This directory contains C++, fortran90, perl and python code
for Mandelbrot set generation.

Makefile is provided and the c++/fortran codes can be compiled by typing
"make"

However, you must find your python2.7 directory, and change variables:
PYBIND and PYLIBS.

These programs print results on the screen. Redirection of output is needed. 
Execute the programs by:

fortran:
  time ./manf > mand.dat
c++:
  time ./manc > mand.dat
python:
  time ./mand.py > mand.dat 

A short script is provided for plotting the output. Use
"gnuplot gnu.sh"
to plot.

You can also run
  ./mand2.py
which uses python internal plotting capability (matplotlib) to plot results directly on the screen.

Next,
  ./mand3.py
is speed up by weave and pybind11.

Finally,
  ./mand4.py
display mandelbrot, and have resizing capability. Just zoom-in the region, and the plot will be refreshed.
mand3.py and mand4.py use c++ to recompute the plot.


The executables and objects can be cleaned by typing
"make clean"
