Exponential Smoothing

The Exponential Smoothing coloring algorithm creates smoothly colored 

outside areas. It works well for both convergent and divergent fractal 

types, which means that it can be combined with almost any fractal 

formula.

Fractal formulas like 

Mandelbrot

, 

Julia

, and 

Phoenix

 have only divergent 

orbits, while types like 

Newton

 and 

Nova

 have only convergent orbits. 

The 

Magnet

 fractal formulas have both divergent and convergent orbits.

With the Color Divergent and Color Convergent parameters, you can enable coloring for divergent 

and convergent orbits. You should always enable at least one option. The formula runs slightly faster 

if you just enable the necessary options (only Magnet like fractals require both parameters to be 

enabled).

The Divergent Density parameter can be used to tweak the color density for divergent parts of a 

fractal. It is only useful when both divergent and convergent orbits exist in the fractal.
