Twist

The Twist transformation adds a twisted spiral to the fractal. It distorts a 

small part of the fractal in the form of a spiral, like a vortex.

The center, strength, and size of the vortex are adjustable. This 

transformation is often combined with the 

Ripples

 transformation to 

obtain interference effects.

The following parameters are available:

Specifies the center of the twisted spiral. Use the

the fractal window.
