Returns the values (number of iterations to escape, if at all, inverted) of the Mandelbrot set at point cr + i*ci in the complex plane, for a range of real values with a constant imaginary component.

The values are inverted, i.e., subtracted from the maximum value, so that no-escape points (technically, the only points actually in the Mandelbrot Set) have zero value and points that escape immediately have the maximum value. This allows simple mapping to the classic image with a black area in the middle. Then they are scaled to the 0.0-1.0 range, and an exponent is applied to emphasize changes at shorter escape times. Finally, they are mapped to RGB triples and returned.

Instance Variable	cm	A callable object that converts `NumPy` array inputs in the 0.0-1.0 range to an unsigned-int8 Python array of RGB triples.
Method	__init__	Constructor:
Method	__call__	Computes values for N points along the real (horizontal) axis from crMin to crMax, with the constant imaginary component ci.
Method	computeValues	Computes and returns a row vector of escape iterations, integer values.
Method	transform	Transforms the input vector x by taking it to a power, which is zero (no transform) or odd-numbered.

cm =

A callable object that converts NumPy array inputs in the 0.0-1.0 range to an unsigned-int8 Python array of RGB triples.

def __init__(self, N_values):

Constructor:

Parameters N_values The number of iterations to try, hence the range of integer values, for a single call to computeValues. Because a 5-point star around each point is evaluated with the values summed, the actual range of values for each point is 5 times greater.

def __call__(self, crMin, crMax, N, ci):

Computes values for N points along the real (horizontal) axis from crMin to crMax, with the constant imaginary component ci.

Returns A Python B-array 3*N containing RGB triples for an image representing the escape values.

def computeValues(self, N, x, ci, qd):

Computes and returns a row vector of escape iterations, integer values.

def transform(self, x, k):

Transforms the input vector x by taking it to a power, which is zero (no transform) or odd-numbered.
