This directory contains the source code for two examples, the n-body problem and (the ever-popular) viewing the Mandelbrot set. Parallel Mandelbrot in MPI Written by Ed Karrels, karrels@mcs.anl.gov This is a demo of the graphical tools built into MPE. It includes rudimentary drawing routines and some simple mouse handling routines. A listing of command line options will be printed if run with the '-h' option. When not reading coordinates from a file and -zoom is not specified, after an image is complete the program will wait for the user to drag the first mouse button over a region. When the mouse button is released, the program will zoom in on the selected region. Sorry, there is no good way to shut down the program when it is running in a loop through an input file or with zooming active. I'm working on it... For example, to start by viewing the entire set with the option to zoom: pmandel -rmin -2 -rmax 2 -imin -2 -imax 2 +zoom Try including the 'cool.points' file to see a series of interesting regions: pmandel -i cool.points -loop (good demo!) .
