Classic FOTD -- March 02, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Having been busy all day today, I found almost no time for
fractal fun.  But thanks to the MandelbrotMix4 formula, the tiny
bit of time I did find was enough to create today's fractal.

The name "Tiny Fractal Town", which I gave to today's image, has
nothing at all to do with the appearance of the picture.  I
thought of the phrase while repairing a crack in the wall of the
soon-to-be all-new Fractal Central.  The rating of 7 is an
honest statement of my opinion of the image.

The formula that drew the image mixes portions of Z^(-0.75) and
Z^(1.25) before adding 1/C.  The image takes 8-1/2 minutes to
render from the parameter file, a long enough time to make a
trip to:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or to:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

well worth the effort.

The fractal weather today was mostly sunny and seasonal, with a
temperature of 45F (7C), which lured the fractal cats onto the
porch.  Thomas ventured into the yard long enough to eat his
fill of grass, which he barely managed to keep down until he
came back indoors.  I forgave him for the little mess he made on
the kitchen floor.

That's it for today.  I'm totally fatigued once again, and ready
to doze off trying to watch some junky movie.  I'll return in 24
hours, hopefully refreshed, and with a new fractal.  Until then,
take care, and when is the last time you saw a fractal going
through a red light?

Jim,

Very nice image.  Looks even better with one of the maps I have for Paul Carlson type images.  I
find I particularly the diffusion drawing method for the FOTDs.  it is neat seeing the image emerge,
heightens surprise.

Mike:

The diffusion, along with the boundary tracing methods are also my
favorites.  The drawback is that they are often the slowest methods.

Next FOTD in 4-1/2 hours.

Since writing the above comment, I have run the parameter file that Mike
attached to his original letter.  The diffusion method actually took only
2 seconds longer to draw the image than the passes=1 method.  And I
must rate Mike's color palette an 8, as compared to my original hasty
palette, which I rated a 7.  The boundary tracing method does not work on
the "Tinytown" image.  It misses too many disconnected features.

FOTD in 2 hours.

Jim M.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  03-03-01  (Mandeloid Shellout [5])
Date: 02 Mar 2001 23:15:46 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 03, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today was once again hectic, as every day will be here at
Fractal Central for several more weeks.  But despite the rush, I
still found time to create a fractal worth a rating of 5.

I named the image "Mandeloid Shellout" when I was reminded of a
group of conch shells lying on some forgotten beach.  The
formula Z^(0.01)+10Z^2+(1/C) created the parent fractal of
today's scene.

The picture actually should not be referred to as a 'classic'
FOTD, since the outside colors were created by the 'tdis'
coloring method instead of the normal flat equal-iteration bands.

The attached parameter file renders in 12-1/2 minutes on a
Pentium 200mhz.  This is slow enough to make a trip to one of
the following web sites worth the effort.  Those web sites are
Paul's at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and Scott's at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was partly cloudy, with an ideal
temperature of 54F (12C).  The temperature was ideal, but
unfortunately, I spent almost the entire afternoon at the
hardware superstore purchasing supplies for the new Fractal
Central.  As a result, the cats did not get to go out, and I was
met by a pair of sulky cats when I returned around nightfall.

And now, the day is at an end; the fractal shoppe is ready to be
shut down; the cats have been well fed, and I'm finished for the
day.  There's nothing left to do but put on a junky old sci-fi
or horror movie, and doze off while trying to watch it.  Until
next time, take care, and life is better with fractals.

Methinks you underestimated it. Try '7'.

Date: 04 Mar 2001 08:44:18 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 04, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's subtly tinted and late image speaks for itself, which is
good, because I have no time to speak for it.  I could have
named it many things, but the name I decided on is "A Fungus
Amungus", which is a phrase I heard in my high-school days,
which were all too many years ago.

The math expression -Z^(-12.5)-12Z^(-1.25)+(1/C) produced the
image, the formula MandelbrotMix4 calculated the 6,000
iterations, and the 'fmod' outside option with a proximity value
of 1, supplied the egg-like bubbles.

I rated the image a 7 because of the unusually pronounced three-
dimensional effect.  The image takes 45 minutes to render on a
200mhz Pentium.  For relief, the GIF file of the image will be
posted as soon as possible to the following web sites:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather was partly cloudy and a pleasant 55F (13C).
But I was too busy to look after the fractal cats, who scolded
me thoroughly when I returned.  The media is covering a monster
snowstorm, which is due to arrive tomorrow night.  Knowing from
experience how these things go, I can confidently predict that
any snow will be insignificant.

It's now time to shut down here and begin a day of hectic
activity at the new Fractal Central.  Until 16 hours from now,
take care, and see you later.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  05-03-01  (On the Diagonal [4])
Date: 05 Mar 2001 00:55:16 EST


FOTD -- March 05, 2001 (Rating 4)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The day was another very busy one here at Fractal Central, as
all days will be until I get settled into the new Fractal
Central around the end of this month.  But it was not too busy
for me to find a fractal.

To produce the parent fractal of today's image, I subtracted
some Z^(-2.5) from some Z^(-2), added 1/C, and iterated 600
times.  The outside was colored by the tdis method, which I find
myself using more and more often when the classic method comes
up blank.

I named the picture "On the Diagonal" because that is where the
midget is located.  Considering the lack of effort I put into
the picture, I could rate it only a 4, which is a bit below
average.

The parameter file renders in one very fast minute.  And as
always, the GIF file of the image is available on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was cloudy, cold and rainy, with a
temperature of 36F (2C) that confined the fractal cats to their
window shelf.  As I suspected yesterday, the forecasted monster
snowstorm did not happen today, and the TV weather experts are
once again doing damage control.

That's it for today.  But be patient, the rush will eventually
end, and the FOTD discussion will return to its former glory.
Until next time, take care, and be a happy fractalist.

Classic FOTD -- March 06, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Due to too much work, it's another short discussion.

The fractal formula: 0.99(1/Z)-0.99Z+(1/C), when calculated with
a bailout radius of 110, draws a Mandeloid distorted almost to
the point of being unrecognizable.  But hidden in this figure
lie many pleasing scenes.  Today's image is but one of these
scenes.  I named the picture "Ring of Acorns" when I saw in the
tree outside the window, a squirrel with his nut.  I rated the
picture a somewhat conservative 6.

The parameter file takes over 9 minutes to render on a Pentium
200mhz.  The best way to tell if the wait is worth the result is
to download the file of the GIF image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

giving Paul and Scott a chance to post the image.

The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with 1 cm of snow
in the morning, accompanied by media weather people being made
fun of as they tried to explain why we did not get the 75cm that
some had foolishly predicted.  This little bit of snow, and the
temperature of 35F (1.5C), kept the cats indoors.

The work on the new Fractal Central continues unabated.  Late
this week we'll begin moving in our equipment.  But for now it's
time to call it a day.  Until tomorrow, take care, and does the
world of fractals have a god who can change the rules?

Classic FOTD -- March 07, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It's been another very busy day here at the old Fractal Central.
With so much stuff to be packed, it's a wonder that I found the
time to wander through the world of fractals.  But find the time
I did, and today's image is where I stopped.

The fractal formula: 1.3Z^(-1.5)-0.65Z^(1.5)+(1/C) drew the
image.  I named the picture "All Wrung Out" when I noticed that
the twisted elements resemble a large sheet being wrung dry.
When all was finisher, I studied everything and rated the image
a 5.

The parameter file renders in a speedy 1-1/2 minutes.  Once the
GIF image has been posted, the download will be equally as fast.
The image will be available shortly on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was very cold,
very cloudy, very windy, with a few flurries of snow thrown in
to keep things interesting.  The cats naturally stayed inside
all day.

That's it for today, fractal fans.  But I'll return tomorrow
with another fractal and an abbreviated discussion.  Until then,
take care, and when one calculates a fractal, the future can be
known.

Few! For a moment there, I thought it might be that *you* where feeling "All

Actually, your instincts were right.  The hectic activity is partly
responsible for the name, which I intended to have a double meaning.
I'm pretty much physically worn out, due to the work involved in
moving.  My compulsion to search for fractals however continues
unabated, as it has for over 13 years.  My frustration is that I
have so little time to write the FOTD, but that will end early next
month when I get settled into the new Fractal Central.

FOTD in 16 hours.

Date: 08 Mar 2001 00:36:18 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 08, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It was another busy day at the new Fractal Central.  I spent
most of the day hanging shades, a job that is sure to bring out
the worst in one.  But after many choice words, the job was
accomplished, and my attention turned to the world of fractals.

Today's image reminds me of a group of orchids growing in some
forgotten tropical rain forest.  I named it "Fractal Orchids"
and rated it a 6.

