This script is for calculating Julia seed movies. As you drag
the Julia seed across the Mandelbrot set the Julia set changes
dramatically, and this script allows you to easily calculate an
animation of these changes, thus allowing you to play them back in
real time.
This script takes the julia seed location when you initially
run the script as the start point, and then asks you to select another
point. It then smoothly moves from one pointer to the other, saving
the frames out as calculated. If you ask it to save out full screens,
then the Mandelbrot set with the seed pointer moving across it will be
saved also, showing the cause and effect.
The number of frames calculated can easily be changed by
adjusting the variable at the top of the script.
The resulting animation can be easily loaded into DPaint or any
animation player.
