Filler viewers are dummy viewers which are visible if no other viewers are on the screen (both in the user track as well as in the system track). Then the remaining dektop (= the filler viewers) are painted with Mandlebrot sets. You can zoom into the figures by selecting a rectangular area with the left mouse (you can interrupt the selection by interclicking all three mouse buttons). You can restore the initial figure by pressing the setup button.
The drawings are performed by a background task. Your system should remain as interactive as you are used to it. If your keyboard or mouse input is not as responsive as usual you should lower the number of regions painted in one go.
To decode CrazyFillers execute the decode command below!
To compile the CrazyFiller use:
Compiler.Compile CrazyFiller.Mod ~
To install the CrazyFiller use:
CrazyFiller.InstallCrazy
To revert to the default filler use:
CrazyFiller.InstallDefault
You can set the number of iterations done for each dot:
CrazyFiller.SetMaxIter (^ | number)
Standard:
CrazyFiller.SetMaxIter 100
To improve the accuracy (especially if zoomed) try:
CrazyFiller.SetMaxIter ^ 100 200 300 400 500 1000
You can set the number of regions to be painted in one go:
CrazyFiller.SetRegsPerCycle (^ | number)
Standard:
CrazyFiller.SetRegsPerCycle 20
To improve responsiveness try:
CrazyFiller.SetRegsPerCycle ^ 20 15 10 5 2
You can see the parameters used to compute the Mandelbrot set:
CrazyFiller.ShowParams
