Compare with

C source code

It is a console C program ( one file) It can be compiled under :

  • windows ( gcc thru Dev-C++ )
  • linux and mac using gcc :
gcc main.c -lm

it creates a.out file. Then run it :

./a.out

It creates ppm file in program directory. Use file viewer to see it.

 /* 
 c program:
  1. draws Mandelbrot set for Fc(z)=z*z +c
  using Madelbrot algorithm ( boolean escape time )
 -------------------------------         
 2. technic of creating ppm file is  based on the code of Claudio Rocchini
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Color_complex_plot.jpg
 create 24 bit color graphic file ,  portable pixmap file = PPM 
 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_pixmap
 to see the file use external application ( graphic viewer)