Today's fractal is the latest in my series of 'evaporated'
midgets, which I create by taking a fractal whose formula
contains a negative power of Z and raising the bailout to a
ridiculous value.  The extreme bailout causes the outside parts
of the image to disappear, leaving a blank screen totally
composed of 'inside' stuff.  But the ghost of the original image
still exists in the blank scene, and can be revealed with
various non-flat inside fills.  Today's image for example uses a
fill of bof61.

The formula behind today's image takes a tiny bit of Z^(-13) and
adds 20 times as much Z^(-0.8) before adding 1/C.  The resulting
fractal was enhanced in a separate graphic program, but the
enhancement is accurately recorded in the parameter file.

The image takes a bit over 4 minutes to render on a tired
Pentium 200mhz machine.  It takes about the same time to log
onto the internet and download the GIF file of the image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was much improved, as bright sun and
mild breezes combined to produce a temperature of 48F (9C).  The
fractal cats spent a half hour outdoors enjoying the pleasant
conditions, but would have preferred a far longer stay in the
sun.

Until tomorrow, take care of your fractals.

When I saw the 640x480 image I thought you were kidding about the 7.
However when I generated it at 1600x1200 I thought you were being
stingy.  For some images, size does matter and this is one.  Even
though, seen as 3D, the 'lighting' is coming from all around, not from
a single source (and without multiple shadows) the relief effect isn't
diminished, but made weirder - like the thing is some alien Stonehenge.

BTW, I still don't think that you should make the concession of calling
it the "Classic" FOTD.

Mike

For once, I can see the resemblance. A very pleasing and unusual image. Keep

Date: 09 Mar 2001 07:45:36 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 09, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Though I'll continue reading the mailing lists, this will be the
last FOTD until March 15 -- the Ides of March.  Until then, I'll
be moving the heavy equipment into the new Fractal Central and
trying to get things up and running once again.  Once things are
back in full operation, probably early next month, I'll also
resume posting the FOTD images to ABPF.

Today's quickie image is another that rates an average 5.  I
named it "Midget Abstraction" because I could think of nothing
better, though it now reminds me of a small basin in a layer of
small seashells.

The formula 1.4Z^(-3.333)+14Z^(-0.3333)+(1/C) created the parent
fractal, which is an inside-out thing shaped vaguely like a
horse shoe, or a stunted tree on a wind swept hill.  Rendered in
the normal manner, the image is filled with holes.  To add
interest, I have set the inside to bof60 and the outside to tdis.

The parameter file of today's image renders in 4-3/4 minutes on
a Pentium 200mhz machine.  How fast it will render on a
PentiumIV 1500mhz machine is anybody's guess, since I have no
such machine.  To make life easier, Paul and Scott will post the
GIF image to their web sites as soon as possible.  Unfortu-
nately, writing on a different machine, I do not have the URL's
at hand, but they are included in every previous FOTD.

The fractal weather today was bland and pleasant, with lots of
sun and a temperature of 50F (10C).  The fractal cats would have
enjoyed a long romp outdoors, but with me so busy, they got
none.  All they got was angry.

That's it for six days.  I'll return in 135 hours or so with the
next FOTD.  Until then, take care, and live and breathe fractals.

Curiously, the size makes little difference with some images, but all the
difference in the world with others.  The "Fungus Amungus" image suffers
as much as any image I have seen if rendered at low resolution.  I search
for my FOTD's in 640x480x256 mode.  The posted render time is at SF5,
but I archive the images at higher resolutions.

I also really (REALLY) liked that image and saved it (and the formula) for
later rendering and exploring.  Someone here rendered a few FOTDs using
UltraFractal which supports high color modes and anti-aliasing.  I'd like
to do that with FUNGUS AMUNGUS, but I just got UF and don't (yet) have
clue one on how to go about it.

If someone would care to tender a quick tutorial, I'll do the rendering
and make the image(s) available....

Hi there

Unfortunately, the fmod coloring option is not implemented in UltraFractal (the
same applies to the outside = tdis option, which Jim has been using frequently
in the last few weeks). At least that's my current knowledge. The normal
procedure - highlighting the text of the par file, copying with Ctrl C and
pasting into an active UF fractal window (Ctrl V) - will just produce a violett
rectangle here.

But, being a programmer, you could implement these features, if you know the
source code for the algorithms or know how they work. Writing formulas,
coloring options etc. is relatively simple in UF ...

I'm the person who was rendering at high resolutions and such :) I was
actually thinking of trying to dig out how that coloring option works and
using it - however, due to a lack of time and hard drive space, I haven't
been able to do anything recently. As soon as I've got some free time at
all, I already rendered Sylvie Gallet's versions of "The Fractal Swarm" -
I'll put them up as soon as I can. The rest will have to wait a while,
though I hope to get them up eventually . . . maybe I'll have time this
weekend. The homework load seems a bit light this weekend, so I might have
time to work on the HTML and try to get that coloring option implemented :)

Hi,

As soon as FMod came out in Fractint, I made a FMOD colouring formula for
Ultra-Fractal.
I cannot be sure that it produces *exactly* the same results as Fractint,
but it looks right. ;-)

It is:

FMod(BOTH) {
;by Rupert Millard
;compatibility with fractint
;color = magnitude * colors / closeprox
init:
  complex lastorbit=0
loop:
  if cabs(#z-#pixel)<=@proximity
     lastorbit=#z
  endif
final:
  #index=cabs(lastorbit)/@proximity
default:
  title = "FMod"
  param proximity
    default=0.01
  endparam
}

Save the formula in a .UCL file in your UF formulas library directory.

From,

Rupert

P.S. Please don't kill me for a slightly off-topic reply!

For once, I can see the resemblance. A very pleasing and unusual image. Keep
it up, Jim!

Date: 06 Mar 2001 22:52:03 -0500 (EST)


Classic FOTD -- March 07, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It's been another very busy day here at the old Fractal Central.
With so much stuff to be packed, it's a wonder that I found the
time to wander through the world of fractals.  But find the time
I did, and today's image is where I stopped.

The fractal formula: 1.3Z^(-1.5)-0.65Z^(1.5)+(1/C) drew the
image.  I named the picture "All Wrung Out" when I noticed that
the twisted elements resemble a large sheet being wrung dry.
When all was finisher, I studied everything and rated the image
a 5.

The parameter file renders in a speedy 1-1/2 minutes.  Once the
GIF image has been posted, the download will be equally as fast.
The image will be available shortly on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was very cold,
very cloudy, very windy, with a few flurries of snow thrown in
to keep things interesting.  The cats naturally stayed inside
all day.

That's it for today, fractal fans.  But I'll return tomorrow
with another fractal and an abbreviated discussion.  Until then,
take care, and when one calculates a fractal, the future can be
known.

Hi there

Unfortunately, the fmod coloring option is not implemented in UltraFractal (the
same applies to the outside = tdis option, which Jim has been using frequently
in the last few weeks). At least that's my current knowledge. The normal
procedure - highlighting the text of the par file, copying with Ctrl C and
pasting into an active UF fractal window (Ctrl V) - will just produce a violett
rectangle here.

But, being a programmer, you could implement these features, if you know the
source code for the algorithms or know how they work. Writing formulas,
coloring options etc. is relatively simple in UF ...

Actually, your instincts were right.  The hectic activity is partly
responsible for the name, which I intended to have a double meaning.
I'm pretty much physically worn out, due to the work involved in
moving.  My compulsion to search for fractals however continues
unabated, as it has for over 13 years.  My frustration is that I
have so little time to write the FOTD, but that will end early next
month when I get settled into the new Fractal Central.

FOTD in 16 hours.

Classic FOTD -- March 06, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Due to too much work, it's another short discussion.

The fractal formula: 0.99(1/Z)-0.99Z+(1/C), when calculated with
a bailout radius of 110, draws a Mandeloid distorted almost to
the point of being unrecognizable.  But hidden in this figure
lie many pleasing scenes.  Today's image is but one of these
scenes.  I named the picture "Ring of Acorns" when I saw in the
tree outside the window, a squirrel with his nut.  I rated the
picture a somewhat conservative 6.

The parameter file takes over 9 minutes to render on a Pentium
200mhz.  The best way to tell if the wait is worth the result is
to download the file of the GIF image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

giving Paul and Scott a chance to post the image.

The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with 1 cm of snow
in the morning, accompanied by media weather people being made
fun of as they tried to explain why we did not get the 75cm that
some had foolishly predicted.  This little bit of snow, and the
temperature of 35F (1.5C), kept the cats indoors.

The work on the new Fractal Central continues unabated.  Late
this week we'll begin moving in our equipment.  But for now it's
time to call it a day.  Until tomorrow, take care, and does the
world of fractals have a god who can change the rules?

