frax

a realtime Julia fractals explorer made with Go and OpenGL

Building

go build
./frax

You will need OpenGL and GLFW installed.

You might need to specify the C compiler/linker flags to help go find them ; for example:

export CGO_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include'
export CGO_LDLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
go build

For more informations, please refer to the Go binding libraries: go-gl/gl and go-gl/glfw

How-to

Use the mouse to naviage, and the Up/Down arrows to change the contrast.

Note: the higher the contrast, the higher the number of iterations used for the escape analysis, which means an higher load on your GPU.
