Method Detail

Init

public complex Init(complex pz)
Description copied from class: Formula
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 Formula
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

IsBailedOut

public boolean IsBailedOut(complex pz)
Description copied from class: Formula
Test whether the formula has bailed out (i.e. the sequence is complete)

This is typically called once per iteration to test whether the sequence has completed. If producing this result is difficult to do separately from the Iterate() processing, you should produce the result in Iterate() and set the m_BailedOut flag appropriately, and leave IsBailedOut() unimplemented in your class to inherit this behavior.

Note that this test is the OPPOSITE sense of the bailout: section in UF's fractal formulas. A bailout: section returns TRUE to continue iterating. IsBailedOut() must return FALSE to continue iterating.

Overrides:
IsBailedOut in class Formula
Parameters:
pz - last sequence value to test; this should be the value returned from the previous Iterate() call. Note that it is acceptable to ignore pz and use m_BailedOut, but any code calling IsBailedOut() should pass in the correct pz for Formula classes which do not use m_BailedOut.
Returns:
true if the sequence has bailed out (i.e. should be terminated)

GetPrimaryExponent

public complex GetPrimaryExponent()
Description copied from class: Formula
Determine the primary exponent.

Many fractals can be characterized by an exponent value that is useful to other formulas, so we provide that here. If your formula does not need or use this value, override the p_power parameter and make it hidden.

Overrides:
GetPrimaryExponent in class Formula
Returns:
the primary exponent parameter
