It's a rather old fact, that the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A variation of this facts is, that the comments from an observer says at least as much about the observer as the observed. This becomes even truer as the observed does not look like something. In psychology this is called projection since one porjects one's own thoughts and ideas on something that in itself is rather neutral. The Rorschach ink-blot test is devised with this in mind. Using 10 pictures with no particular motive, clients are given an excuse to project their thought so that the psychologist can investigate these thoughts. These projections can for example be used to diagnose mental illness 2-3 years before a diagnosable change of behavior sets in! To help the interpretation, a list of standard answer have been made. This makes it possible to determine how good or strange an answer is. Some ink-blots tend to look like something and many people see the same. Others come up with rather idiosyncrate and strange answers, but one cannot validly jugde an answer as strange without a list of standard answers from a large population. In my opinion, this must also be true when it comes to fractals. While some images tend to look like a actual thing, many don't: If an fractal image seems "offensive", it's most likely to fall back on the judge of taste himself. We know that, be he cannot and will not see that: The image justifies him in feeling offended, it's the images fault! Still, only a statistical consensus can determine that...

Date: 02 Sep 1998 10:28:50 +1000 If we want to be really picky, everything in the world has a sexual meaning - it is a requirement for the continuation of a species. Flowers after all are the reproductive organs of the plant, that is flowers ARE sex. There probably is no way of making something non-sexual - it is personal objective, sometimes good sometimes bad. Many artists paint the not-so-obvious-sexual (eg landscapes) and many the obvious-sexual (you know what I mean). But what do many big upright trees really mean to the person painting a landscape, do two naked bodies together represent sex or the fabulous "artwork" of nature. I think all fractal images are sexual in nature, but they do not necessarily represent a "sexual image" of a person or their thoughts. (Perhaps it is the equation communicating with us -think what you will) What is important is the moral standing of artwork in society. Good vs Evil and what we want our kids to see and know. This is everchanging, hopefully for the better. So we are at the whims of the government censoring body - but that doesn't stop us from making fractals or other forms of art. I often feel disgusted rather than offended at specific art - but that is freedom of thought and do we really want someone to control it. -----Original Message----- >I had one characterized as "evil", other images described as "sexual" >or "erotic".

J. Long" Subject: Re: (fractint) Fractal risks? Date: 02 Sep 1998 08:32:28 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) I am following this thread with more than usual interest as it seems to be sparking the kind of thoughts that have been churning around in my mind of late. I ask myself; WHY do I like the images that I choose to keep? WHY do I dismiss the others? WHY can I make a judgement in a split second, and find that judgement holds good even if I review it at leisure later? A colleague (in the Psychology dept of this university) suggested that my choices reflect a desire to force a rational and 'comfortable' interpretation on what I see. I keep more with '3D' colour maps, and simple, curved, shapes because I can provide an analogue from nature or experience, which makes the image safe and comfortable. Other, more abstract, images have no easy solution and make me step back from them. (Many) years ago I showed some of the (very) primitive images I generated on an old Acorn 48K computer to a group of school children aged 7-8. One of the first things they seemed to want to do was work out what the pictures -represented-. They asked "what is it a picture OF?" Once they got the message that it did not represent anything 'real' they immediately began to invent things from their experience that it could be - just as the orginator of this thread has found; although thankfully they did not think of any 'dirty' meanings. Incidentally the commonest interpretation was that the pictures were from the story 'Jack and the beanstalk' - remember those infinite columns that surround the mandelbrot set in 16 colours? Nowadays that story is banned in most schools as being totally non-PC - Giants are a minority group; Jack is of an identifiable gender; Jack destroys a rare plant; etc etc. So perhaps fractals ARE risky after all! Does anybody know of any good books / journal articles that discuss fractals in a psychological context? If so I would be more than interested to hear from you. I would like to compile a bibliography on the subject. ps - apologies for any wierd typos in this email - I am having a war with this *?#@+ mailer........and losing. ---------------------- Nigel H.

I think you're missing the point - I don't want FRACTINT parameters to generate better fractals, I want VIDEO CARD parameters to enable me to see the fractal at a higher resolution, with a greater number of colours. > Do the top-notch computerophiles & mathemeticians on this list > actually > have 1979 PC's with only a 256 color card?? > No. We have 1998 PC's with 4MB video cards, capable of displaying in excess of 16million colours, but feel a bit cheated when the fractal comes out at only 16 colours with blocky graphics. Fractals are a thing of beauty to behold, but beauty in this case is constrained by the limitations of the display card. Consider listening to your favourite symphony on a transistor radio. How would you feel if someone said "just accept the music for what it is. You don't need a modern surround-sound HiFi system to appreciate it"..?

Most modern surround-sound hi-fi systems *are* transistor radios (maybe with a CD player in there, too.) The alternative is vacuum-tube amplifiers -- and while there are some people who insist that symphonies sound better on them, most people would not feel cheated if they were forced to use a solid-state amp instead. :) (And isn't it kind of temporally backwards to liken using TrueColor to using vacuum tubes? :) Kragen -- Kragen Sitaker We are forming cells within a global brain and we are excited that we might start to think collectively.

How does one learn to visualize or estimate what a particular formula will produce? Are there any tutorials, books, etc. that explain the process one goes through when writing a formula? I've read the Fractint formula tutorial and some others that I've found, and they help somewhat. The problem is, I still find myself at a loss where to start if I want to try to "roll my own" formula. Any suggestions from the masters? Thanks. Ken...

It would be almost impossible to "accidentally" come up with a method that produced 3D-like shapes with each shape consisting of gradations of a particular color. >Wrt formulas in general, I guess I was wondering if people had in mind >what they were trying to achieve when creating a formula, or if they >just started dinking around, as you mention. When I originally developed the orbit trap technique about 4 or 5 years ago, it involved a lot of experimentation (and was inspired by Pickover's epsilon cross method, which is also actually an orbit trap - see below), but once I had the general algorithm developed for 3D shading, writing formulas for the different shapes was relatively easy. However, formulas like my four-in-one Julia sets are not quite so easy, but I still had to know in advance what I was trying to accomplish. > >I would also like to make a polite request that those with experience >writing the unique coloring algorithms consider writing a tutorial >and/or documenting their algorithms describing what is going on, if not >already done. I posted this to the list about a year ago: Several people have indicated an interest in how I use orbit traps to get a pseudo-3D effect in my fractals. The following is an attempt to explain the methods using as little math as possible. I guess a good place to start might be to explain how I happened to develop the 3D Stalks rendering method about 3 or 4 years ago. I had written a program that plotted fractals using Pickover's epsilon cross method. With this method, when the orbitting point lands within a specified distance, "epsilon," of either the real or imaginary axis, bailout occurs and the screen pixel is plotted in a color depending on the number of iterations at bailout. The result is an image consisting of stalks, each stalk being a solid color. I noticed that if I made epsilon smaller the stalks became thinner and if larger the stalks became fatter. I then modified the program so that if the orbit point fell within a distance epsilon of an axis the pixel was plotted red, but if the point fell within a distance of one-half epsilon the pixel was replotted green. The result was red stalks overlaid with green stalks about half the thickness of the red stalks they were laying on. These experiments showed me two things: 1) each stalk represents a single iteration count at bailout, and 2) it was possible to vary the color of the stalk depending on where within epsilon the orbit point fell. My first 3D Stalks image used only shades of yellow - from bright yellow if the point fell exactly on one of the axes to dark yellow if the point fell a distance epsilon away from an axis, with intermediate shades of yellow for points falling between those two extremes. I used 250 shades of yellow, the brightest at colormap index 1 and the darkest at colormap index 250 and the rest varying linearly in between (I usaully save colormap index 0 for black since this is the overscan or border color). My program computed how close the orbit point fell to an axis and if it was within epsilon the distance was saved in a variable "dist." Then the ratio dist/epsilon was computed (call it "ratio") and used to compute an index into the colormap as follows: index = 1 + ratio * 249 This gives values of index from 1 to 250 since ratio varies from zero to one. The resulting image consisted of yellow stalks, each stalk being dark yellow at the edges and bright yellow in the center, giving the stalks a 3D appearance since, everything else being equal, bright portions of an image appear closer to the observer than dark portions. The next step was to break the colormap into two color ranges, index 1 to 125 light yellow to dark yellow, index 126 to 250 light blue to dark blue. The yellow range was used if bailout occurred on an even iteration, the blue range if on an odd iteration, ie, if even, index = 1 + ratio * 124 if odd, index = 126 + ratio * 124 or, in general: index = 1 + range_num * colors_in_range + ratio * (colors_in_range-1) where range_num varies from zero to the number of color ranges minus one. This illustrates the basic pseudo-3D orbit trap method: If an orbit point falls within the trap, compute the ratio of the distance from the orbit point to some point Q in the trap divided by the maximum distance from point Q to the boundary of the the trap (this guarantees that the ratio will be from zero to one, inclusive) and use that ratio to index into a color range. Orbit traps can have many forms. The main requirement is that the test for the orbit point falling in the trap can't take too long to execute since the test must be done every iteration. Simple closed areas like circles and squares make good orbit traps since it is easy to test if the orbit point falls within them and it is also easy to compute the ratio using the center of the area as point Q. Plane curves expressed in parametric form also make good orbit traps except in this case the trap is a narrow constant width band with the curve at its center (ie, for a circle the band would be a ring). A formula I posted some time ago using an astroid curve illustrated this: the argument of the iterated variable (the counter-clockwise angle from the positive real axis to the orbit point) is computed and used to compute the coordinates of point Q on the plane curve. If the orbit point is within the specified distance of point Q, compute the ratio and color index as above. Sometimes for special effects I'll use color ranges in which the colors do not vary linearly. Sometimes I'll have the darkest shade at both ends of the range with the brightest shade in the center of the range. Sometimes I'll use the ratio squared which emphasizes the colors towards the beginning of a range. Because the ratio is always from zero to one, it can be raised to any positive power and still be from zero to one. The same general method of using a ratio between zero and one to index into a color range is not limited to orbit traps. In my Atan method, for example, I use a ratio of angles. To use these methods with Fractint I had to find a way to get Fractint to use the computed colormap index. I do this in my formulas by iterating some variable other than z and by keeping my own iteration counter. Then when the point falls in the orbit trap I set z equal to the colormap index minus the number of iterations. This works when outside=summ is used which adds the number of iterations to z. That's all I can think of for now. I'll be glad to answer any questions. Paul Carlson Hope this helps.

