Alternate Mapping: Log Smoothing
The Fractal Science Kit fractal generator Alternate Mapping Log Smoothing generates a smoothed value based on an algorithm by Linas Vepstas.

- Properties
The Properties page supports several properties to control the results.
Processing Options
The Processing Options section allows you to select the value to be smoothed.
Value is one of:
- Magnitude
- Orbit Transformation
- Triangle Metric
Magnitude is given by the Magnitude property on the Mandelbrot / Julia / Newton page. Orbit Transformation is defined by the Orbit Transformation page. Triangle Metric is defined by the Triangle Metric page. The alternate point's Value is set to the smoothed value. Angle and Index are not used.
Orbit Generation
The Orbit Generation section defines 3 properties: Min Dwell, Max Dwell, and Mod Dwell. These values control the set of orbit points that are considered when processing the orbit. Min Dwell is the 1st dwell to check. Max Dwell is the last dwell to check. Mod Dwell - 1 is the number of dwells to skip between checks. That is, a dwell is processed if the dwell is between MinDwell and MaxDwell inclusive, and (dwell - MinDwell) % ModDwell = 0.
