The julia program draws spinning, animating julia-set fractals.
It uses ifs {w0 = sqrt(x-c), w1 = -sqrt(x-c)} with random iteration
to plot the julia set, and sinusoidially varied parameters for the set,
and plots parameters with a circle.
One thing to note is that count is the depth of the search tree,
so the number of points computed is (2^count)-1. I use 8 or 9 on a
dx266 and it looks okay. The sinusoidal variation of the parameter
might not be as interesting as it could, but it still gives an idea
of the effect of the parameter.
OPTIONS
julia
accepts the following options:
-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root
Draw on the root window.
-mono
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
-ncolors integer
How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 200.
The colors used cycle through the hue, making N stops around
the color wheel.
-cycles integer
-count integer
-mouse
-nomouse
If -mouse is specified, the control point of the Julia set will
be derived from the position of the mouse in the window. When the mouse
is not in the window, the control point is chosen the normal way.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
