Tool windows overview

There are two categories of tool windows in Ultra Fractal. Most tool windows work with the active 

fractal document, but there are also stand alone tool windows that work indepently.

Tool windows that work with the active fractal document:

G     

The 

Layer Properties

 tool window edits the active layer of the fractal. This is where you do 

most of the work, for example changing fractal types or experimenting with parameters.

G     

The 

Fractal Properties

 tool window edits the properties that apply to the entire fractal, such 

as the image size and the layers that it contains.

G     

The 

Fractal Mode

 tool window controls what happens and provides feedback when you click 

and drag inside the fractal window.

G     

The 

Timeline

 tool window shows all parameters in the active fractal window, grouped by 

category, and enables you to edit their animation properties. (Ultra Fractal 

Animation Edition

only.)

G     

The 

Statistics

 tool window shows additional information about the fractal and the calculation 

process.

G     

The 

Color Cycling

 tool window animates the colors in the fractal.

Stand alone tool windows:

G     

The 

Network

 tool window manages the computers that are connected to Ultra Fractal for 

distributed fractal calculations. (Ultra Fractal 

Animation Edition

 only.) 

G     

The 

Render to Disk

 tool window manages background calculations of disk render jobs.

G     

The 

Compiler Messages
