mset

This is just a quick program I put together for practice with Rust.

See this Imgur album for more!

"License"

Feel free to use this at your own risk and do whatever you want with the code.

Building

Whelp, this is written in Rust (and Cargo), so you'll need to install them. See this. You'll also need to clone this project :) Once cloned, navigate to the project folder and run:

cargo build --release

The binary will be found at target/release/mset.

Executing

This generates the Mandelbrot set from x on [-2, .5] and y on [-1.25, 1.25]. The output is stored to output.png. It takes input via the command line. Syntax looks like:

zeda@zeda:~/mset$ ./mset width height iter cm0 cm1 cm2

• width is the width in pixels of the output
• height is the height in pixels of the output
• iter is the maximum iterations per pixel
• cm0 is a multiplier used to generate the red component of the color
• cm1 is a multiplier used to generate the green component of the color
• cm2 is a multiplier used to generate the blue component of the color

I couldn't figure out how to parse a string as an integer, so I wrote my own routine. It does no error checking, so you will get wonky results if you use non-numeric values!

Some of my favorite inputs:

./mset 1024 1024 256 32 32 12
./mset 1024 1024 256 1 3 6
./mset 1024 1024 256 3 6 1
./mset 1024 1024 256 6 1 3
./mset 1024 1024 256 6 3 1
./mset 1024 1024 256 253 22 1
