Mandelbrot example

This example shows renders the famous mandelbrot fractal in small tiles which are served as individual images. These tiles are calculated on-demand, as the user navigates through the set.

This is similar to how one navigates through google maps, but in this case, the images are computed on the fly, instead of being retrieved from a database.

How to run

See the README in the parent directory.

What it illustrates

• the use of a custom WResource that computes contents on the fly
• the use of WRasterImage for painting raster graphics
• the use of WVirtualImage for a virtual image that consists of smaller tiled images