I'm the person who was rendering at high resolutions and such :) I was
actually thinking of trying to dig out how that coloring option works and
using it - however, due to a lack of time and hard drive space, I haven't
been able to do anything recently. As soon as I've got some free time at
all, I already rendered Sylvie Gallet's versions of "The Fractal Swarm" -
I'll put them up as soon as I can. The rest will have to wait a while,
though I hope to get them up eventually . . . maybe I'll have time this
weekend. The homework load seems a bit light this weekend, so I might have
time to work on the HTML and try to get that coloring option implemented :)

Curiously, the size makes little difference with some images, but all the
difference in the world with others.  The "Fungus Amungus" image suffers
as much as any image I have seen if rendered at low resolution.  I search
for my FOTD's in 640x480x256 mode.  The posted render time is at SF5,
but I archive the images at higher resolutions.

Few! For a moment there, I thought it might be that *you* where feeling "All

Classic FOTD -- March 09, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Though I'll continue reading the mailing lists, this will be the
last FOTD until March 15 -- the Ides of March.  Until then, I'll
be moving the heavy equipment into the new Fractal Central and
trying to get things up and running once again.  Once things are
back in full operation, probably early next month, I'll also
resume posting the FOTD images to ABPF.

Today's quickie image is another that rates an average 5.  I
named it "Midget Abstraction" because I could think of nothing
better, though it now reminds me of a small basin in a layer of
small seashells.

The formula 1.4Z^(-3.333)+14Z^(-0.3333)+(1/C) created the parent
fractal, which is an inside-out thing shaped vaguely like a
horse shoe, or a stunted tree on a wind swept hill.  Rendered in
the normal manner, the image is filled with holes.  To add
interest, I have set the inside to bof60 and the outside to tdis.

The parameter file of today's image renders in 4-3/4 minutes on
a Pentium 200mhz machine.  How fast it will render on a
PentiumIV 1500mhz machine is anybody's guess, since I have no
such machine.  To make life easier, Paul and Scott will post the
GIF image to their web sites as soon as possible.  Unfortu-
nately, writing on a different machine, I do not have the URL's
at hand, but they are included in every previous FOTD.

The fractal weather today was bland and pleasant, with lots of
sun and a temperature of 50F (10C).  The fractal cats would have
enjoyed a long romp outdoors, but with me so busy, they got
none.  All they got was angry.

That's it for six days.  I'll return in 135 hours or so with the
next FOTD.  Until then, take care, and live and breathe fractals.

Classic FOTD -- March 08, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It was another busy day at the new Fractal Central.  I spent
most of the day hanging shades, a job that is sure to bring out
the worst in one.  But after many choice words, the job was
accomplished, and my attention turned to the world of fractals.

Today's image reminds me of a group of orchids growing in some
forgotten tropical rain forest.  I named it "Fractal Orchids"
and rated it a 6.

Today's fractal is the latest in my series of 'evaporated'
midgets, which I create by taking a fractal whose formula
contains a negative power of Z and raising the bailout to a
ridiculous value.  The extreme bailout causes the outside parts
of the image to disappear, leaving a blank screen totally
composed of 'inside' stuff.  But the ghost of the original image
still exists in the blank scene, and can be revealed with
various non-flat inside fills.  Today's image for example uses a
fill of bof61.

The formula behind today's image takes a tiny bit of Z^(-13) and
adds 20 times as much Z^(-0.8) before adding 1/C.  The resulting
fractal was enhanced in a separate graphic program, but the
enhancement is accurately recorded in the parameter file.

The image takes a bit over 4 minutes to render on a tired
Pentium 200mhz machine.  It takes about the same time to log
onto the internet and download the GIF file of the image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

The fractal weather today was much improved, as bright sun and
mild breezes combined to produce a temperature of 48F (9C).  The
fractal cats spent a half hour outdoors enjoying the pleasant
conditions, but would have preferred a far longer stay in the
sun.

Until tomorrow, take care of your fractals.

When I saw the 640x480 image I thought you were kidding about the 7.
However when I generated it at 1600x1200 I thought you were being
stingy.  For some images, size does matter and this is one.  Even
though, seen as 3D, the 'lighting' is coming from all around, not from
a single source (and without multiple shadows) the relief effect isn't
diminished, but made weirder - like the thing is some alien Stonehenge.

BTW, I still don't think that you should make the concession of calling
it the "Classic" FOTD.

Mike

Open the Makefile in an editor, find this line:

LIBS =3D -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm -lncurses -ltermcap

and remove the "-ltermcap" at the end and try again.
I I had that same problem back in 1999 when I first compiled Xfractin=
t,=20
and that's what I was told to do.

Yes, I received about 5 duplicates on Monday.  The solution was
simple -- I deleted them.  I have no idea from where or why they
are appearing.

Not in my experience.  UF is greatly lacking as a Win98

Ditto.  I think it's a wonderful program; well worth registering.
After being a loyal FractInt user for years, I'm afraid UF is really
turning my head:

-works *natively* in Windows (i.e. it's a real Windows program)
-full color
-anti-aliasing

Those *alone* make it wonderful!

Subject: (fractint) A parallel version of fractint
Date: 14 Mar 2001 01:17:07 -0800

Hi.

IBM just gave the University of Washington EE department 10 RS/6000 Model 44-270s, each of which has
4 CPUs and 4 GBytes of RAM.  I am in the process of porting xfractint to AIX 4.3.3 using  VisualAge
C++ Professional / C for AIX Compiler, Version 5.  I have spent perhaps 30 minutes on the project so
far, which of course isn't enough.

Before I get too involved in this little project, I have some questions:

1) Does anybody know the peculiar combination of switches required to get the code to compile with
this combination of compiler and operating system?  I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but if
somebody has this information at their fingertips, I'd love to know.  It runs fine on Linux.

2) Why is MSDOS defined as 1 in port.h?  Should that not be in a conditional somewhere?

3) With all of the CPUs I have at my disposal, I'd like to build a parallel version of the
xfractint.  Has anybody ever done anything like this?  The Mandlebrot set ought to be easy to
parallelize, because there is no dependencies between any point and any other point.


Many thanks,


Jeff

Have you tried looking through the Fractal Census:

Some of the individuals that responded to your various L-System postings

I was a little too fast with replying the error message. '-ltermcap' was
mentioned twice in the Makefile. <sorry>

Now, I wonder wether it will be possible to do colour cycling....
<c> and + - don't do anything (or do I need the '-ltermcap' for this?)

Classic FOTD -- March 15, 2001 (Rating 4)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It's late and I'm still very busy setting up the new Fractal
Central.  But despite the rush, I have found a fractal, which I
now present as the hurried FOTD for March 15.

There is no time for a discussion.  One is not necessary, for
the fractal speaks for itself.  (A talking fractal!)

The fractal weather has been uneventful.  The fractal cats are
restless but in fine shape.  I don't have the URL's of Paul's
and Scott's web sites handy.  The full-length FOTD discussion
will return in a few days.

Termcap (along with terminfo) is the mechanism by which UNIX systems
support hundreds of varieties of ASCII terminals without the need for
special drivers for each terminal.  But not a Linux user, I'm not sure
that these apply for that operating system.

I do know that there had been a problem a year ago with some of the keys
not working correctly.  I believe it had something to do with the
defines created in fractint.h (FK_F1 etc.).

I can do something with the colours now, but no colour *cycling*.
Unfortunately too, instead of cycling the whole fractal is being
recalculated, which needs some time.
(I hope, that this sycling will be fixed somedays?)

Why isn't it possible to use more than 256 colours? Has that something to do
with the use of GIFs?

Thanks.
10 years ago we used fractint on the old DOS systems. It was the best,
coolest and cheapest programme we had in those days.

Probably.  GIF color palettes can be 2-color (1-bit), 16-color (4-bits)
or 256-color (8-bits).  GIF is a pretty old image format, and seems to
be on its way into the history books.

Classic FOTD -- March 16, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The reconstruction of Fractal Central at its new location is
progressing rapidly, but still has a way to go before things are
back to normal.  Until the FOTD routine is re-established, the
FOTD discussions will be brief.

The features surrounding the midget in today's image remind me
of an opening flower.  The name "Mandelbrot Flower" seemed
perfectly natural.  The formula ((-Z)^2)+(0.1(1/Z))+C drew the
parent fractal, which resembles a reversed and very twisted
M-set, partly filled in with the debris of 1/Z.

After a brief period of indecision, I rated the image at an
average 5.  Since the 20 minute render time is a bit slow, I
recommend downloading the complete GIF image from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was cloudy with rain in the evening
and a temperature of 46F (8C), which was too cold for the
delicate duo of fractal cats, who spent the day in their
favorite chairs, dreaming of outdoors.

And that's it for today's brief encounter with the wonder of
fractals.  Until tomorrow at this same time, take care, and I
really believe that fractals are real.

Classic FOTD -- March 17, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It's Saint Patrick's day and all is in confusion.  I'm at the
stage where the new Fractal Central is operating, but I have no
idea where anything is.  nevertheless, I found an average
fractal, which appears almost by magic if the parameter file is
run.

