I'm currently drawing the Mandelbrot set pixel by pixel with PhotoImage and tkinter. I'm using basically the algorithm directly with no modifications. Are there methods to make the calculation faster? Maybe filling in large areas of color quickly, or precalcuating constants?
Part of the code:
ITERATIONS = 50
WIDTH, HEIGHT = 600, 600
CENTER = (-.5, 0)
DIAMETER = 2.5
def mandel(c):
z = 0
for i in range(ITERATIONS):
z = z**2 + c
if abs(z) > 2:
return i
return ITERATIONS
root = Tk()
canvas = Canvas(root, width=WIDTH,height=HEIGHT)
canvas.pack()
img = PhotoImage(width=WIDTH, height=HEIGHT)
canvas.create_image((WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/2), image=img, state="normal")
real = CENTER[0] - 0.5 * DIAMETER
imag = CENTER[1] - 0.5 * DIAMETER
def color(i):
colors = ("#0000AA", "#88DDFF", "#FF8800", "#000000")
if i == ITERATIONS:
return colors[-1]
else:
choice = (i//2) % len(colors)
return colors[choice]
for x in range(WIDTH):
for y in range(HEIGHT):
i = mandel(complex(real, imag))
img.put(color(i), (x, HEIGHT-y))
imag += DIAMETER / HEIGHT
imag = CENTER[1] - 0.5 * DIAMETER
real += DIAMETER / WIDTH
mainloop()
