Fractal formulas

The fractal formula creates the basic shape and form of a fractal. Ultra Fractal comes with a number 

of 

standard formulas

 that you can use. You can also download 

additional formulas

 from the Internet 

and even 

write

 your own formulas.

Fractal formulas are managed in the Formula tab of the 

Layer Properties

 tool window.
