WHAT IS HÉNON ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hénon is a program for drawing Hénon pictures (simple, eh?). Hénon pix are
some kind of fractal images. It's much work to calculate them, but if you use
some precalculated values, you can draw them quite fast. (Hénon v0.90 needed
about 10 mins to calculate a special picture (without precalc), Hénon v1.00
produced the same picture in 30 secs. That's faaaast, isn't it ?).
HOW DO I START IT ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To see some nice demo pics, just double click on the according "Demo" icon.
If you want to produce your own pictures, you'll have to use the CLI or Shell.
Type "Henon ?" for some help. Henon takes 5 parameters : a, xymin, xymax,
xystep, itera.
THE PARAMETERS :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a : That's just the value "a" of the Hénon formula. I don't know how I
should explain this, so try for the beginning values between 0.0 and
2.0
xymin : The first value of the orbit. Try 0.025
xymax : The last value of the orbit. Try 1.2
xystep : The step for the orbit. X and Y are increased constantly by xystep
until they reach xymax. Normally the same as xymin. Try 0.025
itera : The number of iterations/orbit. Normally between 500 and 2000 (Some
Hénon pics require more, some less). Try 1000
