Can you see the April Fool's joke in the above image? The April Fool's joke is that there is

no April Fool's joke.There is no spoon either.Seriously it's a Mandelbrot made with the startup command set to initorbit=-0.6/0.5.While in Fractint press the G key to bring up the interactive startup command screen to enter these values.

      The next image is a mandellambda type with initorbit command set to initorbit=0.9/-0.8 To reset initorbit to default values enter initorbit=pixel .If you use Fractint try varying these values and see what you get .As for using this command it seems to work on Mandel types but not Julias.My understanding of fractal math is almost non-existent so I can't say what this means.Both the original gifs are in Fractint form with the par info so you can load 'em up and experiment.
