This option is normally used for mapping Phoenix curves (Shigehiro Ushiki), which are Julia-related
curves based on the formula f(z+1)=z²+p+qz. 'p' and 'q' are constants, and the 'z' term of 'qz' is
actually the value of z^n-1, or the previous value of z before the current iteration. 'zn' is reserved by
Fractal ViZion to represent this value, while the complex constant set in the Parameters window
becomes 'p' and 'q'. The real part of the complex constant is 'p' and the imaginary part of the
constant is 'q' (when the Phoenix option is chosen).
If the Phoenix flag is used with the Mandelbrot option, 'j' and 'k' should be used as the constants,
since the complex constants p and q are already used as the starting value of 'z0'.

Cycle command
Cycle command (Color menu)
Use this command to cycle colors when not plotting. Works with any coloring mode, but not with
hsv filtering or anti-aliasing. Undoing an action disables the cycle command until the image is
redrawn.

Symmetry
Symmetry
This produces a mirror image from left to right (vertical) or top to bottom (horizontal) or both (xy).
You can zoom with symmetry, but the results will be uncertain if the zoom box is off-center on the
window or if rotation is used. Symmetry has no effect when used with the Tesseral option, 3D, or
random fractals.
