Jim, In your FOTD for Feb 16th, 2014 I thought that the repeated magenta bands might have been created by carefully repeating short identical runs in the color map. Not so! Investigation with Fractint's color editor showed that it was the fractal itself creating the magenta and gray banding in the 16 slanting arms. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ######################## --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
