Filter Fractal Trace applied


This filter transforms the image with the Mandelbrot fractal: it maps the image to the fractal.

“Fractal trace” filter options

Options

Fractal type

You choose between Mandelbrot and Julia.

X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Depth

These parameters are similar to Left, Right, Top, Bottom and Iterations parameters of the Fractal Explorer filter. They allow you to vary fractal spreading and detail depth.

JX, JY

Julia's options: TODO

Bailout length

TODO

Abyss policy

Mapping image to fractal may reveal empty areas. These options allows you to set displacement behavior on active layer or selection edges. They are described in Abyss policy

Clipping

The result of this filter can be larger than the original image. With the default Adjust option, the layer will be automatically resized as necessary when the filter is applied. With the Clip option the result will be clipped to the layer boundary.
