FractalCreator - Saving

 

After drawing a fractal it can be save as a bitmap file on disk. In order to save a fractal go to File menu and select Save or press Ctrl + S. You can also use the toolbar (if it is displayed).

There are two saving modes:

  • each time you save a fractal you will be prompted to choose a name and a path for the bitmap file;

  • save the fractal automatically to a previous selected directory.

You can choose the saving mode from the Settings menu, Saving Mode.

If you choose to save automatically to a given folder the name of the file will be:
 
Fractal Type Bitmap filename
Mandelbrot mandelbrot_DATA&TIME
Julia julia_(CONSTANT)_DATA&TIME
Mandelbrot generic mandelbrot_generic_(FORMULA)_DATA&TIME
Julia generic julia_generic_(CONSTANT)_(FORMULA)_DATA&TIME


CONSTANT is the complex number from the complex plane use to create a Julia set.
e.g. -0.565000 + 0.662021i

DATA&TIME is the data  and time when the file was save.
e.g. Thu_Nov_07_18.42.18_2002

FORMULA is the function used to create the generic fractal.
e.g. z=zzzz-c that is z = z * z * z * z - c
