Zooming into the Mandelbrot set using Qt and C++

A simple desktop application that draws the Mandelbot set and zooms into a predefined point. This is just a quick hack to learn Qt. There are much better Mandelbrot programs out threre.

Build and run from Qt Creator

  • Install Qt.
  • Start qtcreator
  • Accept default configuration
  • Build -> Build All
  • Build -> Run

Build and run from shell

  • cd ../build-mandelbrot-Desktop-Debug
  • make ./mandelbrot

Change size, speed and precision

  • The size of the graph can be changed here. Smaller is faster.
  • The precision of the graph can be changed here. Lower precision is faster, but gives bad resolution for deep zooms.

The default values are small and slow, but gives a lot of detail in the deep zooms
