It +displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and +allows you to zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various coloring modes are +provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In +addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and +displaying planes is provided. The first version was a poorly written +Mandelbrot viewer by Thomas later modified by Jan to support high +frame-rate zooming. Other additions were later made including autopilot +(for those of you without driver licenses), palette changing, PNG +saving, and fractal inversion. + +.SH OPTIONS + + -delay number + Delay screen updates (milliseconds) + -driver string + Select driver + -list List available drivers.
