Of course … you can make a Mandelbrot set in 10 lines of codes and you can zoom almost infinitely, the only limit is the floating point precision. But that’s not the point here … i just wanted to generate a huge image to test HDView SL.

This is pretty, but honestly you’re using the wrong tool for the job. I thought there was a hiccup when in fact I had zoomed in all the way.

By definition, a fractal is quite a simple mathematical equation and thus should be able to be displayed without precomputing or prerending gigabytes (!) of actual image files.

a friend of mine made a program called Xaos about 15 years ago that in many respects is much more functional than this.

I don’t mean to disparage your work. You’ve certainly done something more than what I’m capable of

cheers,
Jeffrey

The plural for foot is feet. It is an Ablaut plural were it is formed by simply changing the vowel sound of the singular.

Nice graphic!

I came here from reddit. Must be cool but no way I’m going to install Silverlight to watch this.

Humm... I tried it with OpenZoom, which is a pretty close alternative in Flash but it was not as smooth.
