Hi, Chaoscopians!
Considering the visual aspect, visualisation or representation of fractals, 
there can be little doubt that colour is as important as structure.

Therefore, I wonder, wouldn't it be desirable to implement the saving of 
parameter files in such a way that not only the paramater values but also the 
colour maps would 
be stored.

If, for instance, you are experimenting with lots of different gradients 
(colour maps), rather than saving rendered images, it is much more convenient 
to save parameter files including map-related information, until you come 
across the appearance you have been looking for.

Which leads to another question / suggestion: Since briefly after starting the 
rendering process you get a pretty good idea of what the final image will look 
like, to avoid making the user wait for a result she or he does not really 
want, maybe it would be a good idea to enable the her or him to stop the 
rendering, for example by hitting the ESC key.

Things like these may serve to improve the program. Nice to have, maybe, but 
not really necessary.

For who would deny that Chaoscope is already a great piece of software.

Regards,

hajotem