I named the image "Mandelbrot Glory"< and rated it a 5.

Searching for things such as certain computer disks in dozens of
packed cartons leaves little time for discussing fractals, so
I'll end my short discussion here.

The GIF image will soon be available at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was cloudy with rain in the afternoon
and a temperature of 48F (9C).  Having been marooned indoors for
two consecutive days, the fractal cats were testy most of the
day.

I'll return as scheduled in 20 hours with another brief FOTD.
Until then, take care, and watch the time fly.

Jeff,

The only question I can come close to answering is the second.

> 2) Why is MSDOS defined as 1 in port.h?  Should that not be in a
conditional

I believe this is because the MSDOS compilers had a problem with this.  When
XFRACT is defined, MSDOS gets undefined, so it doesn't matter.  Legacy
baggage is the real answer.

Classic FOTD -- March 17, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I'm still getting the new fractal place organized, so today's
discussion will be a brief one.

Today's quick fractal takes advantage of the 'tdis' outside
coloring option of Fractint.  I named it "Mandelbrot Radiance"
because of the golden radiance that seems to be coming from the
midget.

The 'tdis' option often produces an effect of terraces such as
the effect seen in today's image.  I rated the picture a 6,
which is a little above average.

With a draw time of 2-1/2 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz machine,
running the parameter file is about as efficient a way of
viewing the image as going to:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

and downloading the GIF file from there.

The fractal weather today was cloudy and chilly, with a
temperature of 48F (9C) and a shower in the afternoon, which
combined to keep the cats housebound.

That's it for today.  Until next time, take care, and relax.

1. as soon as you read your email, do something like:
use "file"; "save as", "file" and save it as ".par" or ".frm" ,
depending if whatever it is
2. save it in the Winfract or the Fractint directory.
3. have fun

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  19-03-01  (Outreach [6])
Date: 19 Mar 2001 01:16:20 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 19, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

It was another busy day here at the new Fractal Central, but
progress is being made, and by the end of the month I expect
things to be back to normal, with longer fractal descriptions
and the return of fractal philosophy.

But until then, the FOTD will continue in abbreviated form.
Today's image pictures a midget surrounded by broad spiral bands
filled with a texture that, when viewed from a distance, gives
the impression of a true color fractal.

The texture in the image is created by the many tiny patches
caused by the negative exponents.  I named the image "Outreach"
for no particular reason, and rated it a 6 for the same reason.

With a render time of 45 minutes, the parameter file is slow.  A
better way of viewing the image is to give Paul and Scott a
chance to post the GIF file of the image to their web sites at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

and download it from there.

The fractal weather today was sunny but blustery and chilly,
with a temperature of 50F (10C), which the fractal cats accepted
as they passed the afternoon in the yard.

I see that the time has come to shut down the shoppe and call it
a night.  Until tomorrow, take care.

Hi,

I made a little Ultra-Fractal gradient / Fractint MAP file utility in Visual
Basic this weekend.

It depends on the type of person you are, but I think it's useful because I
hate choosing colours but am fed up with using blues.map, nice as it is.

Visit: http://www.geocities.com/poly_grad_maker/ to find out more and
download it if you like.

I hope you like it,

From,

Rupert

Very nice colouring, Jim. Keep it up! (esp. because it's my birthday later
this month!)

In a message dated 01-03-19 01:42:23 EST, you write:

<< Hi all,I would like to know how to cut and paste the formulaes into
Winfractal. >>

Hi! You need to have them end up as text files with the   .frm  or .par
extensions.
 For the formula, drag and select the formula part and drop it into a
straight text editor, such and notepad.  Save the file with some name that
helps you keep track ot them, like mar2001.frm.  Your next added formula will
be pasted into this file as you build a collection.  Add this new  .frm to
the location in which the Winfract has its other .frm files.

The same process for the  parameter file,  with the exception of choosing a
collection name for the pars contained in it and the need to save the text
file with a .par extension. Add your new   .par to the location wherein lie
your Winfract-supplied  .par files.

Note that Winfract is not capable of some of the things that Fractint DOS
version is.  There is a lot of helpful material about getting started in the
DOS version at various sites on the web and the list can help you.  You also
might wish to post requests on the Fractal-art list as well as it is more
active currently than the Fractint list.

I hope this helps you to get up and running...this stuff is amazing  :)

Good luck!

Hi,

I made a little Ultra-Fractal gradient / Fractint MAP file utility in Vis=
ual
Basic this weekend.

It depends on the type of person you are, but I think it's useful because=
 I
hate choosing colours but am fed up with using blues.map, nice as it is.

Visit: http://www.geocities.com/poly_grad_maker/ to find out more and
download it if you like.

I hope you like it,

Rupert

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  20-03-01  (Double Fractal Eight [7])
Date: 19 Mar 2001 22:57:38 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 20, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's quickie fractal took 5 minutes to find and just about as
long to render at the SF5 resolution.  The image illustrates a
midget that exists in a cut-off branch of the fractal created by
subtracting some Z^(-sqrt(2)) from some Z^2 and adding 1/C.

To add a bit of zip to the scene I rendered the formula with the
'tdis' outside coloring option in effect.  The resulting
terraces are quite effective!  But it's a mystery why I named
the picture "Double Fractal Eight".

The image may be seen by copying this e-mail to your Fractint
directory as an ascii text file with a .par extension and
running the file in the normal manner.  Or you can wait an hour
or so until Paul and Scott have had a chance to render the image
and post it to their web sites at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was ideal for housebound cats.  The
sunny skies, light winds and temperature of 54F (12C) brought
out the best in the dynamic duo, who spent several hours
outdoors on their best behavior while I was away trying to bring
some order to the new fractal central.

And now I'm going to bring some order to my evening by settling
down to watch a junky sci-fi movie or better yet, an even
junkier Benny Hill tape.  Until tomorrow around this same time,
take care, and keep your mind out of the gutter.

If it would help, I'd be happy to post fractint-related files at

Classic FOTD -- March 21, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's FOTD is late, but it is here.

With the hectic rush continuing, I once again found little time
for fractal exploration.  But I did find one neat little midget
in the fractal created by adding a little 1/Z and 1/C to Z^2.

I named the image "A Study in Lilac".  The name was inspired by
the lovely lilac features surrounded by a less-than-lovely
olive-green background.

The 5-1/2 minutes draw time of the parameter file is just slow
enough to make a download of the GIF file the better choice.
The download may be found on the Web at:

The fractal weather today was hazy and mild, with a temperature
of 55F (13C) that was warm enough to lure the fractal cats into
the yard, where they passed the afternoon watching and
chattering at the birds.

And we've once again come to the end of the shortened FOTD.  But
I'll be here once again in 16 hours or so to do it again.  Until
then, take care, and look for great things to come.

Subject: (fractint) L-FOTD  22-03-01  Tongues of Fire [6])
Date: 22 Mar 2001 08:23:46 EST


Late FOTD -- March 22, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Another rushed day, this one complicated by heavy rain, and as a
result the FOTD is once again late.  But as I have been saying
almost every day recently, better late than never.

As a glance at the 'Z' screen shows, the formula behind today's
image was found by turning off my brain and letting my fingers
roam the keyboard numbers at random.

I named the resulting picture "Tongues of Fire" not from
religious devotion, but because while studying the image, trying
to think of a name, I had a brief impression of eight flames
surrounding the midget.  I tweaked the colors a bit since then,
so the effect is now much less prominent.

The parameter file runs in under eight minutes on a Pentium200
machine, and considerably faster on a state-of-the-art machine.
Of course this is slow enough to make a download of the GIF
image file from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or from:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

worth the effort.

The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with heavy rain
and high winds all day.  Not only were the fractal cats quite
testy, but the fractal basement took on 3 cm (that's 1-1/5
inches) of water during the afternoon.  The outdoors received
over 8 cm (3 inches) of rain during the day, while the
temperature hovered around 40F (4.5C).

Well, it's now 8:15am and time to start another hectic day.  The
next FOTD will appear in 15 hours.  Until next time, take care,
and be patient.  The good old FOTD, with controversial
philosophy, will return next month.

Date: 23 Mar 2001 08:29:44 EST


Late FOTD -- March 23, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

All right, I realize that the FOTD failed to appear when
promised.  I won't promise it at a particular time again until
the current confusion has ended.

Today's super-quick fractal once again takes advantage of the
'tdis' outside coloring option, producing one of the busiest
effects I have yet posted.

I named the picture "The Busiest Midget" because this is the
first name that came to mind.  Though the parameter file is
fast, the GIF file can be found at the following two sites:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather was cold and blustery, with a temperature of
46F (8C).  These conditions confined the fractal cats once again
to the indoors, where they sulked for my benefit.

