Description:
This PocketPC application can calculate pictures of 8 Mandelbrot/Julia type complex fractals on your PDA. Easily zoom into selected areas of the fractal.
Main features:
- Support for 8 complex fractal types (known from the great PC program called Fractint):
- Barnsley J1
- Barnsley M1
- Julia
- Julia4
- Mandelbrot
- Manowar
- Manowar J
- Spider
- Support for three types of arithmetic precision:
- Fixed point 32 bit: fully optimized StrongARM assembly code; very fast, limited zooming
- Fixed point 64 bit: optimized C-code accelerated by StrongARM assembly code; zooming capabilities similar to floating point but significantly faster
- Floating point: optimized C-code; deep zooming, slow calculations
- Context-sensitive help, accessible through the Start Menu.
- Save your favorite pictures for future recalculation, in a very compact file format called MBF. (Several sample MBF files included.)
- Palettes (up to 256 colors) can be loaded from file. Palette files (MPF file format) come in two flavors:
- Binary format (native); allows for compact file size
- ASCII text format (user defined); allows users to easily create their own custom palette files. A palette save option allows these user defined palettes to be saved into the native binary format
- Color cycling and 3D relief drawing effects.
- Slideshow option (view your file history as a slideshow).
- Power saving: automatically turns of the screen during calculations if the battery power is low.
- Many new options.
- It's still freeware! :-)
Update Description:
One user reported problems on the Toshiba e740. This was caused by an error in the GAPI driver on this device. The update includes a workaround for this issue, and thus also works on the e740.
