Predefined Parameters : Escapetime

Fractal type Escapetime offers several predefined parameters, partially depending on the formula type. These parameters provide a way to access some seettings outside a formula context, for example the rotation angle or the screen resolution.

Please note: Different fractal types (currently Escapetime and Quaternion) offer different predefined parameters.

The following parameters exist:
