Original image

Filter “Fractal Trace” applied

This filter transforms the image with the Mandelbrot fractal: it maps the image to the fractal.

This filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Map → Fractal trace.

#### 12.4.3. Options

Figure 16.244. “Fractal trace” filter options

Mandelbrot parameters

X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Depth

  These parameters are similar to X/YMIN, X/YMAX and ITER parameters of the Fractal Explorer filter. They allow you to vary fractal spreading and detail depth.

Outside type

  Mapping image to fractal may reveal empty areas. You can select to fill them with Black, White, Transparency or make what disappears on one side reappear on the opposite side with Wrap option.
