Julia set

This repository contains a single Python script to create nice images or animations of Julia sets.

This script has a command line interface: get started with the following command:

python JuliaSet.py --help
usage: JuliaSet.py [-h] [-k [K [K ...]]] [-s SIZE] [-x X] [-c COLORMAP]
                [--pattern PATTERN] [-o OUTPUT] [-n NUMBER] [-p]

Generate a julias set fractal curve

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-k [K [K ...]]        complex number used to create Julia set. Two numbers
                        have to be given for animation. Default is
                        0.285+0.01j. (default: [(0.285+0.01j)])
-s SIZE, --size SIZE  size of the generated image. (default: 401)
-x X                  domain size of the fractal. Default is 2.0, meaning a
                        -2 x +2, -2 x +2 square will be created. (default:
                        2.0)
-c COLORMAP, --colormap COLORMAP
                        name of the matplotlib colormap to use. (default:
                        autumn)
--pattern PATTERN     pattern use to control output. A letter corresponds to
                        a picture, several letters can be given. Description
                        is given below. (default: abcde)
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        name of the generated file. If not provided, result
                        will display on screen. (default: None)
-n NUMBER, --number NUMBER
                        number of pictures to generate between two complex
                        numbers. Default is 2. (default: 2)
-p, --parallel        boolean used to create images in a parallel way. It
                        used the (n-1) cores. Default is False. (default:
                        False)

# Display help
python JuliaSet.py --help

# Create a Julia set fractal with k=0.285+0.01j with 501 points and a square with half-length of 1.25
python JuliaSet.py -s 501 -x 1.25 -k 0.285+0.01j

# Create an animation with 50 frames that covers from 0.285+0.01j to 0.285+0.02j
python JuliaSet.py -s 501 -x 1.25 -k 0.285+0.01j 0.285+0.02j -n 50 -o animation.mp4

# Same as previous but with fully developped argument and parallel execution
python JuliaSet.py --size 501 -x 1.25 -k 0.285+0.01j 0.285+0.02j -number 50 --parallel

# Pattern describes the output displayed. Possible letter are:
a : Real part of Z
b : Norm of Z
c : Imaginary part of Z
d : Convergence level
e : Ponderation between norm and convergence level