For example, when I came up with the triangle method coloring, I wanted a method that would show something different than just iteration number or polar angle. I went back to my complex analysis books and remembered the triangle inequality. So, my coloring method came from, "how does the iterate tend to fall within the bounds given by the triangle inequality?" I think it looks better than it sounds. :-) Another example is the "principal root" coloring, in which I asked, "how often is the previous iterate the principal root of the next squaring?" The point is that I try to have some idea of what I'm after when I start. Usually, the idea fleshes itself out along with the formula. Today, I wrote a formula in response to a point Damien made about the (now ongoing) fractal contest. We were talking about image processing, and Damien mentioned that he made a formula the gives the "embossing" effect often found in image processing software. So, I decided to come up with a formula that does embossing. To do this well, I think one needs to have a fairly good background in the math behind the fractals, as well as a good grasp of the formula syntax paired with the intricacies of Fractint's coloring methods. I started out writing formulas that simply transformed the "z" variable, and let Fractint's coloring methods go from there. Now, fairly aware of what Fractint can do, I write formulas that, when used with specific Fractint features (e.g., decomp=256, inside=zmag, outside=real), I get what I want. Above all, I think, is practice. Try rolling your own and get a feel for what they can and cannot do. Look at other people's work and try to deconstruct it or make similar (or better) versions. Generalizing other peoples' work is good, too. It gives you a good sense of how things work, and expands the field of possibilities for other artists.

Its not that hard to do, but there are a couple reasons why you probably don't want to compute M in PS: o M is floating-point intensive and most PS printers aren't optimized for floating-point math. o PS is interpreted and the burden of interpretation only adds to the already heavy computational burden of computing M. o You'll probably get faster results by computing M in GIF format and converting the GIF image to PS and printing the image.

I am a very firm believer in paying great attention to bandwidth, particularly on the introductory page. Most surfers will go on to something else if the intro page doesn't show it's stuff in less than a minute.

As you go through it you'll find lots of equations to plug into an escape type fractal. If you look at 'series' their convergence and divergence and what separates the two and remainder theory it'll give you more ideas. Then the next book you could look for is one on comnplex analysis and conformal mapping. things are very different in the complex plane. I'm relatively new to the IF...ENDIF logic and I haven't done much with it. This tool gives you precision control over the coloring method but a lot of mathematical up front work is required. As a basic rule of thumb when you iterate you can track three basic values: the count at which you are at, the value which you are at, and the location in your coordinate system (cartesian, polar, etc). by establishing standards of comparison for those values you have come up with a new unique coloring /rendering method. Unfortunately its been my experience that to rigorous a standard makes your fractals look plain and lousy. Always be willing to test your standards boundry because thats where it gets great. for instance (off the top of my head) say we want to test our iteration based on count and value so that as count increases we begin to loose grasp of the original value(kind of like hiesenberg). z=current value n= iteration count c=arbitrary constant: conditional test: |z|<= (c+z/n)^n try the conditional >= (half the time things get exciting around zero the other half infinity) change the arbitrary constant to extremes make n a function of iteration n=F(iter#) etc. Can I begin to see where this is going. NO! but I'm pretty familiar with how the M-set behaves so I'll iterate that function with this test first and see what it does to the that behavior. Try halley maps in regions that f'(z)>f(z) (divergent areas). Try halley maps on functions with singularities or discontinuity And best of all, it can turn out to be just junk or it could be a surprise. I hope this helps. This thought process is chaotic like my explanation.

I *could* have also prepared 1024x768 versions of these images, but when I started my gallery space was a concern; space is no longer a problem for me, but the sheer quantity of images *is*.

Ah - crossed wires here. I looked at one webpage last week that had about 6 full-sized pictures on it. I just thought it would have been a better idea to reduce these to thumbs, thus getting a summary of what to expect downloaded quickly. I didn't mean that I wanted everyone to fill their title pages with thumbs of ALL of their current images!! But for those with many fractals on display, surely thumbnails of them on an intgro page is quicker to download than a page containing all of the displays? > I am a > very firm believer in paying great attention to bandwidth, > particularly > on the introductory page.

True, but I'm looking at it from the point of view that "the more effort put in by the one writer, the less effort required by the many readers". Perhaps it's a selfish view, I don't know. As for the space available, the JPEG+PAR solution sounds a much better idea. Would two JPEGs of the same image require less storage space than one GIF?

As for the space available, > the JPEG+PAR solution sounds a much better idea. Would two JPEGs of the > same image require less storage space than one GIF? Let's see...... 1. Regarding the gif versus jpg question........I believe that I am often doing everyone a favor by posting a largish gif with the Fractint info in tact rather than the par (or at least in addition to the par) because the par could take faaaaaaaaaaar longer to generate than the gif does to download. That is always a consideration for me. In general I like the jpg + par approach because I feel more comfortable that my images will be treated with care by my Fractint bretheren. I figure the jpg's....regardless of the copyright babble......will be pilfered. That is certainly another consideration in how I post my images......I give up the really good stuff to the web with great reluctance. 2. Dealing with the gif in fractint is simplicity itself.....put the gif where you can reasonably locate it...the most basic spot being where fractint resides....open the gif using "r" then save the parameters by hitting that old "b". You can zoom into or out of the fractal at will right from the gif or use Paul Carlson's great hint of hitting z for the parameters, then F6 and enter a couple of times. I hope I have that right as I haven't done it in a while. At any rate.....you can return to the "original" image using the gif parameters in that way then start on your own journey. That is my fav thing to do. 3. Space limitations are space limitations...period. If one doesn't have space available to post (and most don't) the dual posting is not an option. I consider my time and space far more valuable than that of web surfers who are a non-paying audience which MUST be considered because "their" download minutes will cause them annoyance......I refuse to cost myself hours of effort or more $$ for web space for their minor inconvenience when they are getting a freebie. One is not required to pander to all wishes. I try to make reasonable compromises. I have in excess of 35 megs of "stuff" on the web so managing it takes considerable time already. Maybe those whose jobs are connected with the web or who have smaller websites can more profitably use your suggestions.

This discussion has been very interesting. I have been clumping around getting some understanding of the basics and am getting an appreciation for the leap of thought it takes to think of something new, not so much how you write the formula but the imagination in thinking of the orbit traps, stalks and the flexballs, bubbles and triangles and all that. It's very creative. I was reading about Julia and Fatou. Early in this century they visualized all this (or a good part of this) and never lived to see it on a screen and certainly not in 256 colors. I wonder if it was totally an abstraction or if they could visualize it somewhat. They never knew what it looked like or saw all these people developing things from it. (or.....who knows....) Anyway, I have some basic questions that I have not been able to figure out using the references from this list. Some of it is math but I think more of it is programming or just knowing the conventions of the If..Else formulas. I've read (partially!) the Devaney and Peitgen books and some things on chaos etc. and am at roughly an advanced high school or college math for non-math major sort of level. Ummm, so- basic math question on popcorn_jul and complex numbers: Popcorn_Jul popcorn_jul { ; Paul Carlson, 1998 ; Always use float=yes ; ; real(p1) = h in popcorn formula ; imag(p1) = bailout value ; x = real(pixel) y = imag(pixel) h = real(p1) : prev_x = x x = x - h * sin(y + tan(3 * y)) y = y - h * sin(prev_x + tan(3 * prev_x)) z = x + flip(y) |z| <= imag(p1) } I thought this was about separating the x and y pixel in the initialization and then iterating the Julia formula. But does x = x - h * sin(y + tan(3 * y)) y = y - h * sin(prev_x + tan(3 * prev_x)) have something to do with z^2 + c? I thought I could figure this out with the "Formulae for Complex Numbers" but couldn't. (Actually I do not get for example why e^z=e^x(cosy + i*siny). Would this be in an Analytical Geometry text?) Similarly, I always liked conic sections and graphs in school and was looking at Kerry Mitchell's conic section formulas. conic { ; Kerry Mitchell 12may98 ; ; draws conic sections, not fractals ; Ax^2 + Bx + Cy^2 + Dy + Exy + F = 0 ; A=real(p1), B=imag(p1), C=real(p2), D=imag(p2) ; E=real(p3), E=imag(p3). use decomp=256 coloring ; a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2) e=real(p3), f=imag(p3), iter=-1: x=real(pixel), y=imag(pixel) t=x*(a*x+b)+y*(c*y+d)+e*x*y+f t=log(cabs(t)) z=cos(t)+flip(sin(t)) iter>0 } I understand the Ax^2 + Bx parts.

However, this is *not* the familiar z^2+c formula. That would look like this: x = x*x - y*y + real(c) y = 2*prev_x*y + imag(c) Where the "prev_x" variable is used to force the y equation to use the previous iteration's value of x, instead of the newly computed one in the x formula. I don't know if Paul's Popcorn formula has an easy expression in terms of z. If it did, he'd probably use it. > couldn't. (Actually I do not get for example > why e^z=e^x(cosy + i*siny). Would this be in an > Analytical Geometry text?) This should be easily found in a complex analysis text. Basically, for any angle theta, exp(i*theta) = cos(theta) + i*sin(theta). *Why* this is depends on whose perspective you take, so it might just be easier right now to accept it. Then, exp(z) = exp(x+i*y) = exp(x)*exp(i*y) = exp(x)*[cos(y) + i*sin(y)]. This comes about from the rules of exponents (a^(b+c) = a^b * a^c) and the exp(i*theta) expression above. > Similarly, I always liked conic sections and graphs > in school and was looking at Kerry Mitchell's > conic section formulas. [more snippage] > I understand the Ax^2 + Bx parts. Where did > the > " t=log(cabs(t)) > z=cos(t)+flip(sin(t))" come from? Two parts: first, I use "t" as a temporary variable to hold the result of the conic section calculation. If t=0, then the iterate is right on the section. Since that will not happen very often, I want to highlight those points "close" to the section, to show where it is. I often do that by using a log transform: log(t) goes to negative infinity very quickly as t goes to zero (from above, through postive numbers. Use the cabs(t) to make sure that the argument is positive, since I don't want imaginary numbers at this point). Part 2 is to use this transformed t as an angle. z = cos(t) + flip(sin(t)) is the same as z = cos(t) + i*sin(t), or z = exp(i*t). So, when I use Fractint's "decomp=256" coloring, that will show narrower and narrower bands of color as the (original) t goes to zero, or as the iterate gets closer to the section. Simple, right? :-) Anyway, you now have a little bigger window into my twisted world of coloring scheme development, and hopefully, a little better understanding of the math and programming behind them.

The "==" means "is it equal to?", as opposed to "=", which means, "set it equal to". "&&" means "and", but the Boolean kind, where if the statement "a && b" is true, then both "a" and "b" have to be true. The Boolean "or" is "||".

Would this be in an > Analytical Geometry text?) Hi, Kathy. I don't think I'm able to give an answer for most of your questions. However, I'll give you this one. First of all, remember that z=x+i*y, where i=sqrt(-1). Now, you can write e^z=e^(x+i*y)=e^x*e^(i*y). The first part of the product comes into the formula. The second part comes from Euler's identity: e^(i*y)=cosy+i*siny. You can reach it with Taylor's series. If you express cosy, i*siny and e^(i*y) as series, you will get the identity. You see that the answer is more in calculus than in analytical geometry, though I think there should be some little explanation in the preliminars of complex numbers. I hope this is not too dark (this is the first time I'm thinking math in English) and helps you understand it a little.:-) Regards, Diosnel Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Hans Bomers" Subject: Re: (fractint) Re: fractals in postscript Date: 04 Sep 1998 20:38:31 +0200 Wim, you wrote: >Op 2 Sep 98 om 22:14 schreef Phil McRevis over: "Re: fractals in >postscript" and you wrote: >Groetjes, > Wim de Lange You, and me, and some other fellas on this mailing list are Dutch.

