Mandel: Mandelbrot Fractal Engine

Click to open or copy the files for the Mandel sample.

This Mandelbrot Dream sample demonstrates GDI and USER functions by working with fractals.  This sample demonstrates the following:

• Drawing the Mandelbrot set and the corresponding Julia set.
  
  
• Zooming into any of the sets.
  
  
• MDI fractal drawing windows.
  
  
• Floating point math and fixed point math.
  
  
• Shifting color table entries.
  
  
• Changing palette entries and animating palette (color cycling).
  
  
• Loading and saving bitmaps created with special effects.
  
  
• Changing bitmap colors with flood fill.
  
  
• Boundary tracing and creating a clip region for special effects.
  
  
• Enumerating printers.
  
  
• Loading RLE (or converting BMP files to RLE) for playing in viewer.
  
  
• Saving the RLE in memory to disk.
