Fractal of the Week for March 3, 1998

Twist Circus

This is a Julia set rendered with an orbit trap. The orbit trap is a square, and the trapped points are further subdivided into two regions depending on whether the trapped point is closer to the real or the imaginary axis. In this image, a red and a green gradient are used for the two regions. Here is an 832 X 624 rendering of the image. For those who want to use this as a screen image and need 800 X 600, this image can be cropped to that size without any significant loss. A parameter file is also available.

I also provide an alterenate coloring; in that one, a yellow gradient is used for both regions, but the gradient ramps up for one region, down for the other region.
