zvrba/ software/ mandelbrot zoom

Unpack the archive and enter the mandel directory. First run the mandel program. The mandelbrot set is drawn. Click somewhere into the set and a zoomed-in image (centered around the point where you have clicked) is drawn. If nothing happens (there should be a beep if you run the program from the terminal), then you have gone too far -- click somewhere nearer the center of the current image. (This restriction is needed to achieve smooth animation). When you are done, press the 'q' key (while the mouse is within the window) and the program will exit.

There will be a series of files on the disk named keyf.xxx and interpolate.in. These are input to the interpolate program. Just run the interpolate program and watch the animation :)

This program uses the SDL library. The binaries in the archive are all dynamically linked. Maybe you will have to recompile the program if you have wrong versions of the libraries. In that case just erase interpolate and mandel programs and type 'make'.

Part of this program is written in i386 assembly.
