yet another fractal generator...

[qWord]

In the attachment a small weekend goody 

Runtime requirements: Windows Vista+, SSE3
Building requirements: MASMv8+ and latest MASM32 SDK

Usage:
Use the left mouse button for dragging the view (remarks that it takes time to calculate the image) or, if the control-key is down, to select a range to zoom in. The mouse wheel is used for zooming in and out.
Keys:
 - VK_R: recalculate fractal image
 - VK_O: restore original zoom
 - VK_C: open gradient-tool window
Tool window: the handholds for the colors can be dragged with the mouse. A right mouse click opens the context menu (insert/delete/sel.color).

The d2d1.dll can't be found.
I have the directx sdk with the d2d1.lib .h but not .dll.
Is it another pleasure of microsoft who say "you haven't buy my last system"  ?

Hi qWord,

works fine under Windows 7-64 and very fast. Well done. Thank you for the sources, too.  :t

Yep. Unfortunately, this seems to work only in WindowsVista and above. I couldn´t find the d2d1.dll for winxp yet.

Anyway, if someone  wants some examples in C) for d2d  i found some on the developer´s site
