Parameters - pixelcolor

Name: pixelcolor

Type: color

Read/Write: Read/Write

Context: Coloring

Description:

This predefined variable is similar to the variable index: It lets you specify the color of the current pixel. You can use either the index variable or the pixelcolor variable, but within one formula you may not mix these two variables.

The pixelcolor variable allows you to directly specify the color of the current pixel. In case you want to use the gradient of the fractal which is defined by the current palette, then please use the gradient function.
