+Color cycling
+=============
+
+**Syntax**:(cycling bool)
+
+Color cycling is an old and simple effect to animate fractals. The Mandelbrot
+set looks particularly nice when color-cycled. On truecolor displays, color
+cycling fails to initialize (since those displays don't have a palette). You
+can enable :ref:`palette emulation filter <palettef>` to make it possible.

+**Available as**: menu item, command line option, command
+
+In the user interface, colors can also be cycled in the opposite direction with
+the "**Reversed color cycling**" function.
+
+To control the cycling speed, you coan use arrow keys or the "**Color cycling
+speed**" function.

+cycle in the opposite direction.
