Field notes
The interface lets users move from standard Mandelbrot and Julia views into custom complex iteration formulas, with a reference explaining syntax such as z*z + c, zeta(z), rotate(x,a), and boxFold(x,r). Rendering options include Buddhabrot and anti-Buddhabrot modes, orbit-trap shapes, GPU acceleration, fullscreen display, animation, and supersampling up to 32x32. The page also exposes coordinate and zoom controls for saving or revisiting particular views.
