mandelbrot-qt

Zooming into the Mandelbrot set using Qt and C++

A simple desktop application that draws the Mandelbot set and zooms into a predefined point. This is just a quick hack to learn Qt. There are much better Mandelbrot programs out threre.

Build and run from Qt Creator

• Install Qt.
• Start qtcreator
• Accept default configuration
• Build -> Build All
• Build -> Run

Build and run from shell

• cd ../build-mandelbrot-Desktop-Debug
• make ./mandelbrot

Change size, speed and precision

• The size of the graph can be changed here. Smaller is faster.
• The precision of the graph can be changed here. Lower precision is faster, but gives bad resolution for deep zooms.

The default values are small and slow, but gives a lot of detail in the deep zooms
