A .MXAD file is a Mandelbrot Explorer All Data File, created by J R Oakley.

Open with Mandelbrot Explorer. Available for Windows.

What is a .MXAD file?

The .MXAD file extension stands for a Mandelbrot Explorer All Data File. This type of file is used by a software called Mandelbrot Explorer, which is designed to create and display images of fractals, specifically the Mandelbrot Set and Julia Set. These are complex mathematical images that show repeating patterns at every scale.

A .MXAD file contains all the necessary details to recreate a fractal image. This includes the type of fractal, the specific coordinates on the fractal, and the resolution of the image, which tells you how detailed the picture will be. Additionally, it stores information about the colors used in the image, such as whether it is in black and white, shades of gray, or full color. The file is saved in an XML format, which is a way of storing data in a structured, readable form.

To view or edit .MXAD files, you need to use the Mandelbrot Explorer program. This software allows you to see the fractal images and adjust various parameters to explore different parts of the fractal or change how it looks.

Moreover, if you want to save the fractal images you have created or modified in Mandelbrot Explorer, you can export them into common image formats like .BMP, .JPG, .GIF, and .PNG. This is done by going to the "File" menu in the program and selecting "Save Image." It's important to note that .MXAD files combine the data that would otherwise be stored in two separate files, .MXCS (which stores color scheme data) and .MXFR (which stores fractal parameters), into a single file. This makes managing your fractal projects easier since all related settings and styles are kept together.
