Plane

Syntax:(plane integer)

All fractals displayed by XaoS are functions with a complex parameter. They can be be displayed in the normal complex plane where the x coordinate is the real part of the number and the y is imaginary; but they can also be displayed differently:

mu

Normal complex plane (default)

1/mu

Inversion--infinity is at 0 and 0 is at infinity.

1/(mu+0.25)

Similar to inversion, but moves the center outside the Mandelbrot set, so it looks parabolic.

lambda plane, 1/lambda, 1/lambda-1

Lambda plane and its inversion, and with a different center.

1/(mu-1.40115)

A very interesting mode for the Mandelbrot set, this makes small things large, for easier browsing of the set's details.

In the scripting language, the planes are numbered as follows:

0

mu

1

1/mu

2

1/(mu+0.25)

3

lambda

4

1/lambda

5

1/(lambda-1)

6

1/(mu-1.40115)
