gkII
gkII is a Mandelbrot and Julia set image generator, derived from Osku Salerma's Gfract. It features unlimited image size, anti-aliasing, Mandelbrot/Julia mangling, autolayers with ramped bailout/perturbation, and controllable colour palette randomization, striping, scaling, and interpolation.

Changes: Four new kunge types were added: xr2 mkII, xr2 mkIII, gti mkII, and mtb. These are all variations of the original xr2 and gti equations, only using cleaned up and corrected form. The README file was rewritten to serve more as a quick guide to the program.

Changes: In 0.4.5, the colour palette was not duplicated when duplicate or zoom in new window were used. It is now working again. Invert has moved from the palette menu to the palette functions dialog. The choice of Kunge types when bailing on Mandel is allowed again. -ffast-math optimisation has been removed from the Makefile ("...might have a reduced precision").
- 19 Nov 2006 20:39
Changes: A bug in user parameters that failed to update which parameters to calculate when drawing has been fixed, so the image no longer blanks when it should be drawing something. All dialogs now get updated when a gk2 file is loaded, among other circumstances. This release generates a random palette if default.map cannot be found. This release adds simple RGB channel functions and a striping facility for colour palettes.

Changes: The erasure of center lines in various circumstances that had previously proven embarrassingly mind boggling has been fixed.
- 20 Aug 2006 10:20
Changes: Center lines drawn when positioning a fractal in the window are now removed when cancelling the selection of a second point by using the position button on the toolbar. Tiny code cleanup as a result.

Recent commentsPatch for gkII-0.4.6
I had been experimenting with the code for the AFX Kunge Type, and neglected to restore it to it's working state.
There is a patch to fix this at:
gkII-src-0.4.6_afx_fix.patch (http://www.jwm-art.net/gkII/gkII-src-0.4.6_afx_fix.patch)
If you're not sure how to apply the patch there are brief instructions at gkII's home page.
Cheers,James.
Re: speed ups
Does not apply to gkII-0.4.5
speed ups
I forgot to enable optimizations and remove debugging symbols, so please visit the gkII homepage and follow the instructions in the install section, or, if you know what you're doing...
