Contour Palette Help Information
Pulling down this menu item opens
the Contour Palette. The Contour
Palette gives you direct control
over coloration of your Mandelbrot
and Julia pictures.
Mandelbrot and Julia pictures can
take a long time to generate. It
can also be difficult to choose the
combination of colors that best
enhances their beauty. MandelVroom
provides two functions that help
alleviate these problems.
MandelVroom allows you to change
color schemes and recolor pictures
while they are generating (thus
saving computation times). In
addition, MandelVroom gives you a
very flexible and powerful set of
tools for coloring your pictures.
MandelVroom treats a Mandelbrot or
Julia picture as a three dimensional
object. Two of the three dimensions
are the familiar horizontal and
vertical dimensions of your
project's picture window. The third
dimension represents the height (or
altitude) of each pixel.
The Contour Palette gives you a
configurable way of mapping the
third dimension (height) into color
in your project window, in a manner
similar to the one used by map
makers to represent a 3 dimensional
world on a 2 dimension sheet of
paper.
The Contour Palette allows the user
to define how to map ranges of
heights into the colors available in
the Color Palette.
To get more specific help on the
Contour Palette, open the Contour
Palette, and then use the Help item
to get help with the various gadgets.
The User's Guide (MandelVroom.doc)
discusses contours and the three
dimensional aspects of MandelVroom
in greater detail.
