- MANDELBROT'S SET PLOTTER
-
- APRIL 15, 1989
-
- With menu selection and mouse drive ( if mouse is available),
- you can plot the Mandelbrot's set in any part of the parameter space
- easily.
-
- System requirement: EGA or VGA adapter.
-
- To run the program by typing
-
- mdl.exe
-
- You will see the menu selection on the screen. the selection
- can be made either with mouse or by keyboard. The menu functions

-
- NUM. OF X --(type x or X) change the horizotal number of points;
- it should be 400(default) or less.
- NUM. OF Y --(type y or Y) change the vertical number of points;
- it should be 300(default) or less.
- ITERATION --(type i or I) change the iteration number;

- For more reliable reason, when changing these three number, please
- end it with a decimal point.
- Example: if you want change the NUM. OF X from 400 to 200, type in
- "200.", i.e. using a decimal point to end a integer number.

- More words on ZOOM function:
- After you press your mouse at the box marked as ZOOM or type z ,
- move the cursor ( with mouse or by arrow key) to start point (x1,y1),
- and press the button of the mouse(with mouse) or press the ENTER key
- (without mouse) to mark the start position. Then move the cursor to
- ending position (x2,y2)[note: x2>x1 and y2<y1 i.e move at right and
- down direction] and mark it. Finally press CLR or type c to clear
- the screen, and the select START to ploting the graph in the selected
- window.
