- What exactly do you mean by a geography? It's z = z^2 + c, where c
- is the coordinates on the real plane. When iterated, if it passes a
- certain test that shows that z is still not going off to infinity after a
- set amount of iterations, that point is said to be in the mandelbrot set.
- It is normal for all of those points to be colored black and the points
- that eventually have 'z's that go off to infinity get colored according to
- how fast they go off to infinity. It is a very pretty set indeed. There
- are a couple of tricks that make it really fast though, and I was wondering
- if anyone knows them. Thanx.