I'll return in an indefinite number of hours with the next in
the unending series of FOTD's.  Until then, take care.

Hi,

Even with monastic devotion I do not believe that he could have calculated
that image. Therefore I think that it must be a hoax.

How would he have known that iterating that formula would produce something
worth doing. If he did it at all, I think that he must have had help -
perhaps he had pointers from superior beings.

Rupert

Hoax. Featured on both slashdot and kuro5hin. Apart from the date of the
article, notice the name of the monk's helper.
Very beautifully done though.

Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD  24-03-01  (Time for Closure [6])
Date: 24 Mar 2001 09:34:38 EST


Classic FOTD -- March 24, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fractal image resembles a twisting spider's web closing
on its victim, which is the midget at the center.  This inspired
the rather unlikely name "Time for Closure".

Unfortunately, with some of the equipment not yet operational,
I have almost no time for a discussion, so I'll end it here and
let the image speak for itself.  (Please let me know what it
says when it starts speaking.) :-)

The parameter file renders in a couple minutes, and the GIF
image file will soon be available on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

At 56F (13C), the fractal weather today was a bit milder and a
bit less windy, but still too blustery for the cats, who sat by
the window most of the day.

And as for myself -- I'm going to spend the day trying to get
the new Fractal Central up and running as efficiently as the old
one did.  The next FOTD will appear in an indefinite number of
hours.  Until then, take care.

Now you've gotten me searching through boxes where I packed a book
containing the facsimiles of the original Carmina Burana texts that were
in Latin and Old German. Just have to see if Udo's poem is there as
described. Hope I don't have to go through too many boxes to find that
book.

Interesting article from that prolific writer on fractals, Ray Girvan. I
recommend reading a lot of his articles scattered round and about the
WWW.

Cheers,

Bob

Sorry, Gary. I just found out that the article mentioned in your URL is
a hoax.

Here's what Netsurfer Digest says about it:

Udo Uh-oh

It's not often we're taken in by a hoax page and sometimes we even play
along, but honesty and emotional masochism compel us to admit we were
completely fooled by the Udo of Aachen page we reviewed last issue ("A
13th Century Monk 700 Years Ahead of His Time"). It's a hoax, a fact we
should have clued into by the date of the article: Apr. 1, 1999. More
obscure clues include the village of "Irrendorf" ("loony village" in
German) and a monastery named after Umberto Eco. One we did catch was
the Monk Thelonius, although we dismissed it as coincidence. Don't think
we didn't have our suspicions. We did do many Web searches trying to
either confirm or deny the veracity of the article, but we found nothing
to sway us either way. We guess next time we should contact the author
before putting a fishy page in NSD, instead of after.

==============

I think I'll stop looking for my copy of Carmina Burana now.

Hoax. Featured on both slashdot and kuro5hin. Apart from the date of the
article, notice the name of the monk's helper.

Date: 23 Mar 2001 08:29:44 EST


Late FOTD -- March 23, 2001 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

All right, I realize that the FOTD failed to appear when
promised.  I won't promise it at a particular time again until
the current confusion has ended.

Today's super-quick fractal once again takes advantage of the
'tdis' outside coloring option, producing one of the busiest
effects I have yet posted.

I named the picture "The Busiest Midget" because this is the
first name that came to mind.  Though the parameter file is
fast, the GIF file can be found at the following two sites:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather was cold and blustery, with a temperature of
46F (8C).  These conditions confined the fractal cats once again
to the indoors, where they sulked for my benefit.

I'll return in an indefinite number of hours with the next in
the unending series of FOTD's.  Until then, take care.

I believe it is not beyond the realm of possibility that he did it himsel=
f. People have fought and died in wars for religious beliefs. Besides, ma=
th types are usually hackers (and most 13th century monks were certainly =
hackers, 700 years before the invention of the computer but hackers nonet=
heless) and when hackers get their intellectual teeth in an interesting p=
roblem they don't let go and will move heaven and earth to solve it.

However, it does seem likely he had some assistance. However, Occam's raz=
or indicates that we should not postulate gods (or extraterrestrials) as =
the source of the assistance; as our modern computer technology indicates=
 man alone is sufficient. Two possibilities then occur: he had assistance=
 in hand calculations, or he had (possibly indirect) access to advanced t=
echnology. The former is very plausible, and the latter is not out of the=
 question. Obviously, no advanced technological civilization on a par wit=
h our own existed on earth within the past 11,600 years, or it would have=
 left clear archaeological evidence. Reading between the lines of the Ved=
ic literature of ancient India reveals that it was clearly cribbed from a=
n original source who was an eyewitness to the use of flying machines, in=
cluding heavier-than-air ones. Since the literature predates the Wright b=
rothers by thousands of years, 1930s era technology existed somewhere on =
earth, probably near India, in the distant past. Moreover, if it had been=
 more recent than 11,600 years ago, their technological detritus would be=
 littered over the land we are familiar with. Earlier than that, however,=
 our familiar civilized lands were buried under sheets of ice and large a=
reas of currently submerged land were above water. It is there that such =
a civilization's most advanced relics would be found. Such a civilization=
 (and its destruction!) would have left a resounding psychological shockw=
ave bouncing for millennia, and it probably has in the religions and lege=
nds of gods and great heros. It would have also left some knowledge scatt=
ered in copied and mutated books -- a possible source for a Mandelbrot im=
age in the 13th century, or for the Vedic literature or parts thereof.

Geological data suggests two sizable landmasses were exposed during the l=
ast ice age that are now submerged: the Celtic Shelf, a region of contine=
ntal shelf around the British Isles, and the shallow bottom of the South =
China Sea. The former would during the ice age have been an island the si=
ze of Greenland between Iceland and Europe, with present-day Britain and =
Ireland as mountaintops. There are megalithic relics here that present my=
steries if we try to imagine hunter-gatherers constructing them; of these=
 Stonehenge is the most notorious. Megaliths are notoriously hard to date=
 accurately because the radioisotopes present in most stones have half-li=
ves measured in millions of years. They can thus be dated to within hundr=
eds of kiloyears but no more precisely. The world's unusual megaliths are=
 all "recent" -- that is, from the past few hundred thousand years. One s=
tone circle in the British Isles, however, has been positively dated by o=
ther means peculiar to its circumstance. This circle (not Stonehenge) is =
11,600 years old or older, and the proof is that it is partially submerge=
d and was last exposed that long ago during the ice age. At that time, th=
e Celtic Shelf was exposed; the Gulf Stream would have given it a compara=
tively mild climate despite the ice age and latitude. It would have been =
comparable in climate to present-day Alaska, which has a technological ci=
vilized presence, and would have had comparable resources (Alaska has oil=
, the Celtic Shelf would have had the same coal seams that, so abundant i=
n Britain, birthed the Industrial Revolution there, and in vast quantitie=
s). The floor of the South China Sea is an even better candidate, the siz=
e of Europe and Asia Minor combined; 11,600 years ago it was a fertile eq=
uatorial plain with a climate comparable to present-day Florida and the M=
idwest, large meandering rivers, very suitable for agriculture; it would =
have been bordered to the south by a volcanic mountain range that is now =
the island chain of Indonesia. Whereas an Ice Age civilization had good o=
dds of developing industry in the Celtic area, its development of agricul=
ture, urbanization, and reading and writing would likely have occurred in=
 what is now Indonesia.

