Oh, sorry   :-[
This comment was not in the original script. I added it afterwards to point the trick : when variables are declared as 'local', programs run faster. It's obvious especially with fractals (I've got some samples and have tested them with other prog. languages, see there). Thus these sorts of program run up to 5 or 6 times faster and then EGSL (and consequently Lua) has no cause to be envious of some other compiled programing languages  ;)

Cybermonkey:
Good to know (with that local declaration). Although the EGSL implemented sin, cos etc. are implemented in Pascal and are compiled ...  ;)
EDIT: Hm, forget that I was talking rubbish ... The math.sin etc. are implemented in C, right? So Pascal can't be faster.

Yes. I go on  declaring them out of a bad habit, that I'v got before  I notice the EGSL helper functions, sorry !

lelldorin:
Hello All,

can i add this example as part of my EGSL IDE?

Tomaaz:
I'm not sure if you're asking about my simple library or Bereb's work, but if it's my library, feel free to use it and all my examples.

Regards!
