This is the project I'm using to learn Go. As such, it's focus is trying and learning the language more than being usable by anyone else.

Here's some images I posted to Mastodon:

Plane Mapping

• ComplexPoint — A point in the complex plane.
• ImagePoint — A point in the raster image.

The image plane has its origin (0, 0) in the top left corner. The complex plane has it's origin (0+0i) in the center. Increasing x and r (real) both go to the right. However, increasing y and i (imaginary) move opposite directions: x goes down and i goes up.

A "view" of a plane is a rectangle defined by its min and max points. Since y and i have their min/max points flipped, the view of the image plane is defined by (top-left, bottom-right) while the view of the complex plane is defined by (bottom-left, top-right).

x	y	<->	r	i
0	0		-r_max	+i_max
0	y_max		-r_max	-i_max
x_max	0		+r_max	+i_max
x_max	y_max		+r_max	-i_max
x_max/2	y_max/2		0	0
