Mandelbrot

Repository for visualising Mandelbrot and Julia sets

Features

Customisable visualisation of Mandelbrot and Julia sets
Zoom in and out with left/right click
Optional MPI support (Runs much faster on multiple processes)
Customisable zoom rate
Jump to specified zoom level
Customisable colour mapping
Basic runscript provided
- Simple interface if desired

Requirements

Python modules may be as usual installed with pip install -r {requirements_file}
Will run with the modules in minimal_requirements.txt
- No change required
To run with MPI, require
- a working MPI implementation supporting MPI-3
  - eg. OpenMPI
- mpi4py (included in mpi_requirements.txt)

Usage

May be called without MPI using

python3 run.py mandelbrot

or

python3 run.py julia -c {real_c} {imag_c}.

The c value is optional in both cases and will be randomised for the Julia set if not provided.
If running on multiple processes, simply prepend the above with the appropriate MPI syntax
- eg mpiexec -np {num_proc} with OpenMPI
Customisation possible through parameters.yml
