Variations based on polynomial Julia sets. For escape time fractals, the formula is z → z^n + c. For flames, the mapping is reversed and the “+ c” part is done by the affine transform, so these variations basically take the root of the input taken as a complex number, returning one of the results at random.
Based on complex numbers, the Julia transform is two dimensional by nature. Some 3D Julia variants have been written, but the 3D transformation is not related to the basic Julia operation.
Several other variations have incorporated the functionality of julian, including cpow, wavesn, and xtrb.

julia
Classic quadratic Julia set (obsolete; use julian with power=2).
Type: 2D
Author: Scott Draves

The original Julia implementation, it has a bug: it swaps x and y. This was never fixed because doing so would break earlier flames. The workaround is to use julian with power set to 2.
