Which matrix for the selected transform is shown? If a final transform has been enabled, you can also its pre and post matrix triangles. Variation allows you to edit 2D & 3D variation instances.

Undo the last change to this fractal frame.

Redo (the right button)

Redo the last undone change to this fractal frame.

Rotate/Scale About

Select whether the center of rotation for a triangle is the triangle’s origin or the world coordinate of (0, 0).

Mode

Determines whether to edit 3D transforms using either Triangle editor or Tetrahedron editor mode. (Applies only to 3D transforms)

Face

Determines which face’s triangle to edit for 3D transforms. (Applies only to 3D transforms using Triangle editing mode.)

Preview Auto-Refresh

If Off, then only the editor thumbnail image will show editing changes. If On, then the fractal preview window’s image will be updated too (slower).

Custom Animations

Opens the animation configurator allowing you to configure multiple parallel animations (in one animation segment).

Refresh Others

Refresh the preview fractal window’s image with the current fractal editing changes. Refreshes other thumbnails having that fractal throughout the app.

Toggles fractal thumbnail to preview either the current layer or preview all layers.
If the transform editor’s fractal is a sub-flame, then the options change to: Sub-Flame / All Layers.
