NAME

mtmandy - mandelbrot set explorer

SYNOPSIS

mtmandy [ OPTIONS ]... [ FILENAME ]

DESCRIPTION

mtmandy visually explores the Mandelbrot set. As and when required, big numbers, or arbitrary precision floating point numbers are used instead of the normal double precision floats. Left mouse click to move the centre of the zoom box, right click to zoom in. Use the Arrow Keys to move, with Shift to move more quickly, or the Ctrl key to shift the view in that direction. The F1 key prints the current position to stdout. The s key dumps the current image to the user's home directory. The Home key returns to the start position. The Delete or Escape keys terminate the current processing job. The q key terminates the program, when not processing. The End key Redraws the current view. Zoom in and out using the keys Page Up, Page Down, Enter, +, -.

OPTIONS

--version

: Output version information and exit.

-cx DECIMAL

: The X coordinate for the centre of the plot (-2.0 to 2.0). Default = 0.0.

-cy DECIMAL

: The Y coordinate for the centre of the plot (-2.0 to 2.0). Default = 0.0.

-depth INTEGER

: Maximum depth of iterations (8 to 16777216). Default = 1024.

-dz_double

: Set the deep zoom type to double (64 bits, very fast but limited).

-dz_float

: Set the deep zoom type to float (256 bits).

-dz_float_fast

: Set the deep zoom type to float (128 bits).

-dz_none

: Set the deep zoom type to none (blank).

-dz_rational

: Set the deep zoom type to rational (unlimited bits, perfect accuracy, VERY slow).

-dz_on

: Switch to deep zoom type when reaching the limit of a double (default).

-dz_always

: Use the deep zoom type for all renders.

-oh INTEGER

: Output pixmap height (16 to 15360). Default = 500.

-ow INTEGER

: Output pixmap width (16 to 15360). Default = 500.

-prefs STRING

: Use this file for GUI program preferences (e.g. window position).

-q

: Quiet mode.

-range DECIMAL

: Range of the plot width (maximum 20.0). Default = 4.0.

-threads INTEGER

: Use this number of threads for the calculations (1 to 16). Default = 0 which detects the number of available of threads on the CPU.

EXAMPLE

mtmandy -cx 0.5 -cy 0.2 -threads 5

FILES

~/.config/mtmandy/prefs.txt

: Default file used for storing user preferences.
