Description: Fractal Creator. This Demo program is written in C++. This project creates a bitmap file and then applies two magnification functions to a sector of that file. The bitmap is a graphic image. The graphic image is a fractal created by the Mandelbrot Set. A fractal in mathematics is an abstract object used to describe and simulate naturally occurring objects. Fractals can also be nearly the same at different levels.
