This is part 2 of the guide to Compasses fractals. This time I’m inverting them i.e. transforming the complex plane by applying a power of -1. This is the same transform that produces the Inverse Mandelbrot which I think resembles a trilobite. The last example is similar to the Inverse Mandelbrot but it appears to have swallowed what looks like a very fat Mandelbrot.
The formula for Compasses can be found in the part 1. All the examples use alpha = 2 and z0 = transformed c (c = c-1) and varying values of beta.
beta = 0
beta = -1
beta = -1.665
beta = -2
beta = 0.125
That’s it for Inverse Compasses, the next part will use negative values for alpha.
