FracRove Features

Block nibbling

I compute the picture as an array of blocks, then compute each pixel in a block. If blocks of the same colour surround a block, then I ignore that block. It saves some time when there are large areas of the same colour. The picture below shows a partially completed area:

You can compute every pixel if you want to. Takes longer but you get perfection.

Fast computation method?

Or go faster tricks? Not yet in this release. The old DOS version had PC assembly code fast arithmetic of some 30 fractals, but now we have GHz Pentiums so it's no longer necessary. (The first fractal program I wrote took 10 hours to do a picture on an 8086 with no maths coprocessor!)

Other stuff

What else should I tell you? Right:

• You can zoom down or up.
• Move up, down, left or right from the current picture.
• Save pictures to *.bmp files on disk, or to the Clipboard.
• Choose, adjust, and build colour palettes.
• Choose one of 36 colour coding systems.
• And loads of other things too.
