Gradient

The Gradient coloring algorithm ignores the information from the fractal 

formula and fills the fractal with all colors from the 

gradient

.

To obtain a completely filled image, select the Gradient coloring 

algorithm in both the Inside and the Outside tabs of the 

Layer Properties

tool window. This ensures that all pixels are colored in the same way.

The Gradient Type parameter selects how the gradient should be displayed: linear (from left to 

right), radially, or as a cone. Use 

zooming and panning

 to reposition the gradient as desired.

This coloring algorithm is handy for creating special effects with multi layer images. You can, for 

example, use it in a 

mask

 together with a suitable transparent gradient to show only selected 

portions in a regular pattern of the layer that is masked.
