When all pixels are Inside, the Statistics panel shows Min. iterations 0 and Max. iterations 0, and nothing on the Iterations graph. Shouldn't both of those values be #maxiter, not 0, and the graph be a vertical line?
Technically, they should. But I guess it only uses values that actually reach the bailout condition, so the histogram never receives anything.
The graph never shows inside iterations, only outside. If it did include inside, then the single peak at the far right would outshine all other histogram bins when there are 'lakes' visible.
Similarly the "Min. iterations" 0 and "Max. iterations" show informative numbers that help you find/diagnose/research aspects of the fractal, and it wouldn't be informative if they showed #maxiter when there are lakes visible.
For example, when you view the Mandelbrot at magn=1 (the entire thing), and set #maxiter=10,000,000,000, the "Max iterations" might show something like "10943", indicating that a #maxiter of that value would have sufficed.
The graph never shows inside iterations, only outside. If it did include inside, then the single peak at the far right would outshine all other histogram bins when there are 'lakes' visible.
Exactly my point. Points only enter the statistic if the bailout condition is met, which is not the case if #maxiter is hit instead of the bailout condition. If everything is inside, the histogram is empty.