It's easy to color-cyle the foreground color, but I have no knowledge of how to change the background color. Filling the 'island' isn't possible yet, but feel free to extend the source code with this. Whether or not possible with fractint, the actions you described should be easily accomplished with any decent (and many indecent) bitmap program: inverting colors and filling areas.

I'm going to have to do a lot more reading to even hope to understand how you determined the values for center-mag (whether it was "trial and error", previous experience or anyone with any real math skills just KNOWS the correct values for Koch3) At this point I have only the "trial and error" method to rely on but the more I read from the list, the more hope I have of one day achieving a little of the other to methods.

I have it set up at work. I'll post the trick if there is > interest. Please email:jrhill@nosc.mil if you are. (fractint list only > comes to my home). I assume your printer is a postscript printer. Very likely it is not. But... if so (or you get a postscript printer soon) you can print a postscript file directly to the printer in a DOS window. Something like >copy file.ps :prn Now what I have is an icon on my 'desktop' that looks like this: (right mouse click to bringing up its properties... Program tab) Top line: P Cmd line: C:\ut\P.BAT ? ... Run: Normal window [X] Close on exit Now, here is what P.BAT looks like... rem copy postscript to printer3 printer rem drag and drop file onto icon copy /b %1 \\Server\hp5_printer3 'Server' is the net server name and 'hp5_printer3' is the printer name. Now I use the File Explorer and drag and drop files onto this icon and they get printed, like magic. You can make the icon by creating a shortcut to P.BAT in FileExplorer. Drag and drop the shortcut onto your wallpaper. Then edit its properties.

You could set your quality thresholds on your jpegger so high that the JPEG wasn't any smaller than the .gif, and you could set them so low that the resulting JPEG was a 200th of the size of the .gif but usually terrible-looking, or you could set them somewhere in between.

Fractint is my program of choice and one can remain happily in ignorance of math or programming to use it.

Date: 06 Sep 1998 22:37:07 -0600 I have been lucky enough to get a second computer, and I will be installing Linux on it next week. I was wondering if anybody knows whether fractint will run under Linux. According to the documentation I've read, Linux will run many DOS programs, so I may be all right. I'm really looking forward to seeing fractals on a 200mhz machine with a 3-d and a 17" monitor. :) Xylen I live in another Dimension. I just have a summer home in Reality.

I'm trying to get xfractint running on a PC running Linux. I have a ATI PC to TV video card with 4MB. I'm running X with 32bpp color. The problem is, xfractint only displays blues. I've tried loading pallete maps and editing the pallette, but all I get is blue. If I save the image in as a gif foramted file, I get somthing that sort of resembles the image, but it is garbled. I've checked out the FAQ's and such... buuuttt... no luck. Is there any xfractint wizard out there who has any ideas? -chris.

It's probably one of the most troublesome "features" of the present version. The truecolour modes that Fractint runs with are actually experimental testbeds to test the feasibility of coding a real truecolour mode in Fractint, which requires a different approach to specifying colour than the indexed colour method that Fractint and GIF use. The "colours" that end up in the truecolour image are actually the indices themselves. With truecolour pixels being represented as three bytes of data for the red, green, and blue components in that order, the red and green components get a value of 0, and the blue component gets the number (in the range 0..255) that in an indexed colour mode would have been used to specify which colour to use from the current palette. Result: blue images. Oops, I should have said four bytes of colour data per pixel: the first byte is _transparency_, then comes rgb. That's 32 bits. Maybe we should port Fractint over to Java? :-) Morgan Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Joe Pearson Subject: RE: (fractint) Batch files Date: 07 Sep 1998 13:58:36 +0200 >Thanks for your reply, I've tried that, but fractint still generates the >fractals on the screen.

There aren't built-in disk-video modes for all resolutions. To achieve this I had to edit the fractint.cfg and add a line. You also have to define a key sequence for it. I chose AF5. Then, try including video=af5 on the partobat command line instead of in sstools.ini. What you are trying to do DOES work so keep at it ...

These methods monitor the orbit of the standard Mandelbrot and Julia calculations and bail out if the orbit falls between two curves. In the "ring" formulas, the orbit is trapped between two concentric circles. The circles can be specified generally with the center and the 2 radii. A special case is the "ringc" formulas. Here, the center of the circles is the parameter "c", and the radii are entered in terms of cabs(c). In either case, the 2 circles are identified by: |z - center| = |radius1|, and |z - center| = |radius2|. So it is sufficient to check |z - center| to see if it falls in the range of |radius1| to |radius2|. Exactly where in this range it falls is scaled and used as the angle for the "decomp=256" coloring scheme. The same idea can be applied to lines instead of circles, and this is principle behind the "gap" formulas. Here, the calculation is halted if the orbit falls in the gap between 2 parallel lines. The lines are specified by: a*x + b*y = c1, a*x + b*y = c2. Since "a" and "b" are the same for both lines, the lines are parallel. The gap between the lines is given by the difference between c1 and c2. (Note that c1 and c2 are different than the Mandelbrot and Julia parameters c). In the "gap" formulas, all 4 parameters a, b, c1, and c2 must be entered. In the "gapc" formulas, a and b are determined by the real and imaginary parts of c: if c1 (or c2) = 0, then the line would pass through c and the origin. At each step, the value temp = a*real(z) + b*imag(z) is computed to see if it is in the range from c1 to c2. If so, then it's exact spot within that range is scaled to an angle from 0 to 2*pi radians. That angle is used with the "decomp=256" scheme to color the pixel. In the event that the orbit doesn't encounter either a ring or a gap, the bailout is hardcoded to 1000. For best effect, use "decomp=256" coloring. } fishing-lines { ; copyright Kerry Mitchell 07sep98 ; ; sample for "gapc" coloring method ; reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=fractint.frm passes=1 formulaname=gapc_man center-mag=-0.38927660934152510/-0.58\ 134362037150540/205.6733/1/-154.5 params=-0.001/0.001 float=y maxiter=256 inside=0 decomp=256 periodicity=0 colors=000\ Qdr<2>RetRftSftSgtTgu<4>VjvVjvWkwXkw<11>bqycrydryesyesz<5>jvzkwz\ mwz<2>qyzryzuzzzzzuzzryz<5>jvzivziuz<7>bqybqyapyapy`ox<8>WkwVjvVj\ vViv<7>RetQesQdsQdrPcr<25>GSfFRfFReFQd<13>AJXAJWAIV9IU9HU<33>0010\ 00001<31>8GS9HT9HU9IUAIVAJW<31>KYmLZnLZnM_oM_o<6>Pcr cyclerange=0/255 } ring-toss { ;

I'd like that too. Even an X version that acts a little more like the DOS version (you know, displaying text and graphics in the same window, accepting keystrokes in that window, etc.) would be a big improvement. > > According to the documentation I've read, Linux will > > run many DOS programs, so I may be all right. > > IF you pick up DOSEmu.

Fractint 19.5 under DOSEMU 0.66.7 works mostly fine, but can't color-cycle, and occasionally seems to freeze temporarily, and sometimes the graphics screen is displayed incorrectly. And it's hard to use with the mouse, because the mouse tends to escape the Fractint window while you're moving. More and more people are going to want to run Fractint in Linux -- there would be more Linux users as MS-Windows users in 2002 if Linux's current rate of growth were to remain constant -- so we need to find better ways of doing things. Linux and Fractint have a special kinship; they both share the same "stone soup" method of development. Kragen -- Kragen Sitaker I don't do .INI, .BAT, .DLL or .SYS files. I don't assign apps to files. I don't configure peripherals or networks before using them. I have a computer to do all that. I have a Macintosh, not a hobby. -- Fritz Anderson Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Angela Wilczynski" Subject: (fractint) Try Again Pars Date: 08 Sep 1998 08:07:54 -0700 It's been so long since I've posted pars, I've forgotten some of the tricks.

I'm hardly a wizard with xfractint, but I compiled it and got it running on Solaris 2.5.1. The only problem I've found is that it doesn't read or write pars correctly. If parameters are defaulted in a par, it seems to put garbage in them. Similarly, if I write out a par, it likes to put garbage in the defaulted parameters. Mostly with the coordinates/zoom/magnification entries. It only does 640x480 in a window, but it is useful for experimenting while waiting on compiles, etc. :-) Ken...

I tried to leave in credit in the comments for formulas, maps, pars, etc. that I started from, but having played with so many I easily got confused with what was my starting point. Please let me know if anyone didn't get credit they should have. Comments or suggestions, good or bad, are solicited and appreciated.

It doesn't cause a string of characters to automatically be broken at that length. Setting a specified line length will also cause a small tiny arrow to appear at the top of the Text area in the Message Composer window. You should use this arrow as the point to start a new line. If you go past that length, then any preceding spaces in front of a long string of characters will become one line and the string of characters will be the second line (which is what is happening to you). By setting a value of say 68, you can see when to break the parameters in the PAR. P.N.L. Why do most folks hate cynics so much?

I tried to open a forum for ideas about balancing speed of downloading, number of images, JPEG v GIF, quality of images etc. but it turned a bit heated (I think I may have caused some if it in the first place!! - sorry, people) and then defused itself after a while.

I'm not sure the best answer here, but I'd like to suggest an alternative. The contest web pages could be put in ZIP file(s) for downloading and viewing on an individual's system at their leisure. Unless the HTML for the pages is written with absolute addresses, downloading and view should be possible on any system. > It does seem that someone viewing one page full of thumbs are going to > view those that appear interesting at that size, which is a pity when we > all know that intricate detail in a large picture could merge together > into one solid area of colour in a thumbnail - and thus is in danger of > being overlooked. Conversely, viewing the thumbnails can allow one to skip those images that are clearly not interesting to the individual. It is prudent to view all images at the larger size to ensure that details aren't overlooked. However, a page of thumbnails puts like images together for sort of a "global" comparison. I think my suggestion above might help solve this problem. To view all images, one must effectively download everything, so the ability to download all the relevant pages at one time would solve the problem, plus give the viewing the ability to go back and view offline as often as is needed. Some, including myself, are going to do this anyway, so why not make it easy? > Is it possible to agree on a format for entry submission? eg: all images > must be 640x480, max of 256 colours etc? I know that you may not get the > effect of graduated colour shading, but at least this way images can be > downloaded quickly. With the number of fractal programs that generate true color images, plus the ability to post process fractint images, limiting to 256 colors would be quite ludicrous, IMO. Some, due to system limitations or technical issues might be limited to 256 colors (like me at my work system :-( ), but I think that number is in the minority. Later, Ken...

We can't enforce this request (easily) so all we can do is ask that people view each image in full before making their votes. - And its too bad that no comprimise is open for discussion for those that - want to display their images on their web pages. Thank you for suggesting a compromise. (You were suggesting one, weren't you? :) The problem is that people want to be able to display their images, perhaps even have committed to being able to display them. Suppose after the 19th, we allow those who wish to to display their contest images, yet extend the voting another week or two? Does anyone have some thoughts on this, pro or con? Damien M.

