FRACTINT.DOC has instructions for adding new formulas to this file.
There are several hard-coded restrictions in the formula interpreter:
1) The fractal name through the open curly bracket must be on a single line.
2) There is a hard-coded limit of 200 formulas per formula file, only
because of restrictions in the prompting routines.
3) Formulas can containt at most 250 operations (references to variables and
arithmetic); this is bigger than it sounds, no formula in the default
fractint.frm uses even 100
3) Comment blocks can be set up using dummy formulas with no formula name
or with the special name "comment".
The formulas at the beginning of this file are from Mark Peterson, who
built this fractal interpreter feature. The rest are grouped by contributor.
(Scott Taylor sent many but they are no longer here - they've been
incorporated as hard-coded types. Lee Skinner also sent many which have
now been hard-coded.)
Note that the builtin "cos" function had a bug which was corrected in
version 16. To recreate an image from a formula which used cos before
v16, change "cos" in the formula to "cosxx" which is a new function
provided for backward compatibility with that bug.

comment {
The following are from Chris Green:
These fractals all use Newton's or Halley's formula for approximation
of a function. In all of these fractals, p1 real is the "relaxation
coefficient". A value of 1 gives the conventional newton or halley
iteration. Values <1 will generally produce less chaos than values >1.
1-1.5 is probably a good range to try. P1 imag is the imaginary component
of the relaxation coefficient, and should be zero but maybe a small
non-zero value will produce something interesting. Who knows?
For more information on Halley maps, see "Computers, Pattern, Chaos,
and Beauty" by Pickover.