Certain legends and myths hint at advanced civilizations in the latter an=
d possibly both locations in the distant past. Three particular instances=
:
1. Plato's Atlantis. Plato dated the downfall of Atlantis at exactly 11,6=
00 years before present (adjusted for the elapsed
    time since Plato's writing). The ending of an ice age is probably a r=
ather violent affair, accompanied by devastating
    storms, changes in rainfall that could cause massive crop failures, e=
tc. -- add to that the massive flooding as the sea
    level rose and it becomes clear that much as it might sound like a go=
od thing it could well have toppled a civilization.
    (Recent scientific evidence from the GISP2 ice core indicate that the=
 onset of interglacials is much more abrupt than
    previously thought -- on the order of years or decades to go from ful=
l glacial to full interglacial conditions. No way can
    the sea and air reorganize themselves that radically without doing so=
 violently with massive hurricane-like storms,
    floods...) Moreover, the landmass in the vicinity of present-day Indo=
nesia is the size Plato described. Its location seems
    off by about 20,000km, but apparently the name "Atlantic Ocean" origi=
nally applied to the ocean then believed to circle
    the Old World -- before they knew about North and South America the n=
ame Pacific Ocean was not even invented!
    And Atlantis was reputedly destroyed by floods, earthquakes, and volc=
ano shortly after fighting a war with
    "unimaginable" weapons. The site in question is highly volcanic owing=
 to plate subduction nearby, and would have flooded
    rapidly with the thawing of the ice age.
2. The Norse myth of Ragnarok. Reading between the lines, it sounds like =
a (distorted) lesson about something we found
    very frightening during the 60s, 70s, and 80s -- Mutually Assured Des=
truction. Doesn't it seem at least somewhat
    plausible that some ancient civilization blew themselves up? In Ragna=
rok, the gods go to war and destroy each other and
    the world with them. Nuclear war, anyone? I wonder how big the Mighty=
 Hammer 'Mjollnir' was -- 60 megatons or 100?
    In the climate record, there's a mysterious 700-1300 year cold period=
 after the end of the ice age called the Younger
    Dryas (the name refers to oak pollen used to date the period and gues=
s its climate -- presumably the Older Dryas was
    the ice age itself). It is poorly-explained, but wooly mammoths were =
frozen in fierce blizzars while munching on summer
    grass so its onset was very sudden. Now what was that frightening pos=
sibility that people raised regarding long term
    effects from nuclear war? I seem to recall it was called "nuclear win=
ter"...
3. The Biblical stories of Exodus and Revelation. Ever seen 'Dante's Peak=
'? The fish boiled in the lake? The acid waters? The
    lava flows? The mud flows and floods? The town pulverised by a volcan=
ic explosion?
    It's been accepted in archaeological circles that the "shout"
    that felled the walls of Jericho was real, and was an earthquake in t=
hat notoriously earthquake-prone place called the
    Middle East. Exodus and Revelation sure sound like volcanic events, p=
robably on the ultra-plinian scale, VEI 7 or 8.
    (That level, BTW, makes Krakatoa look like a wet firecracker by compa=
rison. The scale is logarithmic, just like the Richter
    scale for earthquakes.) Indeed, fish boiled in volcanically-heated wa=
ters are a decent candidate for the "loaves and
    fishes" that fed the Israelites, who sure sound like refugees from a =
colossal natural disaster. Present-day Indonesia is a
    good candidate site for such a prehistoric disaster. Revelation has s=
everal passages of special significance, for its
    "Beast" is clearly none other than a volcanic island or mountain chai=
n -- one including seven major mountains or islands,
    ten individual volcanic vents or peaks, and a hellish amount of fire =
and brimstone to hurl onto the surrounding landscape.
    The passage about the Beast seeming mortally wounded with one head cu=
t off, only for it to regenerate, sounds a lot
    like what happens every time Krakatoa (from that very region) blows i=
ts top -- the whole mountain is destroyed, but the
    volcanic vent soon constructs a new one. One of the Beast's heads reg=
ularly falls off and regenerates to this very day!
    The "number of the beast" probably refers to the visual appearance of=
 the area -- three of the peaks have a "tail" off
    the mountain peak, making it look in relief topography like three six=
es! (Historical note: in addition to the well-known
    Krakatoa explosion of the late 1880s, it did its thing in the 15th ce=
ntury too, with markedly similar results -- a large
    portion of the island was utterly destroyed, and it regenerated by vo=
lcanic means, producing a new island amid the
    exposed fragments of the old -- which was itself destroyed in the 188=
0s eruption, only to be currently growing back
    again.)
    Incidentally, a VEI 7+ volcanic eruption would probably have caused a=
 700-year winter as effectively as a nuclear war.

Thus, there is much evidence to support a hypothesis that an advanced civ=
ilization existed near present-day Indonesia 11,600 years ago, probably s=
pawning offshoots elsewhere, fought an internecine conflict with nuclear =
weapons in its final
years, and was thus weakened into a state where an exploding volcano and =
nuke-and-volcano-assisted climate fluctuations
delivered the coup-de-grace.<br clear=3Dall><hr>Get Your Private, Free E-=

r than that, however, our familiar civilized lands were buried under shee=
ts of ice and large areas of currently submerged land were above water. I=
t is there that such a civilization's most advanced relics would be found=
. Such a civilization (and its destruction!) would have left a resounding=
 psychological shockwave bouncing for millennia, and it probably has in t=

 some knowledge scattered in copied and mutated books -- a possible sourc=
e for a Mandelbrot image in the 13th century, or for the Vedic literature=
 or parts thereof.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Geological data suggests =
two sizable landmasses were exposed during the last ice age that are now =
submerged: the Celtic Shelf, a region of continental shelf around the Bri=
tish Isles, and the shallow bottom of the South China Sea. The former wou=
ld during the ice age have been an island the size of Greenland between I=
celand and Europe, with present-day Britain and Ireland as mountaintops. =
There are megalithic relics here that present mysteries if we try to imag=
ine hunter-gatherers constructing them; of these Stonehenge is the most n=
otorious. Megaliths are notoriously hard to date accurately because the r=
adioisotopes present in most stones have half-lives measured in millions =
of years. They can thus be dated to within hundreds of kiloyears but no m=
ore precisely. The world's unusual megaliths are all "recent" -- that is,=
 from the past few hundred thousand years. One stone circle in the Britis=
h Isles, however, has been positively dated by other means peculiar to it=
s circumstance. This circle (not Stonehenge) is 11,600 years old or older=
, and the proof is that it is partially submerged and was last exposed th=
at long ago during the ice age. At that time, the Celtic Shelf was expose=
d; the Gulf Stream would have given it a comparatively mild climate despi=
te the ice age and latitude. It would have been comparable in climate to =
present-day Alaska, which has a technological civilized presence, and wou=
ld have had comparable resources (Alaska has oil, the Celtic Shelf would =
have had the same coal seams that, so abundant in Britain, birthed t=
he Industrial Revolution there, and in vast quantities). The fl=
oor of the South China Sea is an even better candidate, the size of Europ=
e and Asia Minor combined; 11,600 years ago it was a fertile equatorial p=
lain with a climate comparable to present-day Florida and the Midwest, la=
rge meandering rivers, very suitable for agriculture; it would have been&=
nbsp;bordered to the south by a volcanic mountain range that is now =
the island chain of Indonesia. Whereas an Ice Age civilization had g=
ood odds of developing industry in the Celtic area, its development of ag=
riculture, urbanization, and reading and writing would likely have occurr=
ed in what is now Indonesia.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Certain legends=
 and myths hint at advanced civilizations in the latter and possibly=
 both locations in the distant past. Three particular instances:</DIV> <D=

1,600 years before present (adjusted for the elapsed</DIV> <DIV> &nb=
sp;  time since Plato's writing). The ending of an ice age is probab=
ly a rather violent affair, accompanied by devastating</DIV> <DIV> &=
nbsp;  storms, changes in rainfall that could cause massive crop fai=
lures, etc. -- add to that the massive flooding as the sea</DIV> <DIV>&nb=
sp;   level rose and it becomes clear that much as it might sou=

   very frightening during the 60s, 70s, and 80s -- Mutually As=

 Ragnarok, the gods go to war and destroy each other and</DIV> <DIV> =
;   the world with them. Nuclear war, anyone? I wonder how big =
the Mighty Hammer 'Mjollnir' was -- 60 megatons or 100?</DIV> <DIV> =
   In the climate record, there's a mysterious 700-1300 year co=

p;   Dryas (the name refers to oak pollen used to date the peri=

sp;   the ice age itself). It is poorly-explained, but wooly ma=
mmoths were frozen in fierce blizzars while munching on summer</DIV> <DIV=

 frightening possibility that people raised regarding long term</DIV> <DI=
V>    effects from nuclear war? I seem to recall it was ca=
lled "nuclear winter"...</DIV> <DIV>3. The Biblical stories of Exodus and=
 Revelation. Ever seen 'Dante's Peak'? The fish boiled in the lake? The a=
cid waters? The</DIV> <DIV>    lava flows? The mud flows a=
nd floods? The town pulverised by a volcanic explosion?</DIV> <DIV>&=
nbsp;   It's been accepted in archaeological circles that the "=
shout"</DIV> <DIV>    that felled the walls of Jericho was=
 real, and was an earthquake in that notoriously earthquake-prone place c=
alled the</DIV> <DIV>    Middle East. Exodus and Revelatio=
n sure sound like volcanic events, probably on the ultra-plinian scale, V=
EI 7 or 8.</DIV> <DIV>    (That level, BTW, makes Krakatoa=
 look like a wet firecracker by comparison. The scale is logarithmic, jus=
t like the Richter</DIV> <DIV>    scale for earthquakes.) =
Indeed, fish boiled in volcanically-heated waters are a decent candidate =
for the "loaves and</DIV> <DIV>    fishes" that fed t=
he Israelites, who sure sound like refugees from a colossal natural disas=
ter. Present-day Indonesia is a</DIV> <DIV>    good candid=
ate site for such a prehistoric disaster. Revelation has several passages=
 of special significance, for its</DIV> <DIV>    "Beast" i=
s clearly none other than a volcanic island or mountain chain -=
- one including seven major mountains or islands,</DIV> <DIV>  =
  ten individual volcanic vents or peaks, and a hellish am=
ount of fire and brimstone to hurl onto the surrounding landscape.</DIV> =
<DIV>    The passage about the Beast seeming mortally woun=
ded with one head cut off, only for it to regenerate, sounds a lot</DIV> =
<DIV>    like what happens every time Krakatoa (from that =
very region) blows its top -- the whole mountain is destroyed, but the</D=
IV> <DIV>    volcanic vent soon constructs a new one. One =
of the Beast's heads regularly falls off and regenerates to this very day=
!</DIV> <DIV>    The "number of the beast" probably refers=
 to the visual appearance of the area -- three of the peaks have a "tail"=
 off</DIV> <DIV>    the mountain peak, making it look=
 in relief topography like three sixes! (Historical note: in addition to =
the well-known</DIV> <DIV>    Krakatoa explosion of the la=
te 1880s, it did its thing in the 15th century too, with markedly similar=
 results -- a large</DIV> <DIV>    portion of the island w=

Classic FOTD -- March 25, 2001 (Rating 3)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fractal is hardly worth its exalted status as FOTD for
March 25.  With almost no time to spare, I went to the parent
fractal of a recent FOTD, named it "Bits and Pieces", and
anointed it FOTD for March 25.

