The Mandelbrot Set is a mathematical object, a fractal, that exists in the complex plane. It was first studied by Robert Brooks and Pater Matelski in 1978, and popularized by Scientific American in 1985.

The immediate neighbourhood of the Mandelbrot Set has a boundless wealth of detail and intricacy. With MandelView4, you can enjoy that beauty wherever you go, and share particularly nice views with friends.

There are many applications on the Internet for exploring the Mandelbrot set. This one is designed to be fast, easy to use, and moderately configurable. Some of its features include:
* Adjustable compute limit
* Multi-threaded computation for speed
* Zoom in to more than 10000000X
* Adjustable colors, including alpha effects
* Bookmarks
* Save to gallery and Share

This version has over a dozen pre-defined base color schemes; the ability to define custom color gradients will be in the next version.
