Trap Shape

From Ultrafractal Wiki

Concept

From Damien:

"Mathematically, a trap shape and a texture do the same thing. The code using them (the "calling code") provides a complex number, and the Trap Shape/Texture give back a single (real, not complex) value. The only difference is how that number is interpreted. For a trap shape, the value is the "distance" to the trap. For a texture, it is a texture value. The difference isn't in the trap shape/texture class itself, it's entirely in how the "calling code" uses it."

From class documentation:

"The purpose of a trap shape is very simple: to take one or more complex values and determine a "distance" to a trap shape for those values."
