Classic Properties Page
The Fractal Science Kit fractal generator Classic page is found under the Mandelbrot / Julia / Newton page and holds properties related to color smoothing based on a smoothing method called continuous potential.

The Controllers page lets you set the list of Classic Controllers used to process this fractal.
Classic
The Classic section holds a single property Smooth Colors that activates continuous potential smoothing. If Smooth Colors is unchecked, no smoothing is applied and coloring based on the sample's Magnitude will simply use a linear scaling of the sample's (compressed) dwell values. If Smooth Colors is checked, continuous potential smoothing is applied to the sample's Magnitude resulting in a smooth transition between dwells.
Color Compression
The Color Compression section has 2 properties: Compress Colors and Compression Rate. Checking Compress Colors activates color compression based on the selected Compression Rate. Color compression merges consecutive dwells together if the number of samples associated with those dwells is small. The Compression Rate controls how aggressively to apply the compression.
Continuous Potential Magnitude Normalization
The Continuous Potential Magnitude Normalization section controls the normalization parameters. See Data Normalization for details. Note that Method is set to Inside/Outside Separately and cannot be changed. Also, several of the parameters are disabled when Region is set to Outside.
