Constant Imaginary Text

This is the imaginary component of the consatnt (a complex number).  For Julia fractals, this represents a location along the vertical axis.  Enter the value in this box.

Constant Real Text

This is the real component of the constant (a complex number).  For Julia fractals, this represents a location along the horizontal axis.  The value may be entered in this box.

Center Imaginary Text

This is the imaginary component of the center (a complex number).  For Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals, this represents a location along the vertical axis.  The value may be entered in this box.

Center Real Text

This is the real component of the center (a complex number).  For Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals, this represents a location along the horizontal axis.  Enter the value in this box.

Freedom Text

This is the value which the value of the iterative fractal equations must reach to be assigned a color other than black.  Enter the value in this box.

Accuracy Text

This item is the maximum number of iterations for the fractal to process before conceding that the fractal will never reach its “freedom” value.  Enter the value in this box.

Constant Imaginary

This is the imaginary component of the consatnt (a complex number).  For Julia fractals, this represents a location along the vertical axis.  The value may be entered in the text box to the right.

Constant Real

This is the real component of the constant (a complex number).  For Julia fractals, this represents a location along the horizontal axis.  The value may be entered in the text box to the right.

Constant

This is a complex value which is a constant for the Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals.  It is a variable (and the center of the display) for the Julia set.  Note that a complex number has both real and imaginary parts.

Center Imaginary

This is the imaginary component of the center (a complex number).  For Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals, this represents a location along the vertical axis.  The value may be entered in the text box to the right.

Center Real

This is the real component of the center (a complex number).  For Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals, this represents a location along the horizontal axis.  The value may be entered in the text box to the right.

Center

This is a complex value which is the picture center (and variable) for the Mandelbrot and Dragon fractals.  For the Julia set, this is held constant.  Note that a complex number has both real and imaginary parts.

Freedom

This is the value which the value of the iterative fractal equations must reach to be assigned a color other than black.  The desired value may be entered in the editable text box to the right.

Accuracy

This item is the maximum number of iterations for the fractal to process before conceding that the fractal will never reach its “freedom” value.  Enter the desired maximum in the editable text box to the right.

General Parameters Dialog

This dialog box permits the modification of Mandelbrot, Julia, and Dragon parameters.  Changing these values leads to different fractal images.
