Title: Mandelbrot and Julia Sets via Google
Post by: geep on February 03, 2011, 11:17:16 AM
For those with time to waste, Google now have a viewer for those old favourites the Mandelbrot and Julia sets.
There's an article about in the excellent New Scientist:

and the direct link is here: http://juliamap.googlelabs.com (http://juliamap.googlelabs.com)

Cheers,

Ah yes, fractals. I don't think I have got the time to waste, but thanks for the links. :)

@HPsauce - in the source of the Google page it says:
    <meta name="description" content="Julia set html 5 renderer.">
IE9 beta has HTML5 support.
Works OK with Firefox3.6.13 and Seamonkey 2.0.11. I think HTML5 is best supported by Chrome at present.

Cheers,
Peter
