Julia Fractals Tutorial - "Symetry Changes"

As you may have noticed from most of my fractals, I like symmetry. But whether you like asymmetrical or symmetrical images, the parameters you can change here will help you discover a new world of fractals!

The fractal you see here is the result of my Julia zoom. This rather chaotic image does not have that much appeal to me, so I will first start by trying to create a more symmetrical form. This is accomplished by changing the Julia "Y" dimensions under parameters. To access this menu, RIGHT click your mouse over your image and select "Fractal Parameters".

You should now see this example of the parameter window.

(This is not the whole window but the part we will be using. I have reduced the window to facilitate faster download times)

Notice where the cursor is pointed to, the "Julia Y" field. From what I have discovered, the higher this number the less symetrical the image. The lower the number, the more symmetrical. This may not be universal but I think you will find that generally this is the case.

We will now change this parameter to a lower number to achive more symetry. I have changed the "2" and the "7" to zero in the Julia "Y" field.
