pybenoit - drawing Mandelbrot fractals in Python

What is it

It's yet another generator of graphs of the Mandelbrot Set.

It uses gmpy2 for some of its math, so it's a little slower, but more accurate than a lot of Mandelbrot generators.

Why is it named pybenoit?

Because it's in Python, and the Mandelbrot set was popularized by Benoit Mandelbrot.

Usage:

Usage: ./pybenoit
    --max-reps 100
    --left-real -2.2
    --right-real 1.0
    --top-imaginary -1.8
    --bottom-imaginary 1.8
    --real-image-steps 1000
    --imaginary-image-steps 950
    --no-axes
