Mandelbrot and Julia Set Explorer

The 1/mu parameter plane

For background on Julia and Mandelbrot sets, see the introduction. There is detailed help available for using this form. For more information on complex numbers, see Dave's Short Course on Complex Numbers. Also, check out the Applet to explore the Mandelbrot set.


Mandelbrot Set (in the 1/mu plane) :
x in [-4.24221693,1.54934580];
y in [-2.92373697,2.86782575].


Parameters

Clicks on the Mandelbrot set image will
get a Julia set
magnify the Mandelbrot set

Alternate parameter plane

Image magnification factor =
Image: width= by height= in pixels.
Maximum number of iterations=

Note that it may take a while to compute an image if you ask for a big image or a lot of iterations.