The rush is still due to the move into the new Fractal Central
Auxiliary.  Now the problem is clearing and cleaning the fractal
vestiges from the old Fractal Central auxiliary by the end of
this week, when the lease expires.

This means one more week of hasty FOTD's then a return to the
rambling discussions that used to keep things lively on the
philofractal list, which is basically dead at the present time.

Today's image is named "Bits and Pieces" because of the
scattered fragments of Mandel-stuff that fill the scene.  The
parameter file renders in under four minutes, and the GIF file
will soon be available on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://home.swbell.net/sdboyd56/fotd/>

The fractal weather today was cloudy and mild, with a
temperature of 62F (16.5C), which the fractal cats deemed ideal.

That's it for today.  I'll return in 24 hours, plus or minus 12
hours, with another fractal.  Until then, take care, and be
patient.

Subject: (fractint) "Fractal Art Screensaver Project" is ready.
Date: 25 Mar 2001 11:56:20 -0600

Greetings,

I am sending out this notice after receiving an email from Doug
Harrington, explaing that his time has been very limited lately and that
he "would welcome any help" regarding posting a notice of the
availabibility of the new screensaver.

Doug mentioned that he has already "submitted the saver to a couple of
major software sites, ZDNET etc. and still have some to do....", so
hopefully word will soon spread with everybody's help.

Doug Harrington has spent a lot of time and effort on this volunteer
project that was introduced several weeks ago.  He has been
communicating with 49 different artists, at different times, about
different topics, over a 4-6 week to finally resolve all issues that
could be resolved (considering the time and number of individuals
involved).

The basic information about the "Fractal Art Screensaver Project" may be
found at the following URL:

     http://Fractalarts.com/ASF/FASP.html

where you can review the Artists that were involved and retrieve a copy
of this project.  The file is approximately 7-MB in size, but
considering the software and number of images, this is really a great
deal of information packed into a single file.

I hope that this is only the first of many such projects, or even a
series of screensavers showcasing the fractal art of the worldwide
community.

Sincerely,
P.N.L.

Fellow Fractaliers-

Please pardon my asking this question which has probably been answered
elsewhere - wherever I haven't yet looked.

Nevertheless, how does the current Fractal Screensaver Project relate to the
existing allegedly Fractint-based screensaver (which I have never been able
to successfully download, run, or get help in doing either from its
Norwegian author despite repeated requests)?

Improved user/author friendliness of the existing screensaver would be a
nice change, as, no doubt, would be an entirely new effort from the ground
up.

Could someone (e.g., PNL, JM, TW) offer a few lines of overview?

Thanks.

The FASP was a collaboration of many artists using various fractal
generators.  This was done to create a Freeware product, to showcase for
the general public, the beauty and diversity of fractal images (or for
the fractal enthusiast to use on their PC).  It is a standalone
screensaver program with the submitted images from 49 artists.

I believe the FractInt screensaver uses the PAR and FRM files to
generate images, but having never used Thore Berntsen's utility, I could
not give any further details.  I do know that the web site no longer has
it available for download.

I don't think that you fully understand either the amount of devotion to a
subject that monks have or the Mandelbrot set.
From the look of the sketches, I estimate that he calculated about only
10-15 iterations per pixel, at a very low resolution.  This could very well
have taken the time that he spent on it, giving about 1 minute per
iteration, that means at most 10 minutes per pixel, so perhaps with a
resolution of 200x200, 400000 minutes. 277 full days.

Subject: (fractint) Missing FOTD
Date: 27 Mar 2001 07:17:12 EST

Fractal fans:

Despite my best efforts to continue the FOTD during the current hectic
conditions, I find I am unable to do so without an unacceptable decline
in quality.  In other words, I don't have the time to find the fractals and
write the discussion.  Therefore I must suspend the FOTD until the rush
has passed.  Look for the FOTD to resume around April 3.  There are
still googols of fractals I have not yet found, and lots of fractal
philosophy
I have yet to broach.

Date: 28 Mar 2001 12:36:28 -0000

Arh maaaan, it's my birthday today, and for the first time in months I've
got a completly empty FractInt mailbox today... Not even an FotD... and it's
raining! And I'm sitting at home all by my self... AND I've got to go to
work tonight, and scrub greasy floors on my birthday...

But still, all is not lost... Actually, I'm not writing this messing simply
to bore you all with my unhappyness (for this IRC was invented!) What I'm
really after is fractal formulae, 3 particular ones in fact...

Does anyone here (hello Morgan 8-) know what the generalised Quartic
Mandelbrot formula is?

Next, what about the experiment with the pendulumn and the three magnets?
Can anyone explain to me how I can get fractint to run that simulation? (The
video I saw it on did contain some differential equations, but 1. I do not
really understant such things and 2. I no longer have the video; the library
wanted it back!)

And finally, has anyone ever seen that Mandeloid based on Newton's
Approximation of the Cube Roots of Unity, the one that looks like a figure
of 8 rotated through 90 degrees? What's the formula for that?

Thanks.
Andrew.

PS. It may be raining, I may be all alone, and I may have to go to work
tonight, but I still have FractInt. And LaTeX. It could be much worse! (And
was until yesterday!!!)

The joke is, of course, that it's misspelled. ;) Thelonious Monk, a
jazz pianist. Died 1980-ish. Mighty nice music.

While I'm at it, I might just as well say "Hi" (I just subscribed,
thanks to recently born interest in the F-word) and challenge you
to come up with a fractal picture that represents a thelonious sphere.

Greetings,

I am sending out this notice after receiving an email from Doug
Harrington, explaing that his time has been very limited lately and that
he "would welcome any help" regarding posting a notice of the
availabibility of the new screensaver.

Doug mentioned that he has already "submitted the saver to a couple of
major software sites, ZDNET etc. and still have some to do....", so
hopefully word will soon spread with everybody's help.

Doug Harrington has spent a lot of time and effort on this volunteer
project that was introduced several weeks ago.  He has been
communicating with 49 different artists, at different times, about
different topics, over a 4-6 week to finally resolve all issues that
could be resolved (considering the time and number of individuals
involved).

The basic information about the "Fractal Art Screensaver Project" may be
found at the following URL:

     http://Fractalarts.com/ASF/FASP.html

where you can review the Artists that were involved and retrieve a copy
of this project.  The file is approximately 7-MB in size, but
considering the software and number of images, this is really a great
deal of information packed into a single file.

I hope that this is only the first of many such projects, or even a
series of screensavers showcasing the fractal art of the worldwide
community.

Sincerely,
P.N.L.

Hi Birthday Boy (Birthday Man?);

There was a software package that came out for MS-DOS 11 years ago. It
is called James Gleick's Chaos: The Software and I still have it,
although it's far from being state-of-the-art now. One of the fractal
modules is a program called Magnets and Pendulum. It used many magnets,
not just three, but 16, if you felt like having that number. The book
that accompanied the software discussed the mathematics of the program.
It was also stated in the book, "You can read more about pendulum
systems in James Gleick's Chaos: Making a New Science, pages 40-44. For
more information on sensitive dependence on initial conditions, see
Chaos: Making a New Science, pages 20-23. While the software package
will be hard to find, you may find it easier to locate Chaos: Making a
New Science at an online bookstore, Border's or Barnes and Noble; or try
Amazon.com or Bibliofind.com.

Hope this information is of use to you.

Now go and enjoy your birthday cake.

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks for the info. Now how about the Newton-Mandeloid and the General

Rudy Rucker!!  I'm a fan of that guy!  He wrote four (or more?) really
interesting (and different) SF novels.  Been ages since I read them,
and I keep noticing them on the shelf and thinking, "Hmmm, time to read
those again."  Having his name brought up here must be a sign that it
IS time to read those again.

