with me.
