Generating the mandelbrot and julia fractals. Started in a personal project done 2011.

Compile using javac. Then run

java FraktalMain

Use set mode to choose between Mandelbrot and Julia. Use repaint to re-generate the graph.

Set the number of iterations to a lower value to make the graph generate faster, but with lower resolution.

The function f is defined as

f(z) = z ** 2 + c,

where c is a complex constant and z is a complex variable.

The color for each pixel z on the complex plane will be decided by the number x, where x is the first integer > 0 for which

f ** x (z) > max(|c|, 2),

where f ** x (z) means that f has been applied x times on the complex number z.

Please read about Mandelbrot set and Julia set on wikipedia for more info.
