Constructor Detail

MandelbrotSetIterationCountGenerator

public MandelbrotSetIterationCountGenerator(Bound bound,
                                            int maximumIterations,
                                            double escapeRadius)

Constructor for the generator.

Parameters:

bound - Bound representing the minimum and maximum complex number to have iteration values calculated for.

maximumIterations - Maximum number of iterations before assuming the complex number lies within the mandelbrot set.

escapeRadius - The escape radius to use when calculating the iteration values.

Method Detail

calculate

public int[][] calculate(int xresolution,
                         int yresolution,
                         int numberOfThreads)

Calculate the iteration values for a given resolution using a certain number of threads.

Parameters:

xresolution - The resolution of the x-axis.

yresolution - The resolution of the y-axis.

numberOfThreads - The number of threads to run the calculation on.

Returns:

A 2D array containing the iteration values. Each position in the array can be accessed as so: array[x][y].
