Continuous (smooth) coloring

Hi. Thx for new item.

• Can you add the code to the wikibooks ?
• As I know continues escape time uses low ierations ? Is it true in your version ?
• Can you write more about gradients ?

Hi. There appears to be an error in the first formula for the normalized iteration count algorithm. It should be n + ( ln(ln(B)) - ln(ln(|z|)) ) / ln(P). See the original paper.

Also, the 2nd formula is not equivalent to the first for P and B == 2. The first formula is designed to match up with the colors from discrete iteration count algorithms, while the second is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.147.134.2 (talk) 20:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Sources for "Other Properties"?

I've noticed that there is a substantial lack of sources for the majority of the "Other Properties" section on this page, and was wondering if there was a reason for it. Would it be reasonable to request that a source (or sources) for the information in that section be provided? AtramentousAmaranth (talk) 12:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

formal definition

Why is here critical point not equal to zero ? I t should be zero !!!!--Adam majewski (talk) 10:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

This was an incorrect edit by Cyclone231 - I have fixed it. Gandalf61 (talk) 17:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

smoothing

"Note that this new equation is simpler than the first, but it only works for Mandelbrot set's with a bailout radius of 2 and a power of 2." I dont know about Mathematics too much, but I think the bailout radius of the formula should be e, not 2.--Luzi82 (talk) 16:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

for programmers

There are many change in code. Evrey change is intresting and I think that should be described. Maybe in wikibooks.--Adam majewski (talk) 12:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a wikibook about fractals, where pseudocode is encouraged! Paxinum (talk) 07:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

so please add coomment to this book if you are making changes (:-))--Adam majewski (talk) 09:10, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

External Link

what about linking http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickman ? it's an open source mandlebrot set generator 151.57.77.203 (talk) 22:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Or this: Fractalizer Freeware Fraktal Program for Microsoft WindowsTurm (talk) 08:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

How about this: Mandelbrot set explorer, a Java applet for Mandelbrot set generator and explorer for educational material, and is an open source program. This applet has been accepted some textbooks and journals. --219.187.59.138 (talk) 16:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I think that

The Mandelbrot and Julia sets Anatomy by Evgeny Demidov is better and also open source. --Adam majewski (talk) 07:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Another External Link

I, Theta4, wanted to know if i could link to the wallpapers page on my website. As of April 30th, 2008, all of the wallpapers are from either the Mandelbrot Set or the Burning Ship Fractal. I'm going to come out and say that I'm doing this primarily because I really want some publicity on my website. I won't get very far telling kids at my school as most of the kids there don't appreciate or know what the Mandelbrot Set and family is. Also, a simple search for 'mandelbrot set wallpapers' on google isn't too helpful. There are some nice pictures that are wallpaper size, but they don't look too good as a wallpaper in my opinion. Keep in mind that I am in no way an expert on the subject of Mandelbrot Set imagery. I know my way around the set and understand both its mathematical and programmatic construction, but I can't compare to the expertise of whoever created that zoom sequence. Talk about digression!

Please read WP:NOT and WP:SPAM and WP:EL, those should answer your question.TheRingess (talk) 03:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Figures. Oh well.
