Fractal-Generator

This is my first GUI proyect. A Mandelbrot-like fractal generator, defined by the iterative evaluation of a function of two complex variables. The interfece let you dinamically change the ploted region, as well as the fractal parameters.

Requirements

This program uses the cupy library, which needs CUDA to work. Make sure to follow the instructions in https://docs.cupy.dev/en/stable/install.html if you don't have it installed before you install the packages in the requirements.txt file

Function

Captura

The fractal can be moved in a click-and-drag fashion, as well as with the buttons below. The fractal will regenerate after each movement.

Image references:

1 - Here you write a function of two complex variables (that must be called 'z' and 'c) where z represents the output of the last iteration (by default set in zero, but changeable through the parameter 11), while c represents a point on the complex plane. The function must be on cupy format, for example, to use an exponential format it should be written as cp.exp(z)

2 - Set logarithmic scale for the plot. Usefull to get sharper edges when the allowed maximum absolute value of z is big or when rapidly incresing functions are used, such as the exponential function.

3 - Toggle a center marker to make easier to set an interesting point as the center for zoom.

4 - Regenerates the fractal using the coordinates and with of 5 and 6.

5 - The cartesian coordinates of the point you want to center the image after clicking in 4, with format x,y.

6 - The width on the complex plane that will be ploted on the image (e.g. a value of 2 centered in 0,0 will plot between -1 and 1).

7 - The amount of zoom you make with respect to the center after you press the zoom in/out buttons.

8 - Maximum number of iterations.

9 - Maximum absolute value allowed for z.

10 - Resolution of the image in pixels

11 - Initial value of z

To change the parameters in 8, 9, 10 and 11 you must press the "save parameters" button and then "generate fractal"
