Mandelbrot_Fractal_Generator

Getting Started

These instructions will help you set up and run the Mandelbrot fractal generator on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Rust and Cargo: You need to have Rust and Cargo installed.

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/bensatlantik/mandelbrot-fractal-generator.git
cd mandelbrot-fractal-generator

Build the Project

cargo build --release

Dependencies

This project depends on the image crate for image creation and manipulation. Make sure it is included in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
image = "0.23.14"

Usage

Run the project to generate the Mandelbrot fractal image:

cargo run --release

The program will create an image file named mandelbrot_fractal.png in the project directory.

Customization

You can customize the fractal generation by modifying the constants in the source code:

WIDTH and HEIGHT: Change the dimensions of the output image.

MAX_ITER: Adjust the maximum number of iterations to influence the fractal detail.

X_MIN, X_MAX, Y_MIN, and Y_MAX: Modify the boundaries of the complex plane being rendered.

Output

The output is an 800x800 image of the Mandelbrot fractal, saved as mandelbrot_fractal.png. The color gradient represents the iteration count, providing a visual representation of the fractal's complexity.
