Description
This was created with a plugin I wrote for Apo2.07 that I'll probably call "juliaf" or "juliac". The plugin allows for the creation of the boundaries of julia sets whose generating formulas contain fractional exponents (instead of just integer exponents as in julian). It uses the inverse iteration algorithm. Complex numbers (c+di) can also be used as exponents (see this site ), but I didn't use an imaginary component in this picture. I also used a final transform that Michael and Joel Faber have been working on (I stole this off the svn; I hope thats ok (I'll take this down if not)).
I'm not sure what the procedure is for sharing plugins. This plugin works for me but I don't want to screw up someone else's apophysis, and I think this one could use some optimization anyway. Does anyone know how to go about this?
Download is 1440x900 and criticism is welcome as always.

I really like this green. The plugin development sounds a bit complex, but good luck with it.

Lime and kiwi fruit martini! Love the blast of fresh green - looks like an interesting addition to the Julia family

Thanks IDeviant. Its been doing some weird things (which does make it kind of interesting

Perhaps there'd be a way by identifying the gradient bands and assigning the colours manually? I can imagine a trial-and-error method using a black gradient with a single white band and rotating to note at which points the structure pick up the white.

I think the problem is that the color index is incremented after every transform. I think I would need to color each point based on how fast it approached infinite (which means I couldn't use reverse iteration or IFS). I may be completely wrong on this though, and I would like to be able to do what you are describing anyway for other things.

Copy and paste the following into the gradient window, drag the Rotate scrollbar to the left (-128) then use the right scroll button. It's especially useful when symmetry's been applied, or when the colours aren't fully distributed:
tester {
gradient:
title="tester" smooth=no
index=0 color=0
index=199 color=0
index=200 color=16777215
index=202 color=0
index=399 color=0
}

Interesting! It's always a bonus if you've used your own programming.
The bottom row reminds me of coctail drinks.
That said, I'm don't like the color range that much. It's green with only a tiny hint of yellow and cyan at a few places. It's hazy. There are lots of intricate details but they are lost because it's green on green.

Wonderful work with this! I love the amount of pattern put into this! And the green is nicely vibrant- it really gives me the feel of plantlife!
