- This file tells how to do some common things you'll want to do with Iterate!
- version 3.11.
-
-
- How to quickly iterate a bunch of points to get an overview of what the
- function looks like
- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- 1. <A> to automatically enter points on the iteration stack.
- 2. <I> to iterate the points you've entered.
-
-
- How to enter my own function
- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Use <E> to edit a user function file. At first you'll want to choose an
- existing function file (extension ".frm") and modify it.
-
- You can also use the <F> command and choose Function U. This selects the User
- Function, but doesn't allow you to edit it as the <E> command does.

- How to explore Julia Sets
- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- 1. Choose Function E using the <F> command. Enter the parameters you
- want as 'a' and 'b'.
- 2. Draw the Julia Set using the <J> command.
- 3. Use the <H> command to hide the graphics help line (this makes the
- <M> command work much better.
- 4. Move the cursor to various places in the Julia Set and use the <M>
- command to trace the iterates and <Space> to draw the iterates.

-
- How to enter Julia Set parameters directly from the Mandelbrot Set
- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- 1. Use the <F> command and choose Function E.
- 2. Use the <R> command and load "Mandelbr.gph".
- 3. Move the cursor to any spot in or near the Mandelbrot Set.
- 4. Press <Z> to load these coordinates as the parameters.
- 5. Press <J> to draw the Julia Set associated with these parameters.
- 6. Use <Space> and <M> to investigate the properties of Function E with
- these parameters.
-
- You will see amazing correlations between the area of the Mandelbrot Set you
- choose and the resulting Julia Set.
