Instead of getting involved in the new age thread, I was off from work for
2 weeks making my own statement of fractal/new age philosophy.  See if you
can find in on:

Hey, don't sweat it.  I didn't pay the address any attention when I "cut and

Hi All,

  Yet another formula and par from Paul Carlson!

        - Sylvie

- --------------------------------------------------------
Here's another formula quite similar to the 3D_Phoenix_Spirals
formula I sent some time ago, the similarity being that both
formulas use a variation of the ATAN method.  I've added a
couple of PAR files that produce images that I like.  Don't
be put off by the maxiter=3D5000, they both execute quite fast.

Hi All,

I've been making fractals for five years and on the internet for two. So
why no Fractal web page?
I dunno!

Anyway, it's there now!

Find it at:  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Les_StClair/

There's two galleries of Fractint images, plus all my par files & formula=
s
to download.
There's also galleries of Flarium24 and Fractal Elite images (am I allowe=
d
to mention them here?)
Not only that, but a Fractal eXtreme movie too! (which you can see "live"=

on your browser if you're using Netscape Navigator 3 or Internet Explorer=

4).

Have a nice long phone call!

cheers, Les

Jim....

I'm not sure what you want to know about color maps....but Linda Allison
has two excellent lessons on using and making them which I host at my web
site....

http://wizzle.simplenet.com/fractals/fractalintro.htm

These lessons are easy to understand and full of examples. I liked them so
much I asked Linda if I could host them so they would always be
available......also take a quick look at my Fractint hints which gives the
very basics of grabbing a color map from an existing image.

Angela aka wizzle

ps.   you are welcome to download any of my gifs and use my color maps

Wonderful page...no wonder it took you two years!!! My first effort was

to download with the images.....no wondering what goes with what.  I also

How do you like Flarium?? (did I say a bad word)????

Angela,
They may be helpful if you want to make maps from scratch, so to speak,
without a particular fractal in mind.  In addition, Mapmaker can save (or
convert) map files in the csv format, which can then be graphed and
manipulated in interesting ways in Excel.

Humpf....

I do that anyway with Fractint based on what I learned from Linda.  I've
been able to figure out how to make maps that "do" things in a general way
(like carving out areas of black) then do very minor tweeking for
particular images.  What I like about Linda's explanations is she say HOW a
map enhances and image...not just the mechanics.

But the excel part sounds interesting.....and I know we all learn in
different ways....do you have examples of stuff before and after excel
manipulation?? I can only understand what I can see.....not technical
explanations.

The formula for WhirlPool is actually quite ordinary. Its the standard
Fractint mandel(fn||fn). Here is the equivalent Fractint par file. This will
generate the same image, but with the banding characteristic of Fractint:

Some of the images do use a variant of the Pickover orbit trap method. The
variant allows coloring to give a more 3D effect, and a user variable to
determine how close to the x or y axis the orbit must be to be trapped. The
coloring is based upon both the iteration count and how close the orbit is
when it is trapped. I am thinking about incorporating some of Paul Carlson's
great methods, since it would be a simple add-on to my current code.

>> I put together a quick FractInt FRM to mess around with the technique--it
 is most effective, even in 256 colors.  What's particularly impressive is
 that it works for types like NovaM, where I've been trying in vain to apply
 Linas Vepstas' algorithm.  How does the exponential color value relate to
 the iteration value (or does it)?

  >>

As far as the relationship between the iteration count and exponential color
value, I have done some empirical exploring running the compiler in the debug
mode but have found no clear relationship. For low iteration counts the
iteration count may be 10 fold or so larger. As the iteration count increases
it looks like the exponential color value might converge towards the iteration
value. For some of the images on my page, the ratio is less than 1.5. This
might be an interesting area to explore mathematically. Note that for
WhirlPool the Fractint coloring based upon the iteration count and exponential
coloring are quite close. All I had to do was to rotate the palette a little
bit.

Thanks, everyone who is using Makemap. By the way, any fractint map, including
the ones created with Makemap, can be readily brought into Excel by using
space as the delimiter rather than comma (csv).

Special note to Angela: Makemap can create maps, both by the Fractint
approach, and it can also use four different algorithms to design a complete
map (sine, fourier, HSI and RGB). It runs under Windows 3.1 and 95. I haven't
checked it under NT.

Thanks for the explanation....let's see foyer transformation (has to do

It's truly wonderful how Fractint allows us artsy types to communicate so
well with you technical/math wizards and brings us together.

QuartzM2C { ; Mandelbrot set 2 sliced diagonally

    c=z*b
    z=(pixel+p1)*(3*c-4*b-6*a+12*z)+(pixel-p1),

Could someone please tell me, to use this formula, which is the part to be
saved in a frm file? All, or just from z down?

Also, having saved a frm, Fractint prompts for parameters. How do you feed
info from par file to the pars screen?
IS it just a matter of having 2 half size screens open, and manually
entering the pars, or can Fractint automatically enter parameters from a
specified par file. If so, where does one specify the par file?
Your tolerance and patience appreciated

Subject: (fractint) entering formulas

Angela, Bill, and all helpful fractinters,

Getting there slowly
This is the par file, exactly as saved in notepad. No spaces apart from
those
to the left of reset.
Saved in fractint/pars

elegance           { ; by Angela 1997 using deeps7.map
  reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=bessels.frm formulaname=BESSEL-2
  center-mag=-8.88178e-016/6.66134e-016/1.041667/1/90 float=y
  inside=bof60 periodicity=0
  colors=00000S<6>000<15>zzm<15>0000700F0<13>0zm<13>080040000<15>z0z<14>40\

  000<15>00z<7>00W
  }


THis is the frm file, saved in notepad via edit, in order to retain
the frm extension. Notepad will only save as txt.
Saved as BESSELL-2.FRM in fractint

BESSEL-2 {
      c = z = pixel:
         z = cos(z) / z + pixel,
      |z| <= 100
}

Am I right so far?
I still get an oops message, and can't parse that formula

Is there a way for the pars to load automatically, or does one always type
them in manually

THanks,
Beth

I may be doing this all wrong, but what I do seems to work fine for me. Due
to limitations of notepad I have .frms' defaulted to WP. In the above
formula, I suspect a little bit was missing: first line after   Bessel-2 I
added:  (after the "{"  ; Bessel2

It now works fine.

The .par, after inserting into .par file also worked fine. (got rid of the
">'s".

(>Is there a way for the pars to load automatically, or does one always type
>them in manually)

For what I am doing, still using windows, I highlight the entire thing, hit
ctrl-c, bring up where I am going to put the item, then hit ctrl-v. Saves a
lot of typing.
