1) Select File I New | Fractal or    CTRL + N
 
2) Select a formula  for example
   open the dmj  folder and select

3) Click OK
Theory:
 
The most famous of all fractals the Mandelbrot Set was discovered by Benoit B. Mandelbrot, while working as Research Fellow at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, set sometime between 1975 and 1980 (accounts differ).  The Mandelbrot set is only one of many thousands of different types of fractals now known.  
 
When creating a new fractal in Ultra Fractal the first step is to select one of the hundred or so built-in fractal types.
