Draft notice: this page is incomplete and will be updated relatively soon.

The full source code for this program is available here.

This is a small Java applet for visualizing the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets. Note that in the source code there is also a Java application that does the same, however the applet renders the image of the set in a separate thread and is significantly faster. To explore the Mandelbrot Set, simply compile and run Fractal.java and then pan and zoom with your cursor and mouse wheel. Use the arrow keys to alter the set displayed, the +/- keys to control the number of iterations before escape, and the q/a, w/s, and e/d keys to alter the RGB channels of the colormap.
