Deep Mandelbrot is a small command line utility to compute pretty pictures (or movies) of any size and depth of the famous Mandelbrot set and its surroundings.

The most important features are:

• Multi-threaded computation to support modern multi-core CPUs efficiently
• Arbitrary precision computations (using the libgmp) so only your hardware is the limit!
• Normalized iteration count to achieve continuous coloring (and to avoid color bands)
• Image Oversampling to enhance the quality of the resulting PNG image
• Lots of selected color tables and the possibility to re-color an already computed data frame
• Optional histogram as table for further analysis (e. g. with Octave or Matlab) plus chosen 'color table vs histogram' as another PNG image
• Support for easy movie creation
