nice one doe kf now supports layering ? that comes in very handy always ...

I like when colors are used to show interesting information and not just there for beauty and variety.  (Of course I like beauty too, but I think information can be quite beautiful.)

It would be interesting to see a zoom movie (even a short one) which uses this effect.  I am envisioning a movie that adds a new color at every pass of a minibrot.  One can then see how the previous shapes keep coming back into the picture.

I assume your coloring is tweaked by hand.  Or is this something that can be done automatically?

Thanks :)

Yes it is tweaked by hand. The palette contains larger and larger areas of the same colors
But that only worked up to 3 layers with my 1024 color palette.
Then I found out that if I square root the de-values it got easier and perhaps log would make it even easier, so maybe I should publish a new version of kf?

I have a 5 layer image ready for tomorrow. But the required iterations grow exponentially so I am not sure I can make a 6 layer image.  :evil1:

A while ago I uploaded this movie with 3 layers

I am resuming this and will upload more such movies with more layers :)

That is exactly the sort of movie I had in mind.  Very nice!

Really nice!  I made an anaglyph version: https://mathr.co.uk/mandelbrot/2016-10-11_distance_estimate_histogram_equalized_anaglyph_2.png

log would make it even easier

Probably.  Single precision float goes down to about 2^(-150) and the upper end is limited by image size (assuming you want some boundary of the mset in the image), so around 2^10 or so assuming you normalize DE to pixel spacing, which gives a log2 range of about 160.  Better clamp the log-DE to -150 just to avoid possible -infinity from stray 0 DE.

wow that technique is indeed awesome! It helps so much to understand how the shapes "came into existence" in the first place..
