Mandelbrot-rs

Simple Mandelbrot fractal generator developped in Rust for training purposes.

Complete Mandelbrot set

Command (default coordinates): mandelbrot -s '(-0.25,0.0)' -w 4.5

For an UHD high quality version you can run this command: mandelbrot -r 7680x4320 -i 25000 -a 16 This command will take MUCH LONGER to run (34mn with a Ryzen 3900X), and will stress the CPU during all the process.

Near the "Valley of seahorses"

command: mandelbrot -s '(-0.75, 0.18)' -w 0.5

Requirements

One of:

• rustc compiler + cargo : Install instructions
• Docker (tested on 19.03.1-ce)

Build

git clone https://github.com/Xide/mandelbrot-rs.git
cd mandelbrot-rs

• With Cargo

cargo build --release
./target/release/mandelbrot --help

• With Docker

docker build -t mandelbrot .
docker run -it mandelbrot --help

Usage

# mandelbrot --help

# valley of seahorses example

## With binary
mandelbrot -r 1920x1080 -a 8 -i 5000 -o seahorses.png -s '(-0.75, 0.18)' -w 0.5

## With Docker
docker run -it sigbilly/mandelbrot:master -r 1920x1080 -a 8 -i 5000 -o seahorses.png -s '(-0.75, 0.18)' -w 0.5

Todo

• Optimization: cycle checking in divergence test
• Incremental / resumable fractal computation
• Interface: Dynamic exploration of the set
• Image: Add color methods / custom colors
• Cli: shortcuts for common resolutions
• Corresponding Julia set explorer ?
• Video generation ?
