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? ;-)

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.
Best Regards,
Mike C. et al

So do you, IIRC. ;-)
Regardless, I'm sure you'll agree that writing a thing yourself is often
much easier than trying to understand a large and complicated existing
codebase. (Especially if what you're trying to make works in a markedly
different way.) Mandelbrot generators are not exactly complex
contraptions...

Ah yes, the "icecream spiral". (So-called because its colours remind me
of various flavours of icecream. Yellow = vanilla, red = strawberry,
green = peppermint, blue = OMG, I'm going mad!) Also looks good on a
T-shirt.
<advert> Also, the image is rendered at 48 megapixels, so even if you
buy a poster that's 6 *feet* wide, it'll still print every tiny detail
at full 100dpi resolution. ;-) </advert> If I ever make enough sales,
maybe I can buy one of my posters to put on... a wall. LOL!

Ooo, you're hearing voices too? :-)

Ah, yes. The sharp spikey bits are due to the exponential behaviour of
the trigonometric sine function along the imaginary axis.
^ GEEK.
