Fractious

fractious is a command-line program for generating images of the Mandelbrot set.

Usage

With the default options, fractious produces the following image:

$ fractious -o mandelbrot.jpeg

The region of complex numbers to display can be specified, as can the dimensions of the image:

$ fractious -o mandelbrot_corner.jpeg -r "-2+1i,0" -p 600x300

Installation

Precompiled binaries are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Linux and macOS binaries are static, so nothing else needs to be installed. Windows binaries require Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017.

For Rust programmers, fractious can be installed with cargo:

$ cargo install fractious

Build

If you have Rust installed, you can build from source:

$ git clone git@github.com:jonstites/fractious.git
$ cd fractious
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/fractious --version
