A negative height reverses the Y-axis calculation. * @param res The step size (resolution) per pixel in the complex plane. * @param n The maximum number of mathematical iterations per pixel. * @param color If true, generates a 24-bit RGB image. If false, writes a grayscale image. * @param img Pointer to the pre-allocated memory buffer where the bitmap data will be stored. */ void tricorn_V3(float complex start, size_t width, ssize_t height, float res, unsigned n, _Bool color, unsigned char* img){ float imag_direction = height < 0 ? -1.0f : 1.0f; unsigned bytesPerColor = color ? 3 : 1; height = height < 0? -height : height; // Simple iteration over every pixel in the picture for(size_t i = 0; i < width; i++){ for(ssize_t j = 0; j < height; j++){ unsigned value = converge(start + (i*res - I* imag_direction*j*res),n); // Pixel value position in the output array size_t position = (j*width +i) * bytesPerColor; if(!color){ // Grayscale colors as specified by the assignment r = g = b img[position] = value; } else{ // Temporary colors with random multipliers img[position] = ((value*3) % 255); img[position + 1] = ((value*2) % 255) ; img[position + 2] = ((value*5) % 255); } } } } // Iterative application of the equation given by the assignment static unsigned converge(float complex position,unsigned n){ complex float result = 0; for(unsigned i = 0; i < n; i++){ // Detection of unbounded behaviour // If the magnitude of the result vector is greater than the convergence limit, we know that the function will grow unbounded // Current convergence limit taken from mandelbrot set if(sqrtf(powf (crealf(result),2)+powf(cimagf(result),2)) > convergenceLimit) return 255-4*(i % 64); // Application of the given complex equation with m = 2 result = cpowf(conjf(result),2) + position; } return 0; }
