fract

A fractal generator with various options for mandelbrot-, julia- and newton-sets. And a improved rendering with antialiasing.

The usual autotool procedure should work (expects gcc/clang? otherwise see Building):

For a out of tree compile this is the procedure after cloning:

   autoreconf -fis
   mkdir build
   cd build
   ../configure --prefix=/usr
   make
   ./src/fract

Usage

• All options are shown in a context menu with the right mouse click
• To zoom just press the left mouse button and drag a rectangle for the next view

This comes with ignoring some of the autotools best practices, the compile options for gcc/clang are integrated in Makefiles.

• as optimization is required for this kind of program
• handling of compile options may not be easy for everyone trying this
• i'm too lazy to fill in debug settings (use configure ... ---enable-debug=yes to get them)
• the autotools offer not many options to make compile options dynamic (at least not without m4 macro magic)
• sorry all those no gcc friends see Makefile.am (windows gui switch) and also src/Makefile.am (optimization-/debug options) and adapt these to your compiler
