.....Mandel BROT controls....

Load/Save buttons:
The Mandelbrot set or a part of it can be drawn and saved as a bmp file. 
A bump file generated with this program can later be loaded and redrawn.

The Mandelbrot field is a square where (x,y) = -2>x>+2 & -2>y>2 units.
The selected picture is a square whose left edge, top edge and width are 
selectable by typing the numbers into the edit boxes or selecting these 
parameters with the zoom feature. In addition, four preselected areas 
may be chosen with mouse clicks on the button labeled full to horn, 
spiral or point. 

Clicking the Zoom button to its on position permits selecting a portion 
of the existing picture to be drawn. This can be done repeatedly.

When the top, left and width are selected then the picture can be drawn 
by clicking the draw button. The stop and erase feature clearing the 
picture area and or drawing multiple pictures onto the same picture area.

The custome, trig, linear, log button alternately selects the color 
pattern for the image. The Draft, rough, fine density selection select 
every fourth, second or all the 400x400 pixels in the image area.

The exit button terminates the program gracefully.

A word about the zoom feature:
When the zoom button is selected ON then a square window shows in the 
image area. The image within the selection square is repeated in the 
zoom window for selection. The selection window is moved by mousing 
down within the window and dragging the window to a new location. 
The sizing is done by mousing down in the image area outside the 
selection window and dragging its lower and right edges to the new 
position, the top and left edges remainint in place. When a new picture 
area is selected, click the draw button to make a new image.

One other point: For an image that has been loaded to be able to be 
zoomed into a smaller viewing area, the left, tip and width values of 
that image must be known. These parameters are embedded in all the 
images that have been created with and saved with this program. The 
values appear on the drawn image as a small line segment in the lower 
left hand portion of the image. Hardly noticable, they can be edited 
out easily with any number of "Paint" editors; however, further zooming 
of the edited image will not be possible.

Happy hacking, and any criticism will be appreciated. For example, I'm 
sure There is a better method of zooming. 

My thinks to the many people of this group and Mr. Yu for RapidQ. It has 
given be a great deal of pleasure to participate in this project.
