	Zooming in on the point (-0.3006818,0.6600910). (c 16 MB)
	Zooming in on the point (0.27322626,0.595153338). (c 7.5 MB)
	Zooming in on the point (-0.15550494345, 0.65017043818). This animation contains 62 frame and is just under 10MB.
	Zooming in on (0.42661603, 0.217772923) This is a smaller animation as the frame size is only 320x240. The file size is about 3.5MB.
	An animation zooming in on the point (-1.2583585, 0.3821136), demonstrating the star colouring algorithm. Click here for another 'Stars' animation.
	Three animations showing the effects of varying Z₀ in the Mandelbrot image. Increasing Z0 along the imaginary axis Increasing Z0 along the real axis. Detail showing the fate of the mini-Mandelbrot around c = (-1.775,0) The file sizes are respectively 500KB, 650KB and 1.1MB. The third one has many more frames than the other two and shows some interesting effects. High resolution images of some of the frames can be seen on the Mandelbrot Code page.
	Another series generated by varying Z₀ in the Mandelbrot set. This starts at python mandelbrotdriver.py -tM -i500 -c(-1.748366,0.003) -z(0,0.2570) -s400x320 -fv02570 -m500 and increments Z₀ by (0,0.0002) up to python mandelbrotdriver.py -tM -i500 -c(-1.748368,0.003) -z(0,0.2660) -s400x320 -fv02660 -m500

These animations are created by first generating a sequence of bitmaps using the code on the Mandelbrot page, converting them to GIFs (using Paintshop Pro) and then using the GIF animator to combine them.

Some of these examples are quite small and jumpy to keep the file size down. With the code you can create much smoother and more detailed ones, though you'll need a lot of time and disc space.
