Fractal Fuctions Menu Help

From Fractal Zoomer

Fractal Functions Menu

  • Mandelbrot Type Menu, contains some of the mandelbrot type variations.

  • Formulas Menu, contains some of the formulas created by fractal enthusiasts.

  • Lambda, lets you change the function to .

  • Magnet Type Menu, contains the magnet type variations.

  • Root Finding Methods Menu, lets you use some iterative methods to find the roots of a function.

  • Barnsley Type Menu, contains the barnsley type variations.

  • Szegedi Butterfly Type Menu, contains the szegedi butterfly type variations.

  • Nova, lets you set the function to one of the root finding methods,

    Newton:

    Halley:

    Schroder:

    Householder:

    Secant: ,

    Steffensen: ,

    Muller: ,

    Parhalley: ,

    Laguerre: ,


    where . The exponent and the relaxation are given by the user.
    The famous Nova fractal can be obtained by setting the initial value to 1 + 0i.
    While using the Nova function, Bailout Conditions, Bailout, and Periodicity Checking
    options will be disabled.

  • Spider, lets you change the function to , .

  • Manowar, lets you change the function to , , .

  • Phoenix, lets you change the function to , , ,
    where .

  • Sierpinski Gasket, lets you change the function to

    .
    While using this function Periodicity Checking, Perturbation, Initial Value, Julia, and Julia Map
    options will be disabled.

  • Frothy Basin, lets you change the function to .

  • Math Library Type Menu, contains the math library type variations.

  • User Formulas Type Menu, lets you define your own formulas.

    Most of the above functions follow the same pattern, excluding Root Finding Methods and
    Magnet functions. A pixel will either stay bounded (norm < bailout), or it will escape to infinity
    (norm >= bailout).

    While using any function, except Mandelbrot, Distance Estimator option will be disabled.
