And now for the main question, related to the latter several of the pars below: With this Lyapunov type in passes=o, why can I not zoom in further than about 1 and still see something being rendered on the screen?
It helps to use periodicity=0. Also, both the displayed area and the calculation area are zooming together. This will be fixed, with the appropriate switch setting, in the next patch. Remember that you can't actually zoom into the passes=o image. You are zooming into the passes=1 image and displaying the orbits as passes=o.
A further question - sorry, but I've just discovered digital printing of fractals as actual photographs here in the Republic of Georgia, maximum size 290 x 465 mm and 300 dpi. Passes=o, t and possibly other unusual rendering modes don't work in Disk/Ram Video sizes. Any chance of getting this changed? A large Buddahbrot would look STUNNING, for example.
The passes=g, b, & t, use a buffer with a size limit of 2048 bytes. This is not easy to fix, otherwise it would already have been done. I'll have to look at passes=o to see if there would be any problem, other than thrashing your hard disk, that would prevent going above the current limit of 2048x2048. Jonathan
