This format was very interesting because it was essentially "resolution independent". You could zoom in further and further and see nonsensical made up details

  > This format was very interesting because it was essentially "resolution independent" When I read that, I thought it is because it is a vector type. Usually "resolution independent" images, from my understanding, are commonly vector type since it can scale infinitely like SVG. However, I couldn't find information online whatever .FIF is a raster or vector type. I saw one that said it shares similarly to vector images, that didn't confirm anything for me. So I would incline that because .FIF is a vector type, please correct me if I am wrong. It so hard to find this information and wondering if my google-fu is getting rusty. EDIT: Whelps, it turn out my google-fu is getting rusty. I managed to find the information and I am wrong. It is a raster type[1].

    Your link contains is a nice article [1] how the resolution independent "raster type" looks like when zooming in including ancient Windows software to try it yourself. Sadly wine crashes when I try to start it. 1.: http://users.senet.com.au/~mjbone/Fractals.html http://users.senet.com.au/~mjbone/Fractals.html