Very much so, but a lot of JPEG software presents a slider with a range of 0 to 100 for the quality/compression. Generally only 1/5 of this range, at one end, is actually useful. You will have to experiment to find out which end it is, since there is no consistent convention for this feature. Certain other software will give you very limited choices indeed, such as "Good, Fair, Poor" etc. For this, you're completely on your own... :-) - Nope -- they need to be analyzed algorithmically, and jpeg throws in - all kinds of artifacts that aren't visible to the eye, but can present - problems for other things you might want to do with images. (Hearsay.) If you intend to view or print images (and for printing, ultimately you plan to view them) then JPEG artifacts are not a problem. For any other sort of statistical analysis, it makes no sense to taint your data by saving it in JPEG form. - Also, I think JPEG only specifies how to store RGB images, with three - 'bands'. These are SEBASS images, which, I believe, have many more - than three bands. Actually, JPEG doesn't normally use RGB, it uses YCbCr, where brightness is along a single axis and two color axes are perpendicular to it. There are reasons for this, and they're actually quite sensible. :-) You probably COULD create a custom flavor of JPEG which stored a multi-spectral image using DCT compression, but you'd have to write custom software to view it, too. :-) Damien M.

UltraFractal, Tierazon2, Flarium24, Dreamer, etc. Don't know how to use them very well, but I've seen some rather impressive images from the masters on the list that have figured out these programs. I expect Fractint will become 24 bit and support Windows at some point in the future, sooner rather than later I hope. :-) I suspect that what is lacking is someone with the expertise to volunteer time to help out, though that is purely speculation on my part.

[snipped] - Is it possible to agree on a format for entry submission? eg: all images - must be 640x480, max of 256 colours etc? Um, did you visit the contest web site? The rules very much set down a particular size for submissions (although a few people submitted larger images anyway, and I didn't catch all of them before putting up the contest site). I included thumbnails for two reasons. First, so that it is easier to keep track of where you are if you have to visit the site several times. Second, so that when looking back through images for voting, you can quickly find the image you're looking for. Damien M.

How can we possibly chose? This is going to take some effort . . . You did a terrific job guys, and a BIG pat on the back for Damien! Thanks! I did have a couple of comments: Best Portrayal of an Emotion: I'm not certain what "emotion" is represented by some of the fractals. Is there more info on these somewhere, or was that info just left out by the contestants? Also, the voting: I agree that the comments from the viewers will be one of the advantages of the contest. But I'm really sorry that we will only comment on those images that we vote for. My comments will be something like, "Best Fractint Fractal I've ever seen." On the people I don't vote for, however, I may have some comments on how I would have framed the image or written the colormap. Regardless, the contest is a great success, and I will be spending many hours enjoying the show!

This is what the rules say about eligibility requirements: > We'd like for you to submit images created specifically > for this contest. Images which have previously had their > parameters posted, or which have been displayed on the > artist's web page, are not eligible. > There is no reference here to images being disqualified on account of their appearing on home pages *after* submission but before the voting is concluded. Indeed the word 'previously' lacks any specific reference, thus it must be construed as referring *only* to the time before submission. The tense employed in the second sentence quoted above supports this view. Consequently it is hard to escape the conclusion that according to the published rules of this contest everybody is free to post their entries to their web pages *now* if they so desire. As for myself, I do not propose to do so, but I am certainly opposed to any consensus which would compel one to withhold posting images until an extended voting period expires.

Please note: the complete contest web site will consume 40M of hard drive space. Downloading it is not for the faint of heart (or tight of space). :) Damien M.

I am strongly in favor of extending the voting period and letting folks post their images on their websites after the 19th as you suggested. I could not discern any problems, i.e. there were no complaints, during the last contest when we posted our contest entries during the voting.

Is that not sufficient? NO - curiosity doesn't only kill the cat.....besides, how do we know which sites not to visit? Only those worried that their image wont win without someone knowing they did it need display it (no offense to Maria Kjaergaard, your copyright shows already- haven't looked at all pics thou), a simple note saying they have a new image to be released on such-and-such date should leave viewers panting to come back when the pic is available(but not including the picture name). (sorry not sure when competition is decided) There is plenty of time to show off.... stick with it.... besides, wont it look better on your site if someone new who views your pic sees the prize attached to it, (they don't always come back)? regards, regina - Looking into a fractal is like looking into the soul. - the deeper you look, the more complex the structure - We sleep 1/3 of our lives.

Er... no!! I haven't actually - not yet, anyway, but I'll admit I've been slightly scared off after I visited some web pages that have been mentioned in the circulars, only to find myself downloading one page full of large images (7 or so) and following the comments about "a matter of deciding which audience I want to please most....the one with limited time or patience or my Fractint collegues. ", I decided that, given the amount of surfin' I do and how easily I (and others) click away from a page that takes ages to download - I fitted into the first category, and have shyed away from pages containing fractals until I find out a bit more than the pages. Guess this is just prejudice on my part, but I'm waiting until the weekend when call costs are cheaper and I'm at home (rather than work) to view some of the competition entries.

Are you confessing or accusing? Please be specific either way. >Only those worried that their image wont win without someone knowing they >did it need display it This is entirely unworthy. In the one case where someone definitely wants to display images that were submitted, it is because there was a pre-existing commitment. I could well see someone who used a fractal generator that is not so widely used as fractint wanting to display a large format version of their image (I certainly will be using the fractint pars made available to generate images at large sizes since many images loose a lot in smaller versions) and would not view this as being in any way improper. It does not make sense to have what is essentially a practical compromise on size (to make a practical contest web site) determine an important parameter for a work. -- Mike Traynor People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.

I think you did very well and you definetly produced some interesting images. I liked the Ace of Spades, particularly. Green Tornado was missing its colors, so you might want to re-post that. I took a cut at re-coloring your "Bug Mandelbrot" ........I thought you selected a very good map for it, BTW.....it requires a limited pallet. My two examples limit the pallet even more and the lottablk.map brings out some lacey features that could be worth a zoom. I thought you might like to play with that map because its great at exposing interesting structure in an image. You can always replace the colors if you want something more jazzy.

Thanks. I liked the Ace of Spades, too. :-) The map for Green Tornado is the greens.map that is distributed with Fractint.

Actually, I think I used the map that was distributed with the pars that I used as a starting point. Your choices are very interesting. I'm still getting a feel for how various maps translate to images, so I haven't taken much of a stab at custom modifications yet. Thanks for the input. Ken...

What I've been doing to explore new ideas, etc. is take an image that looks interesting as a starting point. I use partobat to create thumbnail images of all the pars that I've downloaded from the list and web sites. I'll often reset the image zoom to its default settings. Then start to explore different zooms from that point. And/or, I'll modify the forumla parameters to see what happens to the image. If I then find something that looks interesting, I'll save the parameter settings at that point into my par file. For me at this point, it is mostly an exercise in experimentation. Hope that helps some. Ken...

The .doc extension was in use for ASCII text files since at least 1980, and probably much longer than that, before Microsoft appropriated it for Word.

I don't think it's the ideal solution, but it's about the best that can be done with the current state of Fractint. Organizing pars has a little more flexibility. From Janet Preslar's Resource List: Partobat utility (version 3.4 for slower machines) (Michael Peters) http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/programs/IBMPC/PARTOB.ZIP http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JoWeber/jo_05.htm Partobat utility (version 3.5 for faster machines) (Michael Peters) http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JoWeber/jo_05.htm You'll need to modify the sstools.ini file for use with partobat. I think it might be part of the fracxtra stuff that you can download that has a bunch of pars/maps/frms/etc. for fractint. Get it if you don't have it. I had to put a copy of it in my windows directory in order for partobat to find the defaults I set up for it. You'll want to add entries for partobat per the instructions for partobat. Plus, you want to modify the settings for formulafile, parmfile, and savename to fit your situation. Make sure that fractint.exe is in your path. You will need to select a Disk Video mode for use with partobat. It may take a little bit of trial and error to get it right, but it works well. Good luck. Ken...

What sould have been said is run the FRACTINT program with the single parameter of MAKEDOC. This will create the file FRACTINT.DOC in the Fractint directory. P.N.L.

That committment should never have been made, aka rules, morals, fairness to other competitors... etc (in uni you can only submit a composition once, I liken this situation to that, as it is not terribly hard to make a new work and you are rewarded for the *one work in the one place* - but I have never actually seen all the rules, it is general knowledge, and you tend to only find out if you break the rules;-) Besides, how many good pics can one come up with, the bandwidth usage on alt.fractals.binaries.pictures says lots.... > I could well see someone who used a fractal >generator that is not so widely used as fractint wanting to display a >large format version of their image (I certainly will be using the >fractint pars made available to generate images at large sizes since many >images loose a lot in smaller versions) and would not view this as being in >any way improper. It does not make sense to have what is essentially a >practical compromise on size (to make a practical contest web site) >determine an important parameter for a work. *That* is the essence of competition. How we can work within limitation. I'll give you an unrelated example, a performing musician is his best on his own instrument. A pianist has no choice but to use the instrument presented to him/her. This apparently makes everything equal except that each instrument has a different timbre (quality of sound), mechanical action (easy, hard, you have to hit the damn key with a sledgehammer to get any decent volume**!##!!&(*())), even the size of the keys can vary. BUT everyone is judged equally on the same instrument. (But I *always* play better on my own piano). I know that we still know the performer, but they sound different on a different instrument and they are not allowed to bring their own instrument in to use. ie. the picture is judged according to the rules and its limitations, any further display of its exceptional beauty are outside the bounds of the competition and are available once the competition is over.

The implication is, for instance - that the voting in the fractint contest was biased as the names of the - submitters ... were known. Do you believe that this was so? Your use of the phrase "unseemly suspicion" would indicate that you feel this may be some personal slight against you. Nothing was aimed at you specifically. There's nothing unseemly about it, it's just recognition of human nature. Whether you admit the bias is there or not, it's there. If you wish to be offended by it, that is your option. I can tell you right now that I, being *aware* of the possibility of bias, can detect it as I look over the contest entries. I am seriously considering not voting because of it. I linger over the entries from those people whose work I admire, even when the image in question doesn't thrill me that much. Is that fair? I fight the urge, but I must always question my objectivity. I like to think I'm as human as the next guy, so if I can feel the influence when I know who created each image, should I assume nobody else would be affected? I'm not "accusing" you of anything I haven't already felt myself. Damien M.

The commitment had been made in light of the close of voting date. The problem arises because some folk feel they may lack time to do justice to the 250 or so images entered by the close of voting day, and so it was proposed to extend the date.

You should know that once Damien has the parameters (for those images whose submitters included them) out, anyone with the appropriate software will be able to generate the image at any resolution at all.

