Subject: (fractint) Quickie 2 par and frm

R in RParracho stands for Rui (Viva Portugal).  It is I guess the equivelent
of Roy in America
because thats what everyone calls me.

I think I have my sstools.ini in order now.  this makes fractint so much
easier to use thank you.
musing (I wish I had access to Graphdev in compuserve... ahhh)
Since I'm on aol and it dominatess everything (can't even run netscape) Does
anyone know how I go about geting 
access to IRC chatting?

Background on formulas 1011 and 1012 are stepwise enhansments of 1110.
The iterate for 1012 is based on a curve called the Witch of Agnesi.

You are absolutely right! I certainly did not know it, though I use both the
<C> key and the <E> key. Thanks for pointing it out.

Subject: (fractint) Memorial Day formula and pars

comment {
This formula and pars are for new images that I just made for
Memorial Day.  In keeping with Memorial Day, I tried to create
images that were solemn, dignified and beautiful.  I'll let
you judge if I succeeded at all - anyhow, they are the best that
I could do.

This formula is the first few terms of a series expansion of
some log function - I forget just which one - it may be
log((w+1)^2).  Anyhow, feel free to play with it - it's not
reserved for Memorial Day.

Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism. Everything 19th-Century physics
knew about electricity, magnetism, and light (in short, everything except
gravity) is encoded in there. And probably a few fractals as well.

My favourite formulation though is still the good old

                 "Fiat Lux".

Oh. Like many Americans, I thought that Jihad just meant 'Holy War'.

You hit the "W" key. Once you do that you cannot change back to colors.
The only way yo get back to colors is to reload the color map you were

More likely he hit the F6 key which is more towards the right than the W-key
is.<s>  I've do that so many times I lose count.

Then, all he'd have to do is  return to the video mode he usually uses.

Nope, that's not it!  I swapped keyboards and mice (?!!) with Mike.  My

Nope, that didn't fix it either.  Thanks guys, but I still need help!

(Original message:  Yesterday my keyboard croaked, so we bought a new

Natural Keyboard - a little different from the last one, but it is a

my zoom box.  Ctrl pad + and Ctrl

stretch, but I can't rotate.  Also, I can't run Partobat.  When I key
"partobat" at the d:\fractint

too.  Even Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work,  I have to turn off the computer
and turn it back on again.)

Subject: (fractint) Triple Mutation formula

Here is another nice MandelMutation that I have just concocted in my
secret lab. Imagine three random points on the complex plane. Each point
is the source of a force field, just like an electron. But it's not an
electric or gravitational field, it's a function field. At each point is
sitting a function sending out its force onto the complex plane according
to the inverse square law. Now every single point on the plane "feels" a
superposition of these three forces. You may have a sine pulling with
strength 0.7, a square with 1.2 and a flip with 2.5. When we add this
FunctionForceFieldFrenzy to every pixel of a standard mandel computation,
we can have interesting results.

When the points (p1,p2,p3) are far away the influence of the force fields
is only marginal, so we just get the plain Mandelbrot. When the points
move closer the set is more and more mutated. For exploring this formula
it is best to start with a random combination of functions with the
parameters set to at least 2. Then gradually decrease the values and see
what happens. Strangely enough the screen stays black when a cotan or
cotanh is included.

I have included 4 basic pars, as always without any artistic value
whatsoever. The first one is just an unmutated mandel to make it easier
for you to fiddle around with the Ps. The next two show increasing
mutation, and the last one is an interesting zoom.

Live long and prosper

Oliver

Yup, I'm very familiar with this problem.  In my experience, this 
usually happens when I'm using Fractint to edit colors in images
generated with my own software (i.e. non-Fractint GIFs, type=plasma).
Since there's no Fractint type to check against, Fractint locks up.
I submitted this bug to the wish list (and this list) a while back, 
which may have prompted the L/search refinements Tim spoke of.
This happens *way* too frequently for my taste, as I occasionally 
try to load a new map before typing "E<CR>" (mea culpa).

Subject: (fractint) Duplicate formulas

Hi Rui,

  A few weeks ago, you posted the following formula:
rsp_1011{
z=3Dpixel,a=3D(pixel*(|p1|<=3D0)+p1),
c=3Da*(a*a-1)/(a*a*a*a-3*a*a+1):
z=3Dz*z+c/a, |z|<=3D64}

  But your latest par/frm posting contains the following one:
rsp_1011{       ;RSP 24MAY98
 bail=3D(64*(imag(p2)<=3D0)+imag(p2)),
 z=3D(pixel*(|p1|<=3D0)+(2.5*pixel)),
 a=3D(pixel*(|p1|<=3D0)+p1):
 b=3Dsqr(a),
 c=3D(b-1)/(b*(b-z)+1),
 z=3Dz*z+c,
 (real(z)*imag(z))<=3Dbail}

  To avoid confusion, I renamed the latter as rsp_1011m but maybe you wou=
ld
like to choose another name?

  Cheers,

I'm no expert in dos or 'puters but at this point { since its such a small

Have you called the manufacturer of your main box?
Have you got the propper drive for the new hrdware? Things may have gotten

I do this alllllllll the time!!!!! (by mistake of course...)....but it turns out
that by hitting F10 the color is restored (phew). 

Sorry for not chatting Again this morning....but I'm having some sort of isp or
other web troubles.  Glad to hear that some of you managed to get together. I'll
have all week to yell at my isp, so maybe we can try for next Saturday.
