And I have a proof but it is too big to write in the margin Passes=2 is absolutely guaranteed to be identical to to passes=1. Fractint goes in 1 pass mode, but writes every other line, but also writes the line below with the same line for appearances. On the second pass, the even lines are corrected. The only exceptions I can think of: 1. If you are using a formula that does not properly initialize variables (whether a buggy built-in formula or an ill-formed parser formula) then the color of a pixel would depend on the value the uninitialized variable had previously. In this case, 2-pass would be different because the pixels are do0ne in a different order. 2. If random numbers are used, calculating the pixels in a different order chganges the result. My carefully qualified statement becomes: for all fractal algorithms where the color of a pixel is independent of the previous pixel and independent of the order of pixels (eg - no random numbers) then 2 pass is identical to 1-pass. Maybe your counterexample used random numbers. That would do it!

Anyway, wizzle, read my article, it explains all :-) Well not all, but the formula are labeled Julia sets which they are. As many points as you wish are there. It is a Julia set. That means there is a Mandelbrot set in there somewhere which is a road map to this Julia set, showing us the very constants you are looking for. Take another look at Paul Derbyshire's Jan 2 lesson on Calculus. The Mandelbrot set for this equation needs the roots of a quartic, if my math is right. Hmmm... Maybe you will not want to follow that path. But there is a graphical solution to this, using Fractint. I'll explain it some time. After some experimenting (which I'm not through with) I have found some solutions for you. Try this function as a Mandelbrot map of this Julia set. frm:FGZ-M { ; Jay Hill c = pixel, z=-sqrt(-c): ; approximate critical point z = z * z + c; z = (3 * z * z) / (z + 3) + c, |z| <= 36 } frm:FGZ-J { ; Jay Hill ; p1 is the Julia set parameter z = pixel, c = p1: z = z * z + c; z = (3 * z * z) / (z + 3) + c, |z| <= 36 } Use the FGZ-M set, which is only approximate, to determine values for c to use in the Julia set. Then run FGZ-J to see the Julia set. Put the c in the p1 parameters. Pan around to see the patterns of interest. I have increased the bailout to check that we are not missing anything. Here are some sample values of c for branching patterns: branches real/imag of c 3 -0.19907435765/0.673367053 4 0.216404468/0.572864145 5 0.356414348/0.4020118415 3 -1.128637165/0.266836375 4 -0.97252777/0.275617093 6 -0.84400510/0.205528319 FGZ_M { ; (c) Jay Hill, 1998 ; Mandelbrot map uses formula FGZ-M ; colors by Kathy Roth reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=roth.par formulaname=fgz-m center-mag=-0.5/0./1.000001 maxiter=1500 fillcolor=0 decomp=2048 colors=000OI5<11>pgTriVulYxn_zpa<4>jdWgaVcZT`WSYUR<3>KJNHGMGFL<10>724602\ 702<16>M06N07O07P08Q08<10>`0Da0Db2D<14>zVF<10>hAEaI9<6>xTF<8>H3AC09908<6\ >KBDMDEMFF<2>MMI000<16>C81D92FB3<2>LG4OI5QK7<12>vlYxn_yo`zpawn_ukY<16>bV\ H000<22>000000223<5>HHNKKQNNTQQXTT_<6>ilploslpr<13>QK8 } FGZ_J { ; (c) Jay Hill ; uses formula FGZ-J ; colors by Kathy Roth reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=roth.par formulaname=fgz-j center-mag=0./0./0.5 params=0./0. maxiter=1500 fillcolor=0 decomp=2048 colors=000MKHMMI000<16>C81D92FB3<2>LG4OI5QK7<12>vlYxn_yo`zpawn_ukY<16>bV\ H000<22>000000223<5>HHNKKQNNTQQXTT_<6>ilploslpr<14>OI5<11>pgTriVulYxn_zp\ a<4>jdWgaVcZT`WSYUR<3>KJNHGMGFL<8>947836724602702802<15>M06N07O07P08Q08<\ 10>`0Da0Db2D<14>zVF<10>hAEaI9<6>xTF<8>H3AC09908<6>KBDMDEMFFMHG } Jay - ---------- > From: Wizzle > To: fractint@lists.xmission.com > Subject: Re: (fractint) Re: Tim's_Fract > Date: Monday, January 12, 1998 7:33 PM > > Kathy... > > How did you figure out what values to enter??

I'm new to this list, but have been making fractals with Winfract for some time. I thought it was time to get serious about Fractint, since it has useful features (palette editing and rotatable zoombox, to name two) that Winfract lacks. So, I've been putting the Good Ship Fractint through a shakedown cruise on my computer. Generally, it's been smooth sailing with only a few questions to ask: I have a second internal hard drive (D:). Can I access this drive from Fractint (which is on C:)? I'd like to give Fractint a large fractal to render in DOS while I do other tasks in Win95. Is this possible? In general, what settings do I need to maximize Fractint compliance with Windows? When going into color cycling mode, I've ocassionally noticed that 1 color in my image palette changes to grey. This appears to be one of the 2 crossed-out colors used for the palette frame in palette editing mode. Is there any easy way to prevent this from happening? So far, though, I've been having fun... especially with colormaps ... the key opens up a whole new world in this respect!!

Angela I didn't put those numbers in there, they came with the formulas as posted, and what you said is what I have been wondering about. Those numbers were so weird. On a lot of the formulas with changeable parameters, I will throw in a number and then a different one and sort of zero in on something that looks good, but I was wondering if some of the people doing this can actually envision some of the results. I mean, obviously no one will know exactly what - -1.684 will do but do they understand what changeing the constant versus adding another function will do? - - - ------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 03:35:50 -0800 From: kathy roth Subject: (fractint) Re: Tim's_fract Jay Hill wrote >Minor correction of the post, it was Tim that had words of wisdom... >Anyway, wizzle, read my article, it explains all :-) >Well not all, but the formula are labeled Julia sets which they are. >As many points as you wish are there.

Take another look at Paul Derbyshire's >Jan 2 lesson on Calculus. <> What article and where can I get it??? I never took calc.....so I don't think I'd understand Paul's Jan 2 lesson. I know it's a real challenge to explain a math problem and be limited by not being able to use math.......but hey....when I was in school math wasn't nearly as interesting as now that I'm doing fractals. Thanks for the explanation Jay.....I'll read it carefully. I wanted to modify Linda Allison's star formula 051597-002 {; Linda Allison May 15, 1997 z=0; c=log(sqr(sqr(pixel))*pixel)*0.2: z2=fn1(z)+c z=c*(1-z2*z2)/(1+z2*z2) |z|<=p1 } If I replace one of the sqr with tan, atan or sin (etc), I get a three sided image (Linda's is 5 sided) or 10 sided. I was wondering how to get to 4, 6, 7 or 8 sides. I tried adding a constant as Kathy suggested and got a more complex 3 or 10 sided image. But that was a fun excursion too. Who would have thunk math could ever be fun?

I'd send a par as thanks, but Linda's formula is so good it's a snap to make really good images...and they generate fast.....so I'll leave everyone to have their own fun. A word.....you have to set the decomp in the x options to 256 or you don't get good images. Which raises yet another question.....if one needs to do this....reset the decomp for a value other than 0....is there a way to do that in the formula itself? I got the formula from Linda then had to send out an agonized cry for help because I didn't know to reset that option.....can hapless users such as myself be protected?? I spent about an hour before I convinced myself there was some data I didn't have....very frustrating......fortunately I knew Linda and Janet and got saved. Someone stumbling across this really good formula in an archive is not likely to be so lucky....
