Loop in a coloring algorithm

Hi all,

In some coloring algorithm there is a loop, (for instance in the Gaussian integer algorithm)

loop:
iter=iter+1
temp2=#z
......
final:

I want to know when this part is executed.
Is it added at the loop of the formula, for instance Mandelbrot formula?

Thank you

That loop is actually driven by the formula; it loops until either the bailout condition is met or it has been iterated maxiters times. On each iteration, the "loop" section of the coloring algorithm is executed once, with the current value of #z. That way, the coloring algorithm can process the entire orbit.
