Title: Mapping out the Mandelbrot Post by: twinbee on June 24, 2010, 01:08:20 AM I wonder if there exists a more complete mapping of area names for the Mandelbrot set than this one at Miqel.com. Some nice images too (though obviously an exhaustive, or even moderately representational collection is going to be extremely difficult!)

Perhaps he should add a section with combinations of the various types of patterns. This was something I used to do many eons ago - tyr and combine spirals with double spirels and spikey bits etc. Allways seems to end up a bit of a mess though...

Title: Re: Mapping out the Mandelbrot Post by: zapranoth on August 11, 2010, 12:11:18 AM this may be a dumb question but, why was the bottom half of the Mandel not described? ive also noticed most people favor the upper half of the Mandel when they go searching where as ive always favored the bottom (insert joke about sexual orientation here)
Title: Re: Mapping out the Mandelbrot Post by: cKleinhuis on August 11, 2010, 12:39:19 AM it is because the mandelbrot is symetrical on the x axis ;) this was/is used for rendering optimizations :D, e.g. fractint uses this technique |
