How do I "move" the mandelbrot zoom location? about fractal HOT 19 CLOSED

Brilliant! I even put it in my bot

from fractal.

I'll have to implement that, should be very easy, however I want a nice way of controlling this.

Sorry I've only noticed this now... 😕

from fractal.

I'll have a look tomorrow morning. 👌

Thanks!

@Chewsterchew, would you prefer to give your offset in traditional Cartesian form, or as a complex number?

from fractal.

Which would be easier?

from fractal.

It works now, with some nice places listed on http://www.cuug.ab.ca/dewara/mandelbrot/Mandelbrowser.html
Take the top two for example,

we can generate:

made with

fractal mandelbrot --offset=-0.7463,0.1102 --scale=0.005 --def=1000 -o=close_1.png

and

made with

fractal mandelbrot --offset=-0.7453,0.1127 --scale=6.5e-4 --def=1000 -o=close_2.png

Remeber, the deeper you go, the more you should increase your definition (--def=1500 for example)

from fractal.

@Chewsterchew They're both as easy, I just went for the more simplistic Cartesian formatting, just need a comma.

That's brilliant, how would you do it in colour?

from fractal.

Just add the --color=multi argument.

Just (re)download the gem by:

gem install fractal

@Chewsterchew you should be fine to use it now.

from fractal.

if they come out looking a bit bleak and washed, then you can decrease the def (num. of iterations per pixel) to give it a bit more colour and depth.

from fractal.

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Very cool!

@Chewsterchew made a 7000x7000 version of the second example, why not.

Nice! What command did you use to make that?

from fractal.

@Chewsterchew

fractal mandelbrot --offset=-0.7453,0.1127 --scale=6.5e-4 --def=300 -o=close_2.png --color=multi -w=7000 -h=7000

It took a good chunk of time.

from fractal.

Does look a bit washed, I think I set the def to 700

The image:

@Chewsterchew Very nice, def=700 must take a while, i think you should be fine with ca. 300 to be honest.

Like that you implemented that functionality to your discord bot!

from fractal.

Also, you might not need the image to be 1080, cut down on time maybe.
