canvas_mandelbrot {aRtsy}

R Documentation

Draw the Mandelbrot Set

Description

This function draws the Mandelbrot set and other related fractal sets on the canvas.

Usage

canvas_mandelbrot(
  colors,
  iterations = 100,
  zoom = 1,
  set = c("mandelbrot", "multibrot", "julia", "ship"),
  left = -2.16,
  right = 1.16,
  bottom = -1.66,
  top = 1.66,
  resolution = 500
)

Arguments

`colors`	a string or character vector specifying the color(s) used for the artwork.
`iterations`	a positive integer specifying the number of iterations of the algorithm.
`zoom`	a positive value specifying the amount of zoom to apply.
`set`	a character indicating which fractal set to draw. Possible options are `mandelbrot` for the Mandelbrot set, `multibrot` for variations of the Mandelbrot set (aka the Multibrot sets), `julia` for the Julia set and `ship` for the Burning ship set.
`left`	a value specifying the minimum location on the x-axis.
`right`	a value specifying the maximum location on the x-axis.
`bottom`	a value specifying the minimum location on the y-axis.
`top`	a value specifying the maximum location on the y-axis.
`resolution`	resolution of the artwork in pixels per row/column. Increasing the resolution increases the quality of the artwork but also increases the computation time exponentially.

Value

A ggplot object containing the artwork.
