The script mandelbrot.py can be called from the command line, but parameters are passed in an if __name__=="__main__" statement at the bottom of the script. I would implement a command line argument parser (and argparse would be the way to do it) but I think the amount of effort required is greater than the reward.
The arguments for the primary function in the script are described below. The secondary function, print_progress_bar, simply prints a progress bar, very much like what pip uses. I borrowed this script from here.
a: number between -2 and 2b: number between -2 and 2 Above are only used injulia.pyinitial_color_hue: number between 0 and 1. Specifies the initial coloring based on HSV color model. Corresponds with Hue.color_scale: how rapidly colors change while rendering the fractal Above are for use in a color smoothing algorithm. More info herezoom_level: any number from 1 to inf.center_point: point at which the image is centered. Bounded by ((-2, -2), (2, 2))max_iter: number of iterations to run on a pixeljob: helpful for when generating multiple fractals. First number that shows up in the image name.directory: directory to save image in. Must be relative to current working directory.image_size: Image size in pixels (tuple)image_save: whether or not to save the image (boolean)x_max: Maximum value on the real axis on which the fractal is defined. Highly recommended that this number (2.3) is not changed.aspect_ratio: ratio between sides of imageverbose: print information about generation of image (boolean)