What to do? Why, read another tome of mine, of course! (All is not lost, as there are some pars and a couple of heavily commented formulas here, too.) Kerry Mitchell lkmitch@primenet.com www.primenet.com/~lkmitch/ comment { ; narrative copyright Kerry Mitchell 11sep98 Embossing Notary Publics and other important folks use embossing as a way of marking official papers. The embossing die puts a series of crimps onto the paper. This doesn't change the color of the paper, but makes hills and valleys that are visible as highlights and shadows. The "embossing" coloring method has a similar effect. Typically, the majority of the image is a middle gray. Contour bands (such as those between regions of constant dwell) are colored black and white, resembling shadows and highlights, respectively. Performed correctly, this gives a very convincing 3D effect to the image, reminiscent of a topographical map or architectural model. In general, embossing requires 2 test points for each pixel, and some discrete variable (call it D for this explanation). If D is the same for both test points (D1 = D2), then the pixel is colored middle gray. If D for the first test point is less than D for the second point (D1 < D2), then the pixel is colored black. Otherwise, D1 > D2, and the pixel is colored white. For example (B = black, W = white, G = gray): D1 (first test point): 1 23 45 2 5 9 34 0 1 19 D2 (second test point): 1 22 45 2 5 10 34 0 2 18 pixel color: G W G G G B G G B W In the present method, the test points are placed on either side of the pixel. Exactly where is determined by 2 parameters, the "size" and "lightangle". The apparant size of the contour bands in the image depends on how far apart the test points are, related to "size". Using a larger size will result in bigger, more dramatic bands. However, using large bands, particularly with decomp turned off, can lead to "seeing double" in your fractal. Typically, size=0.005 to 0.01 works well for full-scale images (magnification=0.66667), and it should be decreased as the magnification increases. The relative location of the highlights and shadows on a real embossed sheet depends on from where the light is coming. This is simulated with the "lightangle" parameter. Using a value of 0 would show highlights on the right side (0 degrees) and shadows on the left side (180 degrees). The highlights generally appear in the same direction given by lightangle; the shadows are generally on the other side, 180 degrees away. The discrete variable used here is the iteration number: how many iterations before the orbits escape. Colors are determined by assigning z one of 4 values, each of which has a different polar angle. Then, using "decomp=256" coloring will make each case show up clearly. If both test points have escaping orbits, then the pixel is colored one color (z = "black") if the 1st point escapes first, a 2nd color ("white") if the 2nd point escapes first, and a 3rd color ("gray") if they both escape on the same iteration. If both orbits don't escape before the maximum number of iterations is reached, then the pixel is colored using a 4th color (z = "other"). Of course, the colors that actually show up in your image will depend on your color palette. To add more flexibility, an elliptical bailout condition is used. In a typical Mandelbrot calculation, iteration ceases when |z| > bailout, which means [real(z)]^2 + [imag(z)]^2 > bailout. This gives a bailout boundary that is a circle. By changing the relative weights of real(z) and imag(z): [a*real(z)]^2 + [b*imag(z)]^2 > bailout, the bailout boundary is changed to an ellipse. The relative sizes of a and b will determine the eccentricity of the ellipse (long vs. circular vs. tall), and the minimum of a and b will determine how big the bailout ellipse is. For example, small a and large b would weigh the imaginary part more heavily in the bailout determination. For best results, a and b should both be <= 1. This method also uses the "strict" bailout condition: if a and b are both = 1, then the bailout radius depends on the magnitude of c. This brings the iteration contours closer together when c is small. Since this method emphasizes the contours so much, the more precise condition was chosen. Other discrete quantities can be used in this method, and continuous variables can be made discrete by using the round() and trunc() functions. But this is work for another time.

Date: 11 Sep 1998 11:10:18 -0700 Good morning. Just came from the hospital where my wife is facing minor surgery for the third time in three months. So, I am a little distracted. Last night, to keep myself occupied I took a couple of deep breaths, swallowed hard and made the decision to download the whole kit and kaboodle of the Contest98. A huge - a monumentally huge - step for me. Thanks to Linda I knew right where to go - went there and, gulping down an imaginary shot of bourbon, started things rolling. And all went well, (mostly thanks to Damien's masterful handling of the contest - and a hats off to Paul Lee also). I chose late night, since I figured the electronic systems would be less active than during the day. Got it going at 12:30 AM, went to bed, checked it at 2:30, a little over half way I think, and again at 5:10 in the morning. All done! Unzipping went well and installing, I installed it in c:\fractint\contes98\ (not sure about that last back-slash) - at least, I thought it was going well. BUT There's always a 'big but', isn't there? Everything is locked. I can't get to it. My guess: I used an evaluation copy of "WinZip". I had already done one download using it, and I'm presuming that WinZip considers that one download a "fair" evaluation and will not let me unlock my download until I buy their product. I'm willing to buy the product but I don't like my hand to be forced by an incomplete period of evaluation. Can anybody judge whether this is true or not, and if not, how to get the download unlocked? It's so frustrating to be so near and yet so far - "holding the banana just out of reach of the caged monkey." Would appreciate, very much, someone's advice on this. Incidentally, I'm using Win 95, lots of ram and lots of Hard Drive. What I'm not using is a lot of know-how.

Keeping the Contest Data Base up to date wasn't too much of a hassle. And having to reply to those that either hadn't read the Rules or didn't follow them was not too bad either. It was testing most of the parameters to make sure they were correct, and/or trying to create them based upon just the image or partial parameters that took some effort. I also tried to keep the Entries webpage up to date with the latest counts (until I lost my access). I had been converting the Data Base into several HTML Tables (in various forms of criteria) so that Damien and Kerry Mitchell could see the latest results via the web. All in all, it wasn't too bad and a lot of fun (until the last few days when everybody decided to submit images). :-) > > Everything is locked.

I used to have an evaluation copy which worked well everytime that I tried it. I used it for many files before I decided that I should pay for what I had been using. > > Can anybody judge whether this is true or not, and if not, > how to get the download unlocked? Do you still have the installation executable for the WinZIP setup?? You might try just re-instaling it to get it functioning again.

If, as you say above, "unzipping went well," and you installed (I am assuming you mean extracted) the files to a folder, Winzip is done with, and the problem is elsewhere. Unfortunately I don't know just exactly what you mean by "everything is locked." How are you trying to "get to it"? What you downloaded is, in effect, a home page based on the file index.html, which is included in the zip file. Find it, and try double clicking it. It should come up in Netscape or Internet Explorer, and you can take it from there.

I believe winzip doesn't restrict anything to an unregistered copy, but only gives you a warning when you're legal time's up. Anyway, you may try do 'register': name: Ray serial: E76E0153.

What > I'm not using is a lot of know-how. Ray: I also use an evaluation copy of WinZip6.3. Up to this moment, I have done lots of downloads and lots of unzipping with this tool, without problems. As far as I know, you don't even need to buy it, although it's always advisable. (BTW, I'll recomend my boss to buy it for the company). I don't know what your real problem might be, but at least I can say that it's not registration. Have you tried to unzip with the "wizard" mode?

The program still survives at Spanky and at my site.... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3825/Software.htm There are deep zooms for which this method is the only way to see what is going on. And there are not so deep zooms but points close the MSet components which also need this method. I had a special version which showed the light source coming from all angles around the compass as you color cycle. A real WOW. I have tried to reproduce the method in Fractint but have never been happy with the results. Thanks for the formulas. For those who are new to fractals, a little history. Deepzoom came to life overnight almost 5 years ago (10-19-93) after there was complaining on sci.fractals and the FRACL email list that we had no extended precision fractal programs to play with. Someone wrote they had seen on for sail for $90 and someone else bragged they made one in BASIC, zooming to 40 digit depths. But a gloom was setting in over the list. What to do when the digits run out... I had coded the embossing method in Turbo Pascal a few years earlier, along with a wide range of coordinate transformations, and was learning C++. Now in C++, the complex arithmetic class allows you to write formulas just like you do for ordinary math. You don't have to separate out real and imaginary parts. So the MSet formula is just z = z*z+c; with the variables z and c defined as complex. I had just discovered a complex class and was having great fun with it studying Feigenbaum points. It was written by two students in Europe (Kaufmann Friedrich & Mueller Walter) which provided 72 digit math in the free shareware version and many hundreds of digits in the registered version. So, in about two hours I had a 72 digit version up and going. The next morning with great flare I posted its availability (and it was FREE) to the lists. More than 200 asked for a copy. It was the real kick Fractint needed to get extended precision going. You can see the Fractint equivalent of one of my early Deepzooms here... http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/params/JHILL.PAR Of course, it looks much different in Deepzoom, because it was 'embossed' in that program. The filaments show up much better. Funny story, the registration was $20, so I sent a check off to the authors. I got an email in a few weeks thanking me as the first to register from the USA! (And that 70% of the $20 went to the banks for depositing, exchange and other fees!!!! So I sent them another $20 in cash (yes, a green back)! We still chat by email once in a while.) You can see this old program in action yourself, just download it from ... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3825/Depzm13.zip Now its graphics are about 3 or 4 hardware versions out of date and will run better on an old 386 than a modern video card. I think the 640x480x16 and 320x200x256 modes still work. You will find several versions of the program, each with different sets of exact tests for points in low period (1-4) components. This greatly speeds up plotting the MSet when these components are in the image. I notice Kerry's formula has periodicity checking disabled. That is often the case with these special effects in Fractint. :-( That is one reason why I have posted my exact tests in the Dr. J series. It seems they are often useful. Thanks again for the formulas.

I must always question my objectivity. I always question my own objectivity too. Fortunately that is not what I intend to use to judge. I intend to use my subjectivity. I intend to be totally egotistical and judge solely on what I think of an image without any concern for any 'objective' measure of worth. I think that it comes down to one's concept of art. Mine centres around the idea that art reaches directly into the person and resonates with some element of their personality. For this, subjectivity is what the viewer brings to the table. In fact, the only thing each of us can uniquely contribute is our own subjectivity. By definition, objectivity is not connected with any particular person and anyone can supply that. This is one reason I think that the comments on images would be of more value than raw votes, though having one of Sharon's very cool Frackies (singular: Fracky - is there an official name for them?) to display will be very nice for the winners. It is like having a fruit salad. The total number of pieces of fruit is much less interesting than the variety of tastes of the fruits included in the salad. -- Mike Traynor People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.

I have been able to get to them by punching a few other buttons and going through a maze of side-doors and alleys - but, get to them I did. For the record I could not find the key to the locks. The locks were as follows. On the icons, which were pictures of two-drawer filing cabinets with a giant clamp holding the cabinets, one jaw on top and the other jaw on the bottom with the tightenng screw assembly along the side. The icons with those clamps would do nothing, not open not quiver, nothing - except sit there quietly and whimper. So, I presumed, wrongly, (is it ever wise to presume?) that WinZip had locked them - and indeed, I think they have, but not for the scurrilous reason I attributed to them.

Yes, I remember those days. I was using FORTRAN and a version of BASIC to do my own numerical analyses. For a bit of my own history, I started working with fractals in 1985, when I was an aerospace engineer at NASA Ames. I wrote fortran programs to do the calculation, and print the iteration counts to a text file. Then, I would download those files onto my Amiga 1000 for the rendering in basic. I wrote my own encoding programs like uuencode to convert the binary to ascii for the transfer. I was writing (extremely crude) fractal animations back then, too. I also used a version of BASIC called UBASIC to do some serious study of the Mandelbrot set. UBASIC, a freeware basic interpreter, was written for number theory work, and can handle something like 2600 digits. Once, in a fit of anger, I wrote a fractal program for the Commodore 64. A salesperson told me that the C-64 couldn't handle the math, thus there were no fractal programs for it. I sure proved him wrong! My routine blazed along at the breakneck speed of 1 pixel per week, give or take a month. :-) Progress is good.

