#pixel (predefined symbol)

Type	Readable	Writeable	Constant
complex	Always, except in global sections	In transformations	No

This predefined symbol returns the complex fractal coordinates of the pixel currently being calculated. Transformations can change the pixel value based upon its previous value to transform the image. Note that #pixel is expressed in the fractal coordinate space which depends on the current center and magnification settings, unlike #x, #y and #screenpixel which use the screen coordinate space.

Example:

complex c = #pixel

See #z for an example on the usage of #pixel.

Note: this predefined symbol is also accessible without the # prefix, for Fractint compatibility.
