Mandelbrot (Built in)
This is a built in version of the standard Mandelbrot set: the most well 
known fractal type. Although it is calculated by a simple formula, it is 
incredibly complex. As you zoom in, more and more ever changing 
detail becomes visible, such as little "baby" Mandelbrot sets and all 
kinds of spirals.
Because the Mandelbrot set lends itself well to basic zooming and 
exploring, it is a good starting point if you are new to fractals.
The formula provides the following parameters:
For the standard Mandelbrot set, this should be set to (0, 0). Other values 
create distorted shapes that can be interesting, but they are usually not as 
Starting point
well formed as the standard set. Try (0,  0.6), for example.
Specifies the magnitude of z that will cause the formula to stop iterating. To 
obtain the "true" Mandelbrot set, this should be set to 4 or larger. Larger 
values tend to smooth the outside areas. 
Bailout value
With the 
Basic
 coloring algorithm and the 
Color Density
 set to 4, try the bail 
out values 4 and then 16 to see the difference.
Some coloring algorithms require specific bail out values for good results.
Notes

There is also a version of the Mandelbrot set as a normal formula (not built in). Although it is 
less efficient, it offers more options, and it is better at handling very large bail out values.

The Mandelbrot set also acts as a map of 
Julia sets
. Use

 to switch to related 
Julia sets.