Well, here were the Rules as established before images were being submitted: 13. Voters should select one image in each category as the "best". Please do not skip categories! If you submitted an image in that category, you may vote for it if you wish. 16. Votes will be sent via e-mail. Each person will only be permitted to vote once. And besides, if you do try to vote for less than all catagories, you will receive the following message: Your vote was not accepted because you did not fill out all the required information. You must select an image in each category, as well as provide your name and e-mail address. Please check all items and submit your votes again. Sorry, but that is the current state of affairs. Better get that new box of crayons. (You will only need to write down 13 image numbers, so if paper for notes is hard to find, find a blank spot on the wall.) ;-} P.N.L. http://www.fractalus.com/cgi-bin/theway?ring=fractals&id=43&go Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Angela Wilczynski" Subject: Re: (fractint) Zip locks Date: 11 Sep 1998 23:57:14 -0700 Ray.....

Date: 12 Sep 1998 15:27:29 -0700 Hi to all who can read. This is a thank you letter to Damien, Paul and Kerry. The undertaking was enormous, almost an impossible task. Where there are two people there will always, eventually, be two opinions and where there are close to two hundred people..........!!!! Yet, in spite of these odds you were able to bring together in one compact, well-run, easy to use and easy to understand and easy to be a part of, fun, fascinating and absorbing contest. This was a feat that I believed could not be done. Have a contest, yes, but one that was as well done? My heartiest congratulations. Think of it. (I'll use the figure 200 for ease of use.) Think of it. 200 people, each submitting 3 images and each submitting at least one and some three and four more questions and opinions and disagreements and in twelve different categories, plus a voting sheet that must go out to all and then received back and tabulated - My God! It Just Can't Be Done!! And, yet, you did it. What impresses me more than anything, is that the end result was perfect. Flawless! (Little glitches don't count.) And, it must be remembered that on top of the contest, you gentlemen had to maintain your own affairs - and, depending on the time of year - that could be mountainous. How much was postponed? Yeah, I bet. No trouble, eh? Yeah, I bet! I hate to think of how much more there is to do, and then you must catch up with your own lives. I, personally, could not say thank you enough without running over the prescribed message-quantity limitations of this list. I'm glad I finally joined in instead of hanging back and becoming just an onlooker. I'm really glad that, good, bad or indifferent, I was a part of it. Sharon should have made special awards for you guys. Thanks again.

I personally prefer to use fractint via dosemu over xfractint. Okay, color-cycling doesn't work properly then. But it's much better than two windows that never fit both on my screen and keyboard commands that don't work in the plot window. Like some already said, a SVGALib version would be great!

Like other members of this list, I have been eagerly viewing the images at the Contest website and feel compelled to express my belated thanks to the organizers. My hat goes off to Damien and Kerry and Paul! We all talked about having a contest, but you stepped forward and made it happen. Though this is late in the game, I feel that some recognition could be given to those artists in each category whose entries will just miss being winners. With the large number of entries submitted, many of these second and third place images will nonetheless be fractals of great beauty and aesthetic quality. Will the complete vote tallies for each category be posted at the contest site after Sept.19 so that the world will know who these artists are? ****************************************************************************** ****************** Mark Aksoy, maksoy@aol.com http://members.aol.com/maksoy/vistfrac/vistfrac.htm (site #35 on the Infinite Fractal Loop). http://members.aol.com/fractasy/fractasy.htm Why does my landscape keep printing out sideways? ****************************************************************************** ****************** Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ray Montgomery Subject: (fractint) Re: Fractint;-Non-Fractint Date: 15 Sep 1998 11:33:43 -0700 Sharon wrote: "...And why Best Fractint and Best Non-Fractint?...." If you were having a best 'ART' contest, you would have to have categories, i.e., Oil, Watercolors, Pastel, Pen and Ink, Charcoal, Pencil, etc. etc. It is the old saw comparing Apples and Oranges. You could not, in all fairness, compare a colored piece of work, an oil painting for example, to a bronze sculpture and have it make any sense except in the narrowest sense of personal preference. As for the writing contest, it is not best Microsoft vs. Non-Microsoft, that is not what is being compared. Unless, of course, you are judging the comparative merits of two or more fractal generating programs. You are comparing the artistic merits of the finished products. However, each program has some advantages, and some disadvantages. You can do A, B, and X with program 1, and X, A, B and L with the second and on and on to as many generating programs as there are. "Well, my image would have been just as pretty as yours if I had 27,000 colors to work with, the way you had, or if I had been able to zoom in 4,000,000 times the way you did...." I thought it was a wise thing to do, myself, having that division. I learned so much about the differences in programs, - and also, in post-processing, just from this contest alone. And, I do think that, as a few people have said, the essence of the contest is the learning process, and as the contest stands, I REALLY learned a lot. The rest of the category discussions matter considerably less to me. They seem more of an incentive and provocative stimulation than anything else. They can be more or less, to the group's taste. But, even they provoked a more intense and selective way of looking at the images - so, though less, they too provided an increased learning process. Just some thoughts stimulated by Sharon's letter.

Jones" Subject: (fractint) Contest Voting Deadline Date: 15 Sep 1998 13:57:29 -0500 Greetings folks, I have observed the debate concerning the contest voting deadline, originally set for this Saturday night. I have also received numerous private comments; I did not reply directly to all of them, but they *were* read. As a result, I have decided the following: 1. The voting deadline will be extended to 10PM PDT, September 27, 1998. Note that this is now a Sunday night, not a Saturday night. 2. The implication in the rules has always been that artist names would not be revealed until *judging* was finished, not just the submissions period. Thus, I request that artists refrain from posting any images on their personal web sites, or to a newsgroup. If you have a prior commitment that conflicts with the extended voting deadline, please send me private e-mail and we'll talk about it. One of the biggest reasons (but certainly not the only reason) for extending the deadline is that the FractInt PAR kit is not yet available, and the difficulties people have had with the size of the contest.

The "Elitist" group. Those who have 'elected' themselves 'superior'. Sooner or later you will find someone who is 'superior' to you. If you are really saying that the Newbie will be intimidated I express my personal opinion that that is not so. I was not going to join the contest because I did not know how to manipulate all the processes that were necessary to join, not because I thought my offerings might be inferior. I KNEW they would be inferior, but if I am to learn, and learn well, than I take my lumps. I'm not a masochist, I wouldn't like to see myself at the bottom of the list, but if I know that's where I belong, I know that I must learn more and learn to do better. I am so happy, now, that I was finally able to enter, thanks to Linda and Damien, because I had a stake in it, I was a PART of it, not an outside looking on, as I might and could have been. I was not in it as a "Newbie", I was just 'in it', I was a part of it. If you are saying that you just can't be bothered having so many 'poor quality' images entered, then I say "Fie on't." I don't really think that anybody thinks that, but it comes dangerously close to creating 'another' schism, an 'elitist' group and 'all the rest' or the 'second-class' group. Will we have a happy, integrated group or a divided group? Everybody on the list is, to some extent or another, still learning. It unifies the group. This is a new medium - still growing.

I think there should actually be one big categorie, in which all the entries are all placed. And the voters would judge *all the images* on several points, like use of color, general beauty, expression, etc. After all, when somebody writes a movie, he or she doesn't write it focussing 1 particular Oscar (or other award). What I mean is, that if you send in your fractal, thinking the colors are beautiful, you might still win the 'Best mechanical device'-award 'cause the majority saw a screwdriver in your image... Or you see just an hammer and a scythe while most voters appear to see the Russian flag, and you'll win the 'Best expression'instead of the "Best mechanical device"...

I'm running Fractint under Win95 in a 1024x768x256 background video mode, batch-generating fractals from Les St. Clair's collection of pars (through May 1998). This has been successful (I have 1277 GIFs, using 344 MB) until just recently, when I got a message that it's performing an illegal operation. When I tried DOS mode, Fractint just freezes. When I manually load the params that Fractint is crashing on, they work fine. I just completed a reformat and reinstall of Win95, so the installation should be clean. Any help that you could give me would be welcome. Thanks! Joel Iwashige "Hit any key to continue." Where's the 'any' key?

The long term solution is for me to find the time to upgrade it to 32 bit :-). Ron Barnett -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 1998 2:12 PM Ken, My makemap.exe runs just fine under Win95, with the bwcc.dll file, which you say you have. On the other hand, I have a file called bwcc32.dll, which, frankly, I don't know what it is for. The name suggests some relationship, so if you would like to try it, e-mail me personally and I will send it to you to try (206KB).

How long has that been out, if such there be and if such there be, how would one find out more about it and will it dispense with humans? :-\ ? It sounds like a neat idea,(again, if there is such a thing) for the lazy man approach - and the quick-strike approach. But not necessarily for the 'artistic' approach.

It is available for download on my web site. http://members.aol.com/RBarn0001. You will need bwcc.dll to run the program. The dll should be available free at a number of sites on the internet.

This formula generates images where flat ribbons are = the main theme. I was able to put this collection together with the aid of a PERL scrip= t developed by Ken Childress. (Thanks a bunch Ken!) Originally I posted a= request to the Fractint group for a utility to parse pars so that I cou= ld analyze sets of parameters such as fn1, fn2, etc. Ken answered my reque= st by posting the script and then coached me though installing PERL on my Win95 system. It turned out that my first use of Ken?s tool was to sort my entire set= of pars by formula. When I saw how many of the better pars were based on diff_delt1, I looked over the set and decided to send my choice of the = best ones out to the group. Some of these have been posted at my web site. (The set of pars at the end of the list were developed over that last f= ew days. They have an Autumn tinge to them; frost, rust and gold colors. Perhaps they signal the return of crisp, cool days to here on the East Coast. I hope so.) Here they are.

Sound like screen corruption to me. Try invoking fractint with one of the following parameters : fractint textsafe=3Dyes fractint textsafe=3Dbios fractint textsafe=3Dsave One of those should do the trick.

I understand that the Julia Set is related to the Mandelbrot Set. What I don't understand is how one comes up with the parameters for the Julia Set in those formulas that accept a Julia Set parameter. Is there some logical method behind choosing the values for a particular image or is it more trial and error to see what image results? Thanks, Ken...

More specifically, the nature of the Mandelbrot set in the neighborhood of a point c is similar to the nature of the Julia set for that parameter c. For example, if c is inside one of the "lake" areas of the Mandelbrot set, then its Julia set will also have "lakes". Or, if c is taken from outside the Mandelbrot set, then its Julia set will be a "dust": comprised of isolated points in open space. Points c exactly on the boundary of M will yield Julias that are "dendrites", that is, thin connected lines with no interior. Examples of the 3 cases are c=0, c=1, and c=(0,1). And I've probably made a technical mistake here, but the general gist is ok. I think. More pragmatically, to find neat Julia parameters, go zooming around the Mandelbrot set until you find a spot that you like. If it's a specific point, put that in the center of your zoom window. Then, hit "z" and f6 to bring up the "center-mag" coordinates of your current window. The parameter of interest is listed as the center. An easy way to get a point into the center of the window is to move your zoom box (without resizing) so that a corner (upper left, say) is right on the point you want. Press return to start drawing the new image. Then, immediately get a new zoom box, again without resizing. Move the zoom box as far to the same direction (up and left) as you can. Fractint will only allow the zoom box to go halfway, so the old corner, which was the point you were interested in, is now in the middle of the window.

