着色和功率归一化渲染

Mandelbrot 集渲染可以通过使用与功率归一化颜色图 (gamma=0.3) 关联的归一化重新计数来改进。由于着色，可以进一步增强渲染。

maxiter给出计算的精度。maxiter=200在大多数现代笔记本电脑上应该需要几秒钟。

    C = X + Y[:, None] * 1j
    N = np.zeros_like(C, dtype=int)
    Z = np.zeros_like(C)
    for n in range(maxiter):
        I = abs(Z) < horizon
        N[I] = n
        Z[I] = Z[I]**2 + C[I]
    N[N == maxiter-1] = 0
