Initial Conditions Pre-Transforms #80

Open mclarekin opened 8 years ago

mclarekin commented 8 years ago

Would be good to test out pre-transforms in initial conditions in a future version

They are generally run for only 1 or 2 iterations, to transform 3D space before DE calc commences

Please supply more information. Let us bump this feature to 2.12.

This should be possible in openCL. It is a bit trickier in c++ and would add yet another if() into the main compute fractals.

I would bump to 2.13 and have another think about it then

have decided to close this one,

this sort of thing is more suited to possible openCL custom formula structure, implementation in v.2.20+

mclarekin commented 4 years ago

I sometimes have problems implementing formulas due to no initial conditions a) for changing domain b) ability to write inline formulas

where a) is the biggest problem. I can get around it by using if(aux.i == 0)

I am guessing implementing IC this would require some major changes, but have no idea of how it would effect the speed of the program
