Method Detail

Init

public complex Init(complex pz)

Description copied from class: DivergentFormula

Set up for a sequence of values

This function will be called at the beginning of each sequence of values (e.g. at the beginning of each fractal orbit).

Overrides:

Init in class DivergentFormula

Parameters:

pz - seed value for the sequence; for a normal fractal formula, this will be #pixel

Returns:

first value in the sequence; this corresponds to #z in a fractal formula

Iterate

public complex Iterate(complex pz)

Description copied from class: Formula

Produce the next value in the sequence

As long as the sequence has not bailed out, this function will be continually called to produce sequence values.

Overrides:

Iterate in class Formula

Parameters:

pz - previous value in the sequence; corresponds to #z in a fractal formula. Note that you should always use this value for computing the next iteration, rather than a saved value, as the calling code may modify the returned value before passing it back to the next Iterate() call.

Returns:

the next value in the sequence