Isn't Rucker the guy who first talked about the L26 system?  I think
it was in his book, MIND TOOLS.  If you consider the alphabet as a
base-26 numbering system, any word is a single number.  If you expand
the base a bit so you can include spaces and punctuation in your
symbols, you can consider entire sentences, paragraphs and even books
as single numbers.  Very, very, VERY large numbers.

But what a cool concept!  I wrote a program once that would take a
short string and return its number.  Wonder what I did with that...

Date: 29 Mar 2001 15:54:27 -0000

I know this one's a recurring theame but...

What's the deal with fractint's current development status? It's ages since
the last "official" release (not the developer's patches). There seems to be
very little happening. Is this true? Or are folk sooo busy developing that
they have no time to tell us about progress?

So, how many peeps are working on this, and what are they trying to do
(there's a whole wedge of things that people have asked for; true-colour
support, hypercomplex/quat parser formulas, more colouring options, more
builtin types, true-colour support...)

And then there's the whole question of porting FI to Windows to escape the
memory limitations of DOS. I've always wondered about this; why is there a
memory problem with DOS but not Windows? Surely FI doesn't do anything that
requires virtual memory (except disk video of course!) Could someone attempt
to explain this to me?

I expect I'm not the only one who's wondering about these things. Thanks in
advance for your answers.

Andrew.

Yeah, and base-128 numbers get **really** huge fast!!

Watch this!

CHRIS =3D (in decimal ASCII)  67, 72, 82, 73, 83

As a base-128 number:  67 * 128^4 =3D 17,985,175,552
                       72 * 128^3 =3D    150,994,944
                       82 * 128^2 =3D      1,343,488
                       73 * 128^1 =3D          9,344
                       83 * 128^0 =3D             83
                                    --------------
                      "My Number" =3D 18,137,523,411

For a mere five "digit" number!  It boggles the mind to consider the
size of the number of, say, WAR AND PEACE (or the latest Tom Clancy
novel)!!

Andrew,

Is this what you wanted for the Newton-Mandeloid?

KRup2000-41{
;By Rupert Millard
l=pixel
a=l*p1
b=l*p2
c=l*p3
;Solve the cubic equation z^3+bz^2+cz+d=0 - I must be mad
q=(3*b-a^2)/9
r=(9*a*b-27*c-2*a)/54
s=(r+sqrt(q^3+r^2))^(1/3)
t=(r-sqrt(q^3+r^2))^(1/2)
r1=s+t-a/3
r2=-(s+t)/2-a/3+(0,0.5)*sqrt(3)*(s-t)
r3=conj(r2)
;Then the centroid is the point to iterate
z=(r1+r2+r3)/3:
oldz=z
z=z-(z^3+a*z^2+b*z+c)/(3*z^2+2*a*z+b)
|oldz-z|>0.0001}

It iterates Newton's method cubic equation with coefficients proportional to
the coordinates of the pixel (starting at the centroid of the roots of said
equation.) This formula contains minibrots. For proof try:

temp               {
  ; By Rupert Millard ([e-mail]) on Mar 29, 2001
  reset=2001 type=formula formulafile=krup2000.frm
  formulaname=KRup2000-41 center-mag=-2.02977/-1.38778e-015/7.704635
  params=0/0/1/0/1/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 symmetry=none
  cyclerange=0/255 colors=@blues.map
  }

I could make an extended version, for UF as Fractint doesn't have enough
parameters. This would have a constant amount added on to the multiple of
the pixel coordinate (it could be stop a coefficient from being varied.)
Like all my UF formulae you could vary the bailout. It could also be
quartic. Would that produce cubic minibrots? I'll try and find out. Of
course, you're all welcome to try to beat me to it. Its a shame that
Fractint doesn't have the capabilities to handle more than five complex
parameters.

For the general quartic (nb. Requires patch Fractint 20.0.13 or more
recent):

QuarticMandelbrot{
;p1 is multiplier of z^4
;p2 is multiplier of z^3
;p3 is multiplier of z^2
;p4 is multiplier of z
z=c=pixel:
z=p1*z*z*z*z+p2*z*z*z+p3*z*z+p4*z+c
|z|<=128
}

If you are in a true color mode, that's the nature of the beast.  If you are
in a 256 color mode, then we broke it and I'll take a look at it.

Strangely, the Neomagic chip in my laptop does color cycling in true color
modes.  Unfortunately, it uses its own choice of colors.

I am currently working on the true color support for the DOS version.  There
seems to be a problem with the routines that Bert Tyler added.  At any rate,
I'm having difficulty getting the images to appear correctly colored on the
screen.  I'll let you know when it is fixed.

The memory limitations stem from two sources.  One is that Fractint is
compiled in the medium memory model.  This means that memory usable for near
data is limited to 64KB unless some form of swapping is done.  This memory
includes the stack space, and we are banging up against this limit
constantly.  And, no it isn't a simple matter to just change the memory
model.  The other problem is that we do indeed use extended and/or expanded
memory for options other than just disk video.  Saving the on screen image
when switching to a menu comes to mind.

I'll let all the other developer's respond to your question themselves.

Jonathan

My Web site is down right now; it's a long story as to how
and why, so I will skip the saga for now.  What I need now
is some data.

Someone was nice enough, a year or so ago, to direct me
to a service that provided "unlimited" Web server space for
five dollars US per month.  If you're out there, or are someone
with similar information, please pass it along.  I can't hope to
find the original message in the mountain of e-mail.

As always, FractInt people prove to be knowledgable people! 8-]

Thanks for the info. Now how about the Newton-Mandeloid and the General

Ah, yes!  I *knew* that "L26" didn't sound right.

Subject: (fractint) Fractint Development: The Ljapunow Type
Date: 30 Mar 2001 21:41:19 +0200

Hi :-)

In 1995 when I was still in school I read an article (by Mario Markus), about
Ljapunow diagrams in the german science magazine "Spektrum der Wissenschaft".
Last week, while cleaning up my desktop, it fell into my hands and I wrote a
small program to display these diagrams...

* Ljapunow diagrams absolutely *need* true-colour. :-)
  colouring the images there are (imho) two methods
  1. calculate the whole image, store the exponents fp-number for every
     pixel. After calculation, use a linear (or non-linear) function and the
     min and max values for the exponent to colour the image. The image can't
     be displayed while calculation runs.
  2. use a scaleable function that produces values in a fixed interval - 0..1
     for example. These values can be rescaled to fit into the
     Screens/X-Servers colour depth. I made good experiences with the
     Gauss-curve g(x) = exp(-(a*x)^2) and its complement h(x) = 1 - g(x).

     Parameter a can be used for scaling the curves width. The decision, if
     the exponent lambda is <0 or >=0 gives additional interesting information
     about the image:

    if (lambda>0.)
    {
        red = (int)(255. * (1-exp(-lambda*lambda*.2)));
        gre = (int)(255. * exp(-lambda*lambda*4.));
        blu = (int)(255. * (1-exp(-lambda*lambda*.8)));
    }
    else
    {
        red = (int)(255. * (1-exp(-lambda*lambda*.5)));
        gre = (int)(255. * exp(-lambda*lambda*40.));
        blu = (int)(255. * (1-exp(-lambda*lambda*.2)));
    }

     Has someone thought about a different way to colour these images?
     I would be interested :-)

* The logistic equation is fast to calculate ... but other equations are
  perhaps more interesting. I tried out

      f(x) = b*sin^2(x+r)

  it describes something about the optic stability of liquid cristals
  (whew;-). b is a fixed parameter; r is the periodic A-B sequence. I produces
  wonderful repeating textures (is 'procedural textures' the correct english?
  ... like those textures used for backgrounds in HTML files). In the article
  are 4 more equations given I have not tried out yet... (if someone is
  interested in an example, I can put some screenshots on my homepage)

* Fractint's way to specify the A-B-order is too complicated and unhandy for
  the normal user.

* I've had a look at xlyap (included in the xscreensaver package, only
  logistic equat., only 256 colours) ... it does some incredible speed-up
  (it looks like Fractint's boundary tracing for the complex-number fractals)
  perhaps one could find out how this works...






Thanks to the Stonesoup Group for the wonderful Fractint! :-))

As I continue the search for a new home for my fractals,
it seems that my site has risen from the dead.  How long
it will remain up is uncertain, but here's the announcement
that was slated for last week:

I have added Fractint Gallery 6, with my Fractal Art 2K
entries (which most of you have already seen) and a series
of evolving gravijul spirals.

Enter through Fractint Galleries or What's New.

Hi fractinters,

Does somebody know the Lyapunow-formula written for the Parser similar to
the build-in type, or a place (url or so) to find this formula?

Cheers,

Guy
