Completely new to Ultrafractal.

Is it possible (and if so, in a simple way) to do black and white (no gradient) scatter plots for Julia sets with Mandelbrot parameters (i.e. constant offset) as input (ideally selecting from a Mandelbrot plot)?

And is it possible to adjust "dot size" for that in a reasonable way? Background: The goal is to have these printed, and pure dots on big resolutio

In the formula editor, if I open up a Replace Box with Ctrl-H and try to paste into one of the lines inside the box with Ctrl-V, the replacement text goes into the formula at the cursor position instead of into the Replace Box.

This is not the behavior that I had expected

Hi,
I'm addicted with this new combination that i have discovered, here's another one, a different zoom of Newton Mask, i'm thinking to explore this formula and maybe create a new one exploring the Point of Source method in Slope 3D Enhanced III, it's the first time that i use this method in Slope and with Newton formula is perfect.
I will explore more

Request: Better control over periodicity checking.


Currently, periodicity checking is controlled by a limited set of options: "off, rough, normal, conservative". I don't know how it is implemented, but I am guessing some orbit distance threshold preset table or similarly.

I work with fractals that are very sensitive to the periodicity checking, yet turning it off altogether would real

Is it possible to display the colors of a gradient on a layer. just as they are displayed in the editor ?
Layer would be identical to gradient colors.

When I'm browsing formulas, it's very helpful that UF calculates and shows thumbnails of each possible formula.

There are also drop-down lists in many formulas, such as the built-in Function list (sin, sinh, asin, ...). It would be very helpful if UF could show calculate and show thumbnails of each choice.

Not easy to implement, but as long as I'm dreaming ...

I saw a painting by Bridget Riley (see https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/new-exhibit-showcases-mind-bending-art-bridget-riley-180980563/) and wondered what I could make that would be similar. It’s clearly a case of adding waves to horizontal lines.

The Waves transform can be used to generate interesting patterns or textures. The left third of the strip is the image from Group 1 of the upr below; it is the difference of two layers. The middle third is from Group 2, which is the difference of three layers. The right third is the difference of the two Groups. (I made the strip from three separate images using the FastStone Image Viewer.)

The ResultIndex function of a GradientColoring formula returns a value for #index, an index into the gradient. The #index has useful values from 0 to 1. If #index is outside [0,1], 0 is used.

If Repeat Gradient is checked, positive values greater than one are reduced to [0,1]. For example, 3.7 becomes 0.7, which is in range. However, negative values of #index are still replaced by 0.

I recently noticed that the ampersand character & seems to be ignored in the caption of a parameter, although it shows up properly in the caption or text of a heading.

Try something like

caption = "this & that"

When the formula is invoked, the & shows up in the heading, but no

The usual place would be

Hello,

I have been working with a formula for a while, which I have been calling Mandalamandelbrot and Mandaljulia, because it creates nice patters with circular symmetries depending on the location and parameters used. Here are a few examples:

When writing formulas, I frequently make errors that the compiler finds. The compiler then moves the insertion mark to the location of the first error that it finds. The insertion mark is somewhere on the current page, but it's not easy to see.

I'd like an option in Preferences to make the insertion mark more visible. Perhaps larger, or a different shape, or a different color.
