-
Select the fractal type from the list of options to launch a new window with the fractal render.
-
Mouse left-click to center the map on a particular point, or left-click-and-drag a rectangle hotspot to zoom into a given region for more detail.
-
Mouse right-click or use the 'q' key to close the window.
