colordepth

Iterations: Defines the maximum number of cycles to compute. The more iterations performed, the more complete the final image will be, but the longer the computation.

a,b,c,d: Adjusts the four coefficients that define the attractor shape.

Brightness: Adjusts the brightness of the attractor.

Gamma: Adjusts the midtones of the attractor.

Diffusion: Controls the diffusion of the attractor. Similar to a scattering / blurring effect.

Axis: Specifies which axis to plot the attractor on.

Rnd: Randomizes the coefficients and generates a new fractal.

Color A: Defines attractor color A.

Swap: Swaps color A with color B.

Color B: Defines attractor color B.

Rnd: Generates random attractor colors.

Coloring Mode: Specifies the coloring mode. Single color uses color A. Double color uses color A & B. Double color maps the darker areas to color A and the brighter areas to color B. Spectral uses the full color spectrum using the HSL colorspace.
