Color Palettes 🎨

Color palettes are used to draw a fractal render in the application canvas. A multitude of palettes are available in Rsfrac, allowing you to explore different visuals.

You can select a specific palette using the color command, or quickly cycle through them by pressing c while the canvas is focused.

A preview of each available palette is provided at the end of this section.

In addition to choosing a color palette, you can further customize the fractal's appearance by changing two other parameters.

The Smoothness

The smoothness parameter controls the contrast between two adjacent divergence values.

  • Higher smoothness results in a seamless, flowing gradient, creating a polished and visually pleasing fractal.
  • Lower smoothness introduces visible bands between divergence levels, as illustrated below:

The Palette Offset

The palette offset allows you to shift through the spectrum of colors within a palette, modifying how the divergence values map to specific colors.

  • Use the + or - keys while focusing on the canvas to adjust this parameter.

Below, you'll find a showcase of all available color palettes, demonstrating how the offset changes their appearance over time.
