Fractal Properties tool window

The Fractal Properties tool window edits global properties of the active fractal window, such as the 

size of the image, the list of layers, history, and comments.

To open the Fractal Properties tool window if it is hidden, click Tool Windows on the Window menu, 

and then click Fractal Properties.

The Fractal Properties tool window contains four tabs:

G     

The Layers tab manages the 

layers

 in the fractal. Here, you can control how the layers are 

merged together to produce the final image. The properties of individual layers are edited by 

the 

Layer Properties

 tool window.

G     

The Image tab specifies the dimensions of the fractal window. It is important to remember 

that the fractal window is really only a preview. Use the 

Render to Disk

 feature to create final 

images at any size, independent of the size of the fractal window. See also

G     

The History tab shows the previous states of the fractal. It allows you to go back any 

number of steps in time, without recalculations. See 

Fractal history list

.

G     

The Comments tab provides a space for you to type comments on the fractal, such as 

copyright information. It also contains the credits list that automatically tracks the artists 

that have worked on the fractal, so everyone receives proper credit.

For more information on a specific control, click the help button in the title bar of the tool window, 

and then click the control, or move the mouse over the control while the 

Fractal Mode

 tool window is 

open.
