  - determineColor
```
short determineColor(double x,
                     double y,
                     short max)
```
    Determine the color of a point.
    
    Parameters:
    
    x - The x coordinate.
    
    y - The y coordinate.
    
    max - The maximum depth.
    
    Returns:
    
    A value for the point from 0 to max-1 or -1 if the value is at the maximum.
  - isOptimizationAllowed
```
boolean isOptimizationAllowed()
```

  - getDefaultSettings
```
AreaData getDefaultSettings()
```
    Get default settings for rendering the fractal.
  - useColorCycle
```
boolean useColorCycle()
```
    Should a cyclic color scheme be used?
