  • Threads, lets you set the number of threads, nxn, in a 2-dimensional grid.
    The drawing process will split in parallel drawing pieces.
    You need to use the same or more threads than your computer's processors.

  • Greedy Drawing Algorithms, lets you enable some algorithms that calculate only
    some parts of the image, either by tracing the boundaries or using divide and conquer.
    These algorithms can significally speedup the drawing process, but they can introduce errors.
    Some customization options are also provided to visualize the effect of the algorithms.

  • Periodicity Checking, detects periodical orbits, so the iterating process can escape from them
    in fewer iterations, speeding up the drawing. It is recommended to use this option when the image
    contains alot of bounded areas and you are using a high number of iterations.
    In the opposite case the drawing will be slowed down.
    While using this option, In Coloring Mode options will be disabled.

  • Quick Draw Tiles, lets you set the size of the tile.
    This size affects the zooming with mouse Scroll, Moving with Ctrl + Left Mouse Click, and
    Rotating with Shift + Left Mouse Click. The higher the tile size, the quicker the image
    renders, as less calculation are being performed at the expense of lesser image
    quality.
