Switch mode
The mouse mode determines what happens when you click inside the fractal window. In Switch 
mode, a mouse click switches between related fractal types.
To enter Switch mode, click Switch Mode on the Fractal menu, or make sure the Switch Mode 
button on the toolbar is down.
Switching is typically used with 
Mandelbrot
 and 
Julia
 like fractals. The Mandelbrot set is actually a 
map of Julia sets. Each point in the Mandelbrot set corresponds to a unique Julia set. The shape of 
this Julia set reminds of the immediate surroundings of the corresponding point in the Mandelbrot 
set.
If you enter Switch mode while looking at a Mandelbrot set and move the mouse cursor over the 
fractal window, the 
Fractal Mode
 tool window shows a preview of the corresponding Julia set. Click to 
open a new fractal window with this Julia set, so you can further explore it.
Notes 
G     
Sometimes the preview remains static while you are moving the mouse cursor. In this case, 
the fractal is not a map of the fractal to switch to, for example when you are working with a 
Julia set. Just click anywhere to switch to the corresponding Mandelbrot set.
G     
If the fractal has multiple layers, Ultra Fractal uses the active layer for switching.
G     
The Mouse tab in the Options dialog contains several options for Switch mode, such as the 
option to open the Julia set in the same fractal window, to copy the coloring of the original 
fractal, and so on.
G     
The fractal formula contains switch settings that control how Switch mode works. Refer to 
the 
compiler documentation
 if you want to add switching support to your own formulas.
