Also, you will need to ;set the floating point parameter to YES. ;REFERENCE: ;Szyszkowicz, Mieczyslaw. "Computer art generated by the method of secants ;in the complex plane." COMPUTERS AND GRAPHICS, volume 14, number 3/4, p. ;509. } Secant_z4-1 { ;The Fractint formula for z^4-1 is: z = pixel, z0 = p1: zt = z; z1 = z0 * z0 * z0 * z0 - 1; z2 = z * z * z * z - 1; z = z - z2 * (z - z0) / (z2 - z1); z0 = zt; |z2| > 0.001 }
