These fractals are from the same prototype, Julia+Spherical.

Fractal images are really fascinating.
I was wondering what factors the image, which, if I understand correctly, is repeated and you can see the same pattern when you look at the tiny parts on the edges.
Is it controlled by the power of your GPU or the pixels or what?
It's really lovely, the effects you can get from these programs, so I just have to find out more about the workings.

Thanks for the great display

---- You're correct.

---- Mostly it's controlled by the form, filter, color gradient, weight etc., but sometimes OS can influence the output too. Xaos runs in Wine and Window can be different.

This is one of my most favorite fractal form. Dozen of beautiful fractals can be produced without too much effort.
They all were rendered with three forms; Julia, Spiral+Blur, Linear.
Only the last one doesn't have Blur.
