- Press and hold on the area you want to zoom in on.
- Swipe up and down to zoom in and out at your current center point
- Swipe left and right to increase and decrease the resolution.
(At close-up zooms, iterations can take an incredibly long time to produce a "good" image)
- Press the menu button and "Save to SD card" to save the generated image for use as a wallpaper or to send through email or text message SMS.
The "Mandelbrot Set" is defined by the equation:
Zn+1 = Zn^2 + c
The "c" in this equation can be a normal decimal number that we are used to seeing in every day life, or it can be an "imaginary number". Imaginary numbers are ones that attempt to define the square root of a negative number. No number multiplied by itself will result in a negative number, so mathemiticians invented "i" which is defined as the square root of negative one.
