MandFilterRequires LightWave 6.0 or later. Pixel Filter (Layout) The source code for MandFilter is one of the programming samples in the plug-in SDK. (Programmer note: the interface for this version has been changed to an LWXP_VIEW so that the E buttons work.) |

| Remember fractals? MandFilter is a pixel filter that lets you use
LightWave to render images of the Mandelbrot set. Just apply it in an empty scene and
render. Both the center and the zoom can be enveloped for animated views of the set, and
because it's a pixel filter, the output is antialiased. Click in the thumbnail image to
set the center, or drag out a rectangle that defines both the center and the zoom. Mandelbrot images are graphs of the iterated function z = z2 + c, where z and c are complex numbers. The plot is drawn in the complex plane, with c set to each point's coordinates and z initially 0. The color of each pixel in the image depends on how z behaves as the function is repeatedly computed for that pixel.
