Keith Vetter 2002-11-19 - This draws the Mandelbrot Fractal. You can highlight a portion and zoom in to it, or zoom back out.
I'm not totally happy with the coloring scheme. I originally tried varying the brightness of the base color (using code from Making color gradients) and you can choose that option. But I found I preferred just choosing colors at random.
One curiousity: drawing pixel by pixel into a canvas was too slow. Instead, I placed a blank image on the canvas and am drawing the fractal into it (and following the advice of Tk image Dos and Don'ts I'm painting by rows).
I could probably get better numeric precision if I used the mpexpr package but I'll leave that as a future improvement.

Kris 2007-08-05 - I tweaked the interlaced rendering a little:
in proc Render
replace
set step 4 ;# Do interlaced drawing for {set start 0} {$start < $step} {incr start} {
with
foreach {start wid step} {0 8 8 4 4 8 2 2 4 1 1 1} {
and
::img::myImage put $data -to $x 0
with
for {set xx $x} {$xx < $x+$wid} {incr xx} { ::img::myImage put $data -to $xx 0 }
This may slow down the rendering but I think the "first results" are better than with the thin stripes.
RVB This is a great script! I added another color scheme (HSV variation)
