Java Julia Set Generator

Click in the image of the Mandelbrot Set below to generate the corresponding Julia Set.

Your browser does not understand the applet tag. You need the latest version of Netscape for unix, Windows '95, or Macintosh to view this applet.

Notes

Each Julia Set generated here corresponds to a complex number c. The Mandelbrot Set lives in the complex plane and is related to the generated Julia Sets. You may choose the complex number c by clicking on the image of the Mandelbrot set or by entering the parameter into the text field and pressing return. If you enter the number into the text field, you must enter it in either of the formats

"c = a + b i"   or   "c = a - b i"

where a is a number and b is a non-negative number. Note that the spacing is important.

Pressing the "Download" button redirects your browser to a CGI program which generates a gif image corresponding to your choice of c. You may download the source code for both the CGI and the applet itself.