Hi Ken, You can see this on a web page I've just put up containing some interesting images I made some time ago while experimenting with an early prototype of the new fractint parameter evolver (not here yet, wait for v20... no I can't say when..., OK soonish :-) )The images show a large number of tiny julia sets all placed on the screen such that their centres correspond to the value of c used to calculate them, you can clearly see the relationship with the Mset. Take a peek here if you will: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/members/robin.b2/julmos.htm Also have you tried the nifty dynamic julia set generation you get when you hit space bar from a Mandlebrot set image? It's pretty cool to move the mouse round and watch the julia change according to where the crosshairs are pointing on the Mset! Cheers, Robin.

Not only would it save us all a lot of repetitive effort (as we all obviously go through the same or similar process of setting up our hard drives and - daily, weekly or monthly - archive most or all of the files), but it would also provide a permanent archive of the end product, rather than "something-which-will-produce-the-ACTUAL-IMAGE- with-just-a-little-more-work". After all, this list is about images, as well as how they are generated. A CD archive will make the images themselves more acessible, and I think, would be a welcome addition.

It took way too much energy to do more than once or twice a year- at least a contest like this where people choose the best of their work with few restrictions. Also, people more or less stopped posting pars to the list or commenting on them for >2 months. (Maybe this was because it was summer.) I really liked trying to guess who made which set of fractals- how about a smaller event where you try to guess who made an image? Jack Valero did something like this on his web page a few months ago. Or how about a kind of showcase, like here's part of a formula and you do different coloring methods. Maybe use the formula from last year's contest and do different coloring methods based on it. I don't think enough people write new coloring methods that I'd really want to vote on it, but it would be really nice to see what they would come up with.

What's all the hub-bub about video cards not working right with Fractint? If you get your BIOS fixed, there shouldn't be a problem. I just exchanged it for an STB 16MB AGP and will be trying it out too. I want to play some 3D games ^_^. I just updated the BIOS on this new card as well. There are still some bugs in it though. But STB is working on fixes.

It would reduce the possibility of pics being chosed by others for personal gain as they would be even more freely available to be bought and we all remember the exceptional ones. We could in fact produce a "book" though not on paper - that is where our technology is taking us. We could include biographies etc and stories on how the pics were created, why, where, anything that the artist wanted said within realistic limits. We would see the progress of quality, the growing of styles, changes in personalities. It's amazing what you can discover about a person by looking at the fractals they produce, the names they choose, the colours they use etc. The only problem would be: are we honest enough to maintain a service like this for the benefit of the artists involved, or would we open a loophole for some scoundrel to take on the job and reap all the profits. I believe this should be left up to the artists themselves to decide. Would each artist be prepared to archive and forward all of their works in an appropriate format, or will someone collect it and archive it? Who will be in charge? Has this topic been discussed to any great length previously? Do any of the artists make CD's of their artwork already? Fractals are a legitimate art form yet few artists know of them, more mathematician/computer scientists know about them. Let's make them widely known. (We don't have to reveal all secrets;-) For those who say archives exist on the net: there are thousands of pics, thousands of locations, we don't always have a connection to the web, we don't all have facilities to save all the pics we want (nor want to go against the artists wishes). And yet there is something good about viewing certain fractals - to ease the heart, soul, body and whatever else it is like a drug - we see the world in a swirl of different colours and structures. I remember seing my first fractal - over 10 years ago, and would like to view those in the void of that time. There was a lot of development. It would be a shame if at the end of the next ten years there would be people thinking these same thoughts as I am now about past pics. bye, regina Music is my life, Fractals are my soulmates, Administration provides me with money.

While I'm not prepared to start producing fractal CD 'books' just yet, [and I do think some of the more serious artists on this listserv might have some issues with that], I'm going to experiment with putting September's pars on CD at the end of the month, I think. I will also include the contest entrants. So, I'm posting with a few questions: 1) Do any artists here have an objection to such a collection, if I distributed it only to members of the list? I can't see a reason why one would, but I don't want to step on any toes, so do speak up if you see a problem with this. 2) What graphics formats are called for? I guess I would render each image in 1600x1280, 1280x1076 (have to use diskvideo for those for now, sigh) 1024x768 and 800x600; should I include 640x480 as well? 3) What would be the best way(s) to structure the CD? by artist, by formula, etc... should I include HTML pages to browse it with... should I separate .par and .frm files... et cetera... 4) Will people who would be interested in getting such a thing, at cost (about $2 plus shipping of a light package) e-mail me (ian_kaplan@bigfoot.com) so that I can get an idea of how much interest there is?

I know that some of you do VERY beautiful images with Fractint, some of them being amongst the best of this contest. But since I use true color programs I don't use now, and I think that I will never use Fractint in the future (as long as it is limited to 256 colors). It is why I am interested by the others in the list. It is clear that Stephen Ferguson's programs are the most frequently used after Fractint. I am very happy for Stephen, who has given to the fractal community a very valuable new scheme for coloring fractals and who has made several very good and easy to use programs. I am in very friendly terms with him. But I am also in equally friendly terms with Terry W. Gintz and I am disappointed to see that no program he made is in the list. They are very great ones, they need a bit more math than Stephen's programs, but Fractint users are not afraid by this. No concurrence between these 2 programmers (they work together for the new versions of their programs and I like Stephen's as well as Terry's ones). It seems that I hear an objection : "and you, what program have you used ?". Unfortunately I have sent nothing to this contest for several personal reasons (I regret this !) but I see that this contest offers very high quality images and 3 personal images would not change anything to the pleasure that I have to look at the contest site..

I'd thrilled to have even half the understanding of the Math behind fractals that you continue to display. This would be a good time to also thank you for the various examples and explanations that I've seen you post within the brief time that I've been a part of this list. I confess that I don't understand all of them yet but I save them aside, hoping that eventually it will all come together in my head! Waiting for the preverbal light bulb I guess. OK... Now for the embarrassing admission. I guess I confused the various "Biomorphs". The one I fell in love with, looks like a single Tree. The trunk continues branching upward, to the sides and then downward to ultimately create a circle around the centered trunk. I found an exe file that creates the image in dos but I've not found any formulas that create a tree that branches to create a circle. Have you ever tried anything like that?

For quite some time now, something has been bothering me about the formulas. After reading one of Jim Muth's explanations for his FOTD's, it suddenly hit me. I don't know where to start with a lot of the formulas. Let me explain what I mean. You choose a formula, then hit 'Z' to add some parameters. Most formulas let you select real and imag parts of a few points and maybe choose some functions. But the formula gives no hint as to a good place to start. When I choose the multirot-XY-ZW formula, I have no clue what the range is supposed to be for the various points. Everything starts at zero. I have been playing around with this formula on my own, and I have never figured out where a good range is. Finally, after a post recently by Jim Muth, I know what some of the points are supposed to represent. I know I can try to sort through the math in the formulas and try to guess, but would it be possible for people to put in the comments something like "try this at .5/0/1/-.5/sin". After all, the creator of a formula should know a good place to start, and maybe even give a hint as to what the parameters really mean. Some formulas come up with parameters other than zero's. Is it possible to save a formula with parameters already set? I don't know about everybody else, but I sure would appreciate a few more hints in the comments of a formula.

They are certainly new for me cause I haven't seen any program that can generate these, including Fractint. Anyway, I have posted some of these images at http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/8660/4fractid.html and I would like to hear opinions of people with more knowledge about this. I will be explaining how I did these if it turns out that the images are of some interest other than visual. Anyway, if you can spare some time, just take a look and let me know what you think. Even if you think it´s junk, I'd like to know. Thanks.

I have tried to do this with my own formulae (which are mainly colouring methods applied to Mandelbrot/Julia/Julibrot) and I find the comments useful myself, as I can easily forget what parameter does what! I invariably find that I can produce much better results with someone else's formula/colouring method after I understand it, and I get good results so much quicker if I have some default parameters. Part of the problem is explaining your formula to someone else - it's very easy to follow a particular idea so far down the line that when you come to explain it you've probably forgotten how you got there in the first place. Trying to explain your idea in comment blocks is also difficult - often you would double the length of every formula, which could make the formula *more* difficult to understand.

I have checked the site. The images are indeed related to the M-set, and they are also related to the Julia sets. They are in fact hybrids, with both Julia and Mandelbrot characteristics. All the Julia sets can be combined into a single four-dimen- sional object. All the perturbed Mandelbrot sets can also be combined into a single four-dimensional object, and these 4-D objects are the same object sliced in a completely perpendicular direction. Your fractals are slices in different directions through this 4-D object, which I call the Julibrot. >I will be explaining how I did these if it turns out that the >images are of some interest other than visual.

The formula also draws many oblique slices through the Julibrot figure. Check the Fractal Art list, where I post my "Fractal of the Day" every day. I often discuss the 4-D Julibrot figure in my daily discussion.

I generated these images by taking both the real and imaginary parts of the z and c variables in the Mandel/Julia equation z = z^2 + c as independent variables to define a space of four dimensions and then selecting different planes (2D slices) of this fractal. The images can be made in fractint, and as someone pointed out, fractint can draw just about anything. What I meant was that it wasn't a standard fractal type. I will be uploading the program I used to generate these images to the same page I posted the images soon (give me a day or two) just in case someone is curious and wants to look at it.

There are plenty of similar views lying around as you cycle through the functions available. I've included a second version of the par (star-flowers4s) where I've cycled the colors so that you can see some imperfections in the image. In the upper-left and lower-right-middle, you can see some smearing in the direction in which Fractint evaluates the fractal. This happens quite often with this formula (for certain fn1 functions) and I usually hide it by matching the color of the smear to the background areas. Most times this is successful as you can see in star-flowers4. I can minimize the smearing by using passes=1 rather than passes=g, but it won't go away completely. Can some of you formula gurus tell me what is happening? Can I fix the formula to get rid of it? Is it due to loss of precision? I designed this formula to especially investigate the possibilities of taking the difference of two nearly identical expressions, so precision is a distinct possibility. Anyway, thanks for any advice that you can give.

Date: 27 Sep 1998 10:50:12 -0000 Dear fractaleer, In the beginning of this month, I asked all of the members of that time (well, there won't be much new members in that time) whether they want to be listed in a list of ICQ # available to all list members, but it can also be found in the list archives and on the Internet. At the time of writing this, there were about 70 entries in the list. These entries had been added by Paul N. Lee and me, but not all on your request. The reason for canceling these entries now is privacy: you're being listed. And a lot of people (and I can agree with that) are against being listed too much, even if it is just about having some protection against being spammed. There are also a lot of members who have given me permission. Unfortunately, I am unable to track all of you down. So as a precaution, *all* entries are deleted. On the other hand, I'd like the list to be as complete as possible! Unfortunately, the number of replies has been surprisingly (that is, to *me*), low. I really want to ask you again: please supply me (e-mail address at the bottom) with your ICQ #. A lot of #s make the # List a valuable resource. I've included parts of my original request (September 5) below. "I guess there are a lot of people on the list who actually do have a number and haven't let me know yet. There are also people on the list who have about five accounts, probably four of them not working." "This request will be only made once (that's this time). Okay, maybe I'll repeat it in a year or so." "If you don't know what an ICQ # is, and are interested in the phenomenon, want to use or abuse it, or just want to join over 4,000,000 others, visit www.mirabilis.com " "Feel welcome to flame me, to my personal address please, if you think I spammed you :-)" "So, in short: Please mail me your ICQ # if you have one."

