    Mandelbrot using thinBasic FreeBasic Interop

    An example using FreeBasic inside thinBasic.
    Just open script in thinAir and execute. thinBasic will do the rest.
    Very fast execution

    thinBasic 1.11.1.x minimum version required

    Thanks Eros, this speed was a dream for A. K. Dewdney in August 1985 issue of Scientific American under the title "Computer Recreations: A computer microscope zooms in for a look at the most complex object in mathematics".
    https://static.scientificamerican.co...Mandelbrot.pdf
    the microcomputer was used is IBM PC uses the 8088 microprocessor as told in page 10 ( pages 2 to 7 is advs.) if you are fortunate and rich you will have a color monitor pre VGA era. and it takes a Mandelbrot set to calculate the whole night on such computers.
    i will read some parts of the article to see the number ranges in which Mandelbrot set is active

    i have prepared this in a hurry, so it may needs tuning, i have used Eros example above as a template
    i want to refer to the excelent example by largo_winch in 2011 here http://www.thinbasic.com/community/s...el-(mandelbrot
    near the end of that page there is mandelbrot_canvas1e.tbasic example
    it is using explicitly the real Mandelbrot set coordinates in which we can zoom or fly at any part of the set, the example is using the coordinates:
    xmin = -.65 : xmax = -.45 : ymin = .52 : ymax = .72 : numiter = 215
    but to view the whole set we can use
    xmin = -2.0 : xmax = 1 : ymin = -.8 : ymax = 1 : numiter = 215
    you must must not choose the dark area, (it is the Hell) only choose the colored.
    of course Eros example can be adjusted to refer to the real coordinates explicitly.
    i almost copied the thinbasic code inside compiled block, and using the nice debugger it works quickly
    but it needs too much elaborations, i haven't thought about it but the results is amazing
    to see the whole mandel set use instead of line 22
    xmin = -2.0 : xmax = 1 : ymin = -.8 : ymax = 1 : numiter = 215
    so this code is a microscope to different countries in the planet Mandelbrot set
    now why i need to add a small loop: ??:
    for i = 1 to 1 Line 31 else i will get error msg from FB:
    error 4: Duplicated definition, color_map in 'ReDim color_map(216)

    Nice theme, fractals... I remember back in the DOS era, I used to compute them with fractint (which already had a large list of formulas), and today, I just discovered that it's still slowly being developed, more than 30 years after first release !

    no need to the line 32: ReDim color_map(216)
    now no need to line 30: For i = 1 to 1 and line 80: Next
    so remove it
