Here are some pars (attached) from a variation of the Lyapunov fractal type, which has long been a favourite of mine - I asked for the variation so as to have more control over its parameters, and sometimes you get exactly what you wish for. These have quite a strong space/SF theme, and look great rendered as large as possible. Is there any *full-colour* freeware fractal programme which can handle such "homemade" as formula files as opposed to Fractint's "hard-wired" ones, and Fractint-type .par files as well? I'd really like to see these without the banding that the 256-colour map gives.

Ps NB This attached text and the next one want to be cut and pasted into Notebook or your equivalent text editor, then saved as TLYA2010.PAR ; then it can all be run in Fractint. Also, save the two formulae, Lyapunov02 and 07 (everything after frm:) deleting the "frm:" in each case, into a separate .frm file, called LyaVars.frm or whatever.