It is a 16 bit app developed using Borland C++. It needs bwcc.dll, not bwcc32.dll. I have had good intentions of upgrading the app to 32 bit, but my hectic work schedule has prevented me. I am currently traveling almost 90% of the time. Over the years I have had occasional reports of problems under Win95, but I have been unable to reproduce them on my system, which is also running Win95. The long term solution is for me to find the time to upgrade it to 32 bit :-). Ron Barnett -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 1998 2:12 PM Ken, My makemap.exe runs just fine under Win95, with the bwcc.dll file, which you say you have. On the other hand, I have a file called bwcc32.dll, which, frankly, I don't know what it is for. The name suggests some relationship, so if you would like to try it, e-mail me personally and I will send it to you to try (206KB).

Here's a set of Fractint formulas and pars to implement his ideas. Kerry Mitchell lkmitch@primenet.com www.primenet.com/~lkmitch/ comment { Fractal Dimension coloring Stephen Ferguson posted an analysis of fractal dimension, which he based on an algorithm by Holger Jaenisch. The formulas here take Stephen's analysis and implement it in Fractint. Since the fractal dimension can be computed for either the real or the imaginary parts of z (actually, for any bounded set of real numbers), a plotting flag in the formula tells which component to use. Set the flag to 1 to plot the fractal dimension of the real component, 2 for the imaginary component, or 3 for the magnitude. Any other value uses the 2 component dimensions as the real and imaginary parts of a new complex variable, and plots by the polar angle of that variable. The "fdim" formulas implement Stephen's analysis as written. This includes a "2-1/(0.5+n/d)" scaling, where n and d both involve log functions. This may be mathematically accurate, but obscures the detail by reducing the dynamic range of the variables (the variables change to little to be seen with the standard Fractint coloring schemes). Consequently, the "fdim2" formulas remove the scaling, and color essentially by n/d. Also, the absolute value restriction was removed from the compilation of the mean and standard deviation. Both statistics handle negatives well, and this allows the method to properly handle non-symmetric orbits. Preliminary tests indicate that the fundamental nature of the images is unchanged, although the "fdim2" formulas are simpler and should run faster. As fractal dimension calculations involve bounded sets, this method is best suited for "inside" colorings. Therefore, if the orbit escapes, it is assigned the value of 1.0, which corresponds to color 0 when using the "decomp" coloring. Decomp=256 is recommended for this method. } fdim-man-x { ; copyright Kerry Mitchell 26sep98 ; ; sample of fractal dimension coloring ; uses real component of z, Mandelbrot set ; reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=fractint.frm cyclerange=0/255 formulaname=fdim2_man center-mag=-0.7/0/1.1 params=4.7/1 float=y maxiter=100 inside=0 decomp=256 periodicity=0 colors=000<61>y00z00z00z10<61>zz0zz0yy1<61>00z00z11z<61>zzz } fdim-man-y { ;

You will find 65 images there, arranged in seven sections. In addition, I added six more images to my page featuring images based on Sylvie Gallet's formulas, and a second page of modified fractals. As a result, push came to shove on my Geocities site, and I had to move some pages to Fortunecity, although everything remains to be linked from my main Geocities home page. I invite you to visit.

This means that some incompetent system administrator has installed some brain-dead mail software written by four-year-olds who aren't competent to program their way out of a bubble-sort assignment. Flame the hell out of the bastard; they should know better than to inflict their goddamned broken shitty software on everybody on the Internet.

(I'm still wondering who made Untitled 1, 2 and 3!) When they announced the contest I was afraid that I would not have anything suitably original. Right after that I tried putting Gravijul into Paul Carlson's Spir_stalks_jul. This formula was great, very amenable to this sort of fiddling and was versatile. It made lots of different images.

(Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that people that are bad at programming should not be releasing email software. They probably also shouldn't try to teach how to program.) BTW: you can do a bubble sort with one loop if you try. ;) Kragen -- Kragen Sitaker A well designed system must take people into account. . . .

I've been putting different short simple formulas into the iteration portion of the coloring method formulas and wanted to try something besides gravijul. A couple of months ago R.Parracho (I think) posted a nice image from one of the built-in Barnsley formulas. I had a couple of pars (Calm and Schizoid) based on this. The Fractint built-in formulas have a slightly different nomenclature when you press "z" but I thought the difference was simple. When I wrote the Barnsley formula it came out different. (az1 to az4 ) It looks a lot like Les St.Clair's Basket Weave from Tent-in-Mod, I don't know *why* these look alike, this kind of *why* is probably the wrong question to ask. Finally I put it into Spir_Stalks_Jul by Paul Carlson, world's most versatile formula. az1 { ; kathy roth 1998 reset=1960 type=formula formula\ file=fractint.frm formulaname=k1barn center-mag=0.989304/-0.535359/0.3786675 params=0.6/1.1/4/0 } az3 { ; kathy roth 1998 reset=1960 type=formula formula\ file=fractint.frm formulaname=k1barn center-mag=0.96088/-0.971173/0.6512441 params=1/1.1/4/0 colors=000F8A<11>`GM<4>SCH000kkkNA\ EC67<14>zUO<14>C67856756<13>AkYAn_Bp`<3>9eU9bS9_Q9XO9\ UM<7>756756<8>EBVEBXFC_FCbGDe\ GDgHEjIFl<2>GDeFCbEC_EBXDAV<8>756756<9>XcQ_fSb\ iUelWhoYjr_mu`<15>756\ 756<13>M7bO7dO8f<2>M7_L7YJ6W<9>85\ 8756756<15>dlh<12>DDDBAA978756756867<8>M\ KLNLMPMNQNOSOPTPQUQR<14>96775685\ 6<2>D79 } az2 { ; kathy roth 1998 reset=1960 type=formula formula\ file=fractint.frm formulaname=k1barn center-mag=-1.06e-005/-0.9\ 71176/0.04167969 params=0.35/1.1/4/0 colors=K58llu<6>00c00k00t00k00c0\ 0X00R00M<2>00D00B00A009<15>USh<2>MJc<25>\ eDGeDFfDEfDDgDChCB<2>`ABY9AV9AT89Q79N69\ H48<5>005<14>vvv<16>008<15>oc0<12\ >B8200485253210310300400420330340360\ 2802B01F01K01Q40XC0eP0oc0<5>tmT<7>zU\ 3<10>aLDB04F03K03Q03X03e03o13<4>rKL<4>uaE\ udCvgAvj8wm6<2>zw0<3>ig4<9>upz<\ 9>MP9<6>bhG<7>zzzssw } az5 { ; kathy roth 1998 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=fractint.frm formulaname=kbarn_Spir_Stalks_ center-mag=0.164341/0.182417/13.33431/1.0001 params=0.6/1.1/0.24/150/8/30 outside=summ colors=000mrrmrr<5>AUU<21>011gnh\ fmfelf<2>UdW<23>DIElkX<3>hdLfbHfbH<22>KH\ 5wrl<14>hS7fQ4dP4<11>F92wtt<15>`NOZKL\ YKK<10>F99vuv<19>SNVQLTPKSOJQ<5>FCH\ llp<28>EEKmuu<18>DWXBUVBTU<7>6HI000<13>000 } az4 { ; kathy roth 1998 reset=1960 type=formula formula\ file=fractint.frm formulaname=k1barn center-mag=-1.065e-005/-0.971179/0.04\ 167969 params=0.45/1.1/4/0 outside=atan colors=1Ac1Ab1Ad<6>AHnBIoCJqDKrE\ LtGMuHNwIOxKPz<10>FFjEEiDDgCCfBBe<10>55G\ 44D44D33A33A55B<8>SUYUX`X_c_bfbe\ i<2>los<13>SNCQL9PK8QK6<14>xn_<13>TN9RL7\ PJ7PK8<13>loqkoq<14>000200<2>01101102\ 1031<2>053063063073083<3>0B50B50C61\ D7<2>4GC4HD5IE6JF7KH<5>AQNBRPAQO<5>7LH6\ KG5JE4ID4HB<26>144133133122122111\ 111000<28>07X07Y08_09a } ay_Calm { ; kathy roth 1998 ; Damien Jones map reset=1960 type=barnsleyj1 passes=t center-mag=-0.000894123/-0.300626/0.349354/0.75 params=-0.49784779/0.89781485427 float=y maxiter=256 bailoutest=manh logmode=fly invert=1/0/0 periodicity=0 colors=0000FJ<57>0ly0mz0mz1mz<81>yyzzz\ zzyy<39>zy2zz0yy0<40>220000011<23>\ 0FJ } ay_Schizoid { ; kathy roth 1998 ; Lee Skinner map colors=KIfcAA`45`00<3>P00N11K34<6>0FL<4>OX\ DT`BXbA<6>xt0<9>`00c85<6>zym<8\ >yUE<3>yHK<8>ZDPWCPTBQQARN9RK8SG7T<2>C7KA\ 7H87D67A577374<6>BOG<5>ZOnbOtdR\ t<3>kbr<5>HEI000B9C656000<13>Xcq<13>45\ 6232000231<10>5Pv<6>zo_<5>5Pv<6>00\ 0CC8<13>wvj<2>rRe<7>IDfJFfKGfLJe<6>Q\ Uc<9>856632400<2>A00C00C00<12>O00<6>\ zuk<6>fGF } az6_ti_mod35 { ; "Basket Weave" Les St.Clair ; t=calc time [h:mm:ss.] using a PII-266 at 1600x1200 ; (c) 1997 by Les St Clair [Par date: Jul 28, 1997] ; e-mail to: les_stclair@compuserve.com reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=tent_mod.par formulaname=tent_in_mod function=abs/sin/cabs/cabs passes=1 center-mag=-0.4168692325208040\ 0/+0.60303984386551730/1223.647 params=0.09/0/0.005/0 float=y maxiter=1024 inside=zmag logmode=fly decomp=256 periodicity=0 colors=ZZZyoRxmNxkJwiF<4>qU6pR4oQ\ 4<12>ZC5YB5W96U87T77R58<12>zpN<3>jmVelW\ ___```aaaccc<29>000B0A<14>d9H<10>A0\ 0<8>Y0B`0Ca2D<25>zzm<4>yqVakYYj_Uia<1\ 5>CM3AK0BJ0<14>U30<15>zcc<18>GCC\ EAAC99A77856<2>000<26>XXX cyclerange=1/150 } frm:k1barn { z=pixel: z=(z-1)*p1 bailout <|p2|} frm:kbarn_Spir_Stalks_Jul {; adapted from Paul W.
