mdz (Mandelbrot Deep Zoom) is a Mandelbrot set image generator focused on exploration into really deep areas of the Mandelbrot set, and without fanciful distractions. mdz uses the MPFR maths precision library to zoom really deep.

Recent releases


Release Notes: PNG images are always saved in RGB format to fix palette index limitations.


Release Notes: New fractal types Burning Ship, Generalized Celtic, and Variant, each with Mandelbrot and Julia versions. Multi-precision maths now use GMP for faster rendering, but MPFR is still available via the Correct Rounding option. The randomize button is always visible in the colours dialog. The palette offset setting in MDZ files is no longer ignored. Image dimensions, anti-aliasing, and thread count are not lost in new instances created by the duplicate and zoom-in-new-window menu commands. Loading of an MDZ settings file no longer resets anti-aliasing. Problems with older versions of MPFR have been fixed.


Release Notes: A new all-in-one tabbed notebook color editor was added to replace the previous separate dialogs. A new color palette display with draggable offset was added. Various memory leaks related to coordinates calculation were fixed. The code was cleaned up.


Release Notes: A coordinates precision problem was fixed. Duplicate/Zoom-in-new-window no longer dumps settings to stdout. A dist target was added to src/Makefile. The --version command line option was added. The version is shown in the main window title bar.


Release Notes: A new coordinates dialog for editing of the exact coordinates of an image. Palette data extraction from MDZ files. You can change the number of render threads from within GUI. File filters have been added to file choosers. Julia and Mandelbrot coordinates Independence have been fixed.
