Instructions for operating
Face of Infinity
The operation is very simple. Basically, you choose a "
Color
Scheme", set the "Display " to "Fractal", set the "Zoom Mode" to "Mouse
click" with "Zoom In x2", position
the mouse at the point on the boundary you want to explore and begin clicking. Each
click will increase the magnification by 2X with the display centered on the point
you clicked. If "Back out" is checked, each click will walk you back through one of the previous
10 steps. Alternatively, you
can choose "Mouse Capture" and click and drag to select a new viewing region.
The current coordinates of the mouse position in terms of Real C (horizontal)
and the Imaginary part of C (vertical) as well as the current magnification are
displayed at the bottom of the window. These 3 numbers uniquely identify a particular
pattern. If you want to return to a particular pattern, the display at the bottom
of the window can be copied onto your clipboard and saved for future reference. There is
an "Auto Pilot" facility that allows you to input the coordinates of an image you
want to return to and the program will automatically take you there. (If you
don't see the Face of Infinity below you may need to install the
Silverlight plug-in
in your browser. If you're using Internet Explorer you may need to disable "Protected Mode" [Tools/Internet options/Security]
in order to use Silverlight.)
