I have just uploaded Simple Switch Formula to jlb.ufm. By default it calls my SwitchCombo plugin in the new library, jlb.ulb. This allows generating new combinations of formulas; all of them allow switching from Mandelbrot-type mode to Julia-type mode or vice versa with the F7 key or pressing the Switch Mode icon on the toobar. Both divergent and convergent formulas, or some of each, can be used.

Hi All,
Sorry but this month there were no fractals on this forum.
All others can be found at the cloud of Microsoft:

Hello all,
I'm finally checking out UF6, and the deep zoom is amazingly fast! I've run into a question, though. In a lot of my older fractals, I used Lyapunov coloring layers in deep(ish) zooms. When I load some of those old parameters into UF6, it looks like Lyapunov stops working at the deeper levels of magnification. I used to fix that by manually adjusting the Additional Precision.

I'm making some formulas that can nest and the parameter names get hard to see because the left part of the panel isn't wide enough. When I widen the panel, only the right part of the panel gets widened, not the left part, the part that I want widened. Here's the standard panel width:

Trying to print out one of the fractals I created. What is the recommendation for printing.
I would like to print something like a 30x20 in size.
Can anyone give me some tips on what export settings and to what type of file would work best?
Thanks in advance!

Is there an emacs mode file for editing UF formulas?
Is there a practical maximum zoom magnification for the Mandelbrot formula with perturbation? UF is not optimized for deep zooms, but I'm curious.
Who's gone deep? The one I'm looking at now is E120 so far, using about 150,000 iterations, and all seems well.
(This question arose because of the video of a zoom to E2011, made using Kalles Fraktaler, https://fractalforums.org/fractal-movie-

I think it's a bug?
Why, when rendering, I write that I want for instance an 600 x 400 at 72 dpi and png, I obtain an image 600x400 but at 28 dpi?
I must resize with my favorite photopaint
What shall I have to do?
I see it is not the same with jpeg files where I obtain for the same parameters a 300 dpi picture?....
Thanks
I was wondering if there would be some way the user could control just how "smooth" smooth interpolation keyframes are, as in, how flat or narrow the peak is. The reason I am interested in this is because sometimes, even with smooth interpolation, the resulting animation ends up being too fast.
This may be through something analogous to keyframe handles in Adobe After Effects. Or perhaps an

Hi!
Chris Martin suggested looking at the subject formula. And, I did.
The formula has three types of parameters: general, branch hi, and branch lo.
I looked in Help but found no documentation about the formula.
Where can I look?

Hi!
I am a newbie using Ultra Fractal 6.02 (64-bit).
I created a fractal 800 px (w) by 600 px (h) at 600 PPI.
When I render the fractal to disc, these are the specs:
File Format: JPG
Width: 1,600 px
Height: 1,200 px
Res: 600 PPI
Forced Linear Drawing Method: Checked
But when I opened the JPG in Corel PSP, the image was rendered at 72 PPI. Why?

Hi!
I am a newbie using Ultra Fractal 6.02 (64-bit) and just started going through the Tutorials.
Q# 1. Is the default image size of all fractals 800 (w) by 600 (h) at 300 PPI?
Q # 2. At the end of the day, I want to render JPG images 16 inches (w) by 12 inches (h) at 300 PPI for giclee printing. How does the above size relate to the final rendering?

Hello all,
Been a great long while - I've not played with UF in nearly 5 years or so, and it has been possibly over 10 since I stopped working with it regularly....
I finally find myself once again able to enjoy fractal artwork, and, as such, have begun to experiment again.
It's been some time since I was here - from my reading it seems this is the new home of the once venerable UF Ma

UF reports the error "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" and is unable to connect to the database. I assume that this is a result of server reconfiguration? Is there a way around this other than installing the update manually?
Thanks.

I've noticed something recently that has caused me some unwelcome extra work, although now that I've pinned it down I can take care to avoid it. I thought I would just mention the issue here in case it's something that needs attention.
The issue concerns the dragging of a Group to a new fractal window. It occurs in both UF5 and UF6 and can be 100% reproduced by doing the following:

I've got a series of Julia seed values that I've carefully keyframed, and now I want these keyframes to repeat because the first/last keyframes are the same and it will loop. I'm trying to find an easy way to copy this set of keyframes and paste over and over adding more keyframes... Can someone help? Thanks! I tried doing it in the timeline editor but couldn't get it to work...
In one of my formulas there is a parameter that is required to be non-negative. If I put in a negative value, a sound plays and the parameter is not changed. Perhaps a message flashes on the bottom line of the window, but if it does, it's too fast to read.
This can be confusing to the user. A message like "Parameter out of bounds" would help if it stayed up a few seconds.

Hi!
More about plugins …
I’ve been doing some readings about plugins and this is my interpretation of what I’ve read.
In the computer world, a plugin is a program that adds functionality to a larger program. In the context of UF, plugins add functionality to UF but are customized for particular formulas, algorithms, or transformations.
Thus, it follows that one

Hi!
To create a fractal image one could understand the relevant math (i.e., Fractal Geometry) and the functionality of the software that generates the image. The relevant math is beyond the grasp of most artists and the functionality of complex software such as Ultra Fractal is, at least initially, also beyond the grasp of most artists.
As an alternative, one could ignore the math and id

Hi!
I understand, maybe incorrectly, that a fractal image is (1) a set of numbers, generated by a formula, and displayed as POINTS, and (2) rules for coloring the POINTS.
In UF, is there a way for replacing the POINTS with SHAPES (e.g., a triangle)?
If so, how do I do it?
Thank you!
