=== The Problem?===

To see if Haskell can be used for rendering iterated fractal systems.
Some personal inspiration: http://timstraubinger.tumblr.com

===The Something Extra?===

Since Haskell is side-effect free, our in-depth aspect will be looking at how to create a visual display of the fractal system


===Outcome===

We developed a system for rendering a Mandelbrot fractal onto a bitmap file. Haskell proved to be very useful for this task, especially by allowing for concise list manipulation, and for being able to directly pass in functions that assign colour onto a pixel as arguments to the render function. Below are some example outputs.
