Inverse

The Inverse transformation turns a fractal inside out. The original center 

of the fractal is put infinitely far away, and points that were far away 

end up near the center. 

This can change the shape of the fractal in unexpected ways. The 

example image shows the Inverse transformation applied to a standard 

Mandelbrot

 set. (The inside areas of the Mandelbrot set are colored 

gray.)

The following parameters are available:

Specifies the radius of the inversion circle. The transformation inverts all 

points around this circle. Larger values will simply magnify the inverted 

Radius

fractal.

Specifies the coordinates of the center of the inversion circle. This will 

drastically change the shape and form of the fractal. Use the 

eyedropper

Center

(right click and click Eyedropper) to select the center by clicking inside 

the fractal window.

If checked, the center of the screen is used instead of the Center 

parameter, so the inversion circle is always centered on the screen. This

can give unexpected effects when zooming in.
