Algorithm for Approximating a Julia Set, Jc

  1. Select a number c in the complex plane and select a positive integer D (depth).
  2. For each number z in the complex plane form the sequence:
    {z, z2+c, (z2+c)2+c, ((z2+c)2+c)2+c, ...}.
  3. Shade z if the first D numbers in its sequence have length less than 2.
