Mandelbrot Fractal Generator

A simple Rust program that generates a Mandelbrot fractal image and saves it as a grayscale PNG file.

Dependencies

• image (version 0.24.5) for image manipulation and saving.
• num-complex (version 0.4) for complex number calculations.

Usage

1. Install Rust and Cargo, if you haven't already, by following the instructions on the official website.
2. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/finnatsea/mandelbrot-fractal-generator.git
cd mandelbrot-fractal-generator

3. Run the program:

cargo run

The program will generate a grayscale Mandelbrot fractal image with dimensions 800x800 pixels and save it as a PNG file called "mandelbrot.png" in the same directory.

Customization You can customize the image by changing the following variables in the main.rs file:

• width: The width of the generated image.
• height: The height of the generated image.
• max_iterations: The maximum number of iterations for determining if a point is in the Mandelbrot set or not.

After making changes, run the program again using cargo run.
