Objective of this tutorial

In this tutorial we want to show how to change the color of your fractal by controlling one of the following aspects:

  1. gradient
  2. color index
  3. color speed

To proceed, please load the example flame from the previous tutorial into your editor. In order to do this:

  1. Enter the Appendix of the previous tutorial, look for the text-box with some cryptic text starting with "<flame...". Select this text with your mouse, i.e. starting at "<flame..." until (and including) "</flame>" at the botton. Copy this text into the clipboard (on most platforms pressing Ctrl+C>).
  2. Enter the main-flame-editor and press the From Clipboard-button. If all went right, you should see a monochrome blue fractal.

How coloring works

Each flame-fractal has a so-called gradient assigned to itself. A gradient is a collection of colors you want to have inside your fractal. Most fractals have gradients with contain more or less smooth transitions
