Description: This is a program which generates the Mandelbrot fractal set of a given width and height
        for a given number of iterations.
        
        It uses Pillow, the Python Imaging Library fork to render the image and save it to a file.
        
        Sample Usage.
        
        
        To see all command line arguments, pass -h to the program.
        
        $ mandelbrot -h
        usage: mandelbrot [-h] [-W WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT] [-n NITER] [-o OUTPUT]
        
        Mandelbrot fractal generator
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -W WIDTH, --width WIDTH
                                Width of the image
          -H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
                                Height of the image
          -n NITER, --niter NITER
                                Number of iterations
          -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                                Name of output image file
        
        By default, the program generates a mandelbrot fractal image of size 640x480 pixels to a file named mandelbrot.png for 1000 iterations to a file named mandelbrot.png .
        
        
        $ mandelbrot
        Creating mandelbrot set with size 640x480, #iterations=1000
        
        Here is an example of creating an image of size 1280x720 pixels with 5000 iterations and saving it to
        mandelbrot_big.png 
        
        $ mandelbrot -W 1280 -H 720 -n 5000 -o mandelbrot_big.png
        
        The package also includes the 'mandelbrot_mp' program which uses PyMP to improve performance by
        parallel execution on multiple cores in the machine if available. The command line arguments remain the same.
