XaoS online help - Autopilot
Description: XaoS, realtime, fractal, zoomer

# Autopilot

Syntax:(autopilot bool)

To make XaoS yet more impressive, we made a special autopilot mode that automatically drives into interesting boundaries of the set; you should press `A`, play your favorite music, drink coffee and relax. I never tried this but it should be really relaxing! Many pictures in the XaoS gallery were discovered using the autopilot.

The autopilot also has some additional features. It backtracks if the zoomed picture is not interesting anymore, and can detect when it's zoomed into really a boring part of the fractal or reached the limit of floating point arithmetic on the platform, and restart zooming from the top.
