File types

The browser works with all Ultra Fractal file types. You can set it to display all fractal related files, or 

only files of a selected type. 

To select a file type, click File Types on the View menu, and then click the file type. You can also use 

the drop down box on the toolbar. The following file types are available:

Fractal Files

Displays fractal files (*.ufr). Fractal files contain complete fractals. 

See 

Opening and saving fractals

.

Parameter Files

Displays parameter files (*.upr). Parameter files contain multiple 

parameter sets that describe a fractal without storing the calculated 

pixels. Older Fractint parameter files (*.par) are also shown. See 

Parameter files

.

Gradient Files

Displays gradient files (*.ugr). Gradient files contain multiple 

gradients that store coloring information for a fractal. Older gradient 

files (*.ual) and Fractint palette files (*.map) are also shown. See 

Opening and saving gradients

.

Transformations

Displays transformation files (*.uxf). Transformation files contain 

multiple transformation formulas. See 

Transformations

.

Fractal Formulas

Displays fractal formula files (*.ufm). Fractal formula files contain 

multiple fractal formulas. Older Fractint formula files (*.frm) are also 

shown. See 

Fractal formulas

.

Coloring Algorithms

Displays coloring algorithm files (*.ucl). Coloring algorithm files 

contain multiple coloring algorithms (formulas). See 

Coloring 

algorithms

.

Select All Files to display all these file types at the same time.
