Edwin, I'll take note of that map, I find those color transitions quite nice. I tried rotating the "test par" image and found it to have a very cool effect, a sort of strobe with changing colors moving up slowly. General question. For coloring, is there a way to force the (for a lack of a better word) pool color to not change? What I noticed during the color rotation cycle is that the background goes through the color progressions. I've always accepted that it is this way, but it might be nice to be able to lock that background into a single color. I would have liked that to remain black all through the color rotation. I don't think it can do that. Now more specifically for Edwin, is this to say that there is something Fractint can't do? That you had to write a separate program (that I being an XP head can't run)? I know a Mandelbrot can be converted into a Julia as it is. This would seem to mean that if there were an option to only rotate by a few degrees (if I've been understanding Jim Muth's talks on this) it might be able to do this. While rotating into these other planes it might even be fast enough to do it as a movie? Or at least make a movie of it by collecting snapshots quite quickly. Just some thoughts here, I'll let the experts have at it if they want. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
