\subsubsection*{\bf Xmandel}

\begin{itemize}
 \item {\bf Name:} xmandel, pxmandel  

 \item {\bf Location:} /usr/local/x11/xmandel


 \item {\bf Type:} Demonstration program.

 \item {\bf Characterization:} 
       X11 interface for generating and colouring Mandelbrot and Julia sets.
       There is a sequential program (xmandel) as well as a parallel
       program (pxmandel) available, that can be used for demonstrating
       the speed-up achievable by parallel computation.

 \item {\bf Functions:}     % Description of the main features of the 
                        % sw-p.
                        % This should include the following subtopics:
       \begin{itemize}
        \item {Invocation:}  {\tt xmandel}, {\tt pxmandel \verb+<no. of processors>+}
        \item {Termination:} Quit Button 
        \item {Help:}        {\tt man xmandel} % How to get help.
        \item {Example:}     {\tt pxmandel 16 -geometry 400x450+450+0 \verb+&+} \\
                             Creates a window that is a little smaller than 
                             half of the monitor size. The parallel
                             computation is 
                             started by clicking at the `Mandelbrot' or 
                             `Julia' button. 

                             {\tt ~pardemo/pxdemo} \\
                             Starts two windows: One for sequential
                             computation and one for parallel computation
                             on 16 processors. This shell script is highly
                             recommended for demos!
  
                             {\bf Note:} Don't move the cursor inside the 
                             pictures while they are computed! 
        \item {Other important functions:}  By clicking at the zoom button and
                                            then at a part of the picture, this
                                            part will be zoomed and recomputed.
       \end{itemize}

 \item {\bf Installation:} Don't forget to set your DISPLAY environment 
                           variable before starting the program.

 \item {\bf Manuals:}       % Name, location and version of the manuals for this
                            % sw-p.
 
\end{itemize}
