The Twist transformation adds a twisted spiral to the fractal. It distorts a small part of the fractal in the form of a spiral, like a vortex. It is available as a transformation in Standard.uxf and as a transformation plug-in in Standard.ulb.
The center, strength, and size of the vortex are adjustable. This transformation is often combined with the Ripples transformation to obtain interference effects.
The following parameters are available:
| Twist Center |
Specifies the center of the twisted spiral. Use the eyedropper (right-click and click Eyedropper) to select this by clicking on a point inside the fractal window. |
| Strength |
Specifies the strength of the twist. Larger values create more strongly twisted spirals. |
| Decay Factor |
Specifies how soon the spiral loses its strength. Larger values decrease the size of the spiral. |
