Mandelbrot Set
The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers c for which the iteration z ↦ z² + c does not diverge. Its boundary is a fractal of infinite complexity — zoom in to find the same structures repeating at every scale.
Colour encodes the escape speed of points outside the set. Increase max iterations to resolve finer detail near the boundary. Rendering uses the same algorithm as the original C implementation, including the cardioid and period-2 bulb optimisations.
Max iterations:256
cx = -0.60000000 cy = 0.00000000 scale = 1/256
