2.44 Mandelcloud
(type=mandelcloud)
This fractal computes the Mandelbrot function, but displays it
differently. It starts with regularly spaced initial pixels and
displays the resulting orbits. This idea is somewhat similar to the
Dynamic System (p. 75).
There are two options that have unusual effects on this fractal. The
Orbit Delay value controls how many initial points are computed before
the orbits are displayed on the screen. This allows the orbit to settle
down. The outside=summ option causes each pixel to increment color
every time an orbit touches it; the resulting display is a 2-d
histogram.
This fractal was invented by Noel Giffin.
