- Introduction
-
- PosterBrot is a greyscale Mandelbrot set poster generator. It
- will generate a set of PGM image files, which, when printed, can be
- combined into a poster.
-
-
- Features
-
- - Portable. PosterBrot is written in ANSI C, and can ported
- to any platform which supports the standard.
-
- - FPU support. Directly uses the MC6888x, if available.
-
- - Smooth. PosterBrot colors by escape radius, rather than by
- escape iteration. This method produces extremely smooth gradients
- with fewer iterations per pixel.
-
-
- System requirements
-
- - AmigaDOS 2.0
- - Software suitable for printing PGM images
