*1 The specification method of color Color is decided by combination of five collar buttons at the lower right of a window ("R", "G", "B", "a" (a1-a4), "b" (b1-b3)), and slide-bars. "R", "G", and the "B" button are reversal of the element (red, green, blue) of a color. A rough color pattern is set up with the "a" (a1-a4) button. A fine color pattern is set up with the "b" (b1-b3) button. A color palette becomes what reflected the state of "R", "G", and the "B" button in the combination of collar buttons "a" and "b". A slide-bar specifies whether the Mandelbrot-set is colored with which portion of a color palette as the starting point. By using a color palette and a slide bar, no less than a total of 96000 kinds of colors can be chosen very easily. *2 About mdl format A mdl format is the file format original with this program in which the coordinates for drawing the Mandelbrot-set and the information on a color are stored. One drawing information is stored in one line, and it consists of seven columns of the following divided in the SPACE-character. (1) The value of the coordinates "x". (2) The value of the coordinates "y". (3) The value of width "w". (smaller one of x-width and y-width) (4) Aspect ratio. (x-width / y-width) (5) The number of iterations. (decimal) (6) The state of a collar button. (hex-decimal) (7) The value of a slide-bar. (decimal) A mdl format can be freely changed by the text editor. |
