A formula as simple as Z^2+Z+C will merely shift the M-set around, while leaving it otherwise unchanged.

The ears and melting feet are what happens when Z is initialized to zero. To see the little fellow moved around while remaining otherwise unchanged, set the starting point of Z to -0.5 which is the critical point of the formula Z^2+Z. The MandelbrotMix4 formula automatically initializes Z to a critical point of the formula being calculated. Jim M.
