Class MSHistogramSeq

  edu.rit.clu.fractal.MSHistogramSeq

public class MSHistogramSeq
extends Object

Class MSHistogramSeq is a sequential program that calculates a histogram of the Mandelbrot Set.

Usage: java edu.rit.clu.fractal.MSHistogramSeq width height xcenter ycenter resolution maxiter outfile
width = Image width (pixels)
height = Image height (pixels)
xcenter = X coordinate of center point
ycenter = Y coordinate of center point
resolution = Pixels per unit
maxiter = Maximum number of iterations
outfile = Output file name

The program calculates an iteration count i for each pixel in the same way as the MandelbrotSetSeq program, with 0 <= i <= maxiter. The program prints into the output file a histogram of the i values; that is, for each value of i, how many times that value occurred in the image.

The computation is performed sequentially in a single processor. The program measures the computation's running time, including the time to print the output. This establishes a benchmark for measuring the computation's running time on a parallel processor.
