Fractal Image

This is a Julia set using the function fc(z) = z2 + c, with c = 0.45 - 0.1427i. The image represents the portion of the complex plane between real values -1 and 1, and imaginary values -i and i. Each pixel corresponds to a complex value; this value is seeded to fc and the function iterates for a maximum of 100 times. If the value of the function ever has a magnitude greater than 2, the function is considered to have diverged and the iteration stops. The number of iterations is used as an index into a colormap which interpolates linearly between black and orange for the first quarter of its range, and then between orange and green for its final three quarters, and the pixel is colored accordingly.
