This applet models a different generating function than the usual Mandelbrot set. The Mandelbrot set is generated by zn+1=zn2+C, where z0=0 and C is the point of interest on the graph, whereas this figure is generated by zn+1=zn3+C.
Click on in to zoom in to see greater detail, and out to zoom out. Likewise, click on right to move right, and left to move left.
The points calculated to be in the Mandelbrot set are colored black; the other colors code for the number of iterations before the point diverges.
