Small vs Large Bailout

From Ultrafractal Wiki

Hi David,

The "small bailout" is for Convergence and "large bailout" for divergence, so in the parameters you quoted "Bailout (div)" is the "large bailout" , i.e. the Divergent bailout, and "Bailout (conv)" is the "small bailout", i.e. the Convergent bailout. The easy way to tell is that "small" means values <1 and "large" means values>1 - making it easy to tell which bailout is which from the default values. For Magnet Formulas (both type 1 and type 2) the Mandelbrot forms usually test for absolute convergence to a convergent root of (1,0) and the Julias use "normal" convergence testing i.e. do not use absolute convergence - but in the particular case of Ron's formula that you used that always uses absolute convergence testing to (1,0) even if you're essentially viewing a Julia (because of the way you may have the formula parameters set).

bye Dave
