Bud,

subtraction,

<

Easy, actually. The parser keeps track of whether the next token is to be
an operator or a variable. When a "-" comes up, it is subtraction in the
former case and negation in the latter.

Subject: (fractint) Stalk Segments Formula

comment {
This is a brand new formula.  It uses a modified 3D Stalks
rendering method - modified to plot only a segment of each
stalk.  The reason I developed this method is because the
3D Stalks method does not work well with the classic
Mandelbrot set equation.  Because the epsilon cross is
centered at the origin and the origin is a critical point,
the midgets were always covered by stalks.  The present
formula starts plotting the stalks away from the origin
and also limits their length so that no stalk crosses a
midget.  The resulting images are quite different, but
kind of nice.

I haven't given any suggested values partly because I
haven't used the formula much (just 2 images), and also
because I suspect the values may vary quite widely.
Both of the pars below are for images near the period-8
bulb.

Subject: (fractint) Re: Tiera-Zon coloring

Hi,

Does anyone know how, if possible, to use color maps in Tiera-Zon.  Is
there a way I could convert from map to .clr?

I really like the random cycling that comes with Fractint and Winfract,
which Tiera-Zon doesn't have--It cycles only within a color map (or clr,
as it is called in Tiera-Zon.)

Also, can I use Fractint maps and frms in Winfract, such as the frms and
maps on this list?

Thanks for answering as many of these questions as you can.  Sorry so
many at one time.

Best regards,
Kivryn

Excuse me for butting in here, but subtraction has two arguments, while
negation (or positation <g>) is a unary operator. They are different operators
with different priorities. I just finished writing a formula parser for my
Trumand program (not yet released <g>) so I have all these operator priorities
and syntax diagrams running around in my head right now.

Kir...

If you don't get a satisfactory answer from this list about Tiera-Zon's
features, I suggest you contact Stephen Ferguson directly.  He has always been
most generous in answering even my dopier questions. Personally I'm not aware of
a way to convert from a fractint map to a -zon map. And if it's not obvious it
probably can't be done.  I have great respect for the amount of time Stephen has
paid to user interfaces....I found his programs a snap to learn. Good
documentation too.......I sure wish Fractal Orbits....which is great fun....had
just a tad better documentation.

All map files work just fine for winfract.  Just plop them onto your image. The
limitation is that you can't color cycle the maps in winfract unless you reset
your monitor's color resolution to 256 colors. This may or may not be as simple
as the click of a mouse.....Micro-snot does offer a nice little set of
tools....power toys....which instantly change your monitor's resolution
(well....most of the time anyway).  Works for many....but not for all. You can
get the power toys from the microsoft site. Best of luck....you always need that
with a microsnot product.

F.O.T.N. (Fractal of the Night) 7 May 1998 (Reaching)

It seemed forever to Dr. E (and to most of us also). First
down this corridor and then down that corridor. She should
have entered the hospital by another way. And she would
have if she knew her way around here better. For a moment
she thought she saw Dr. J but then realized it was just a poster
begging for donations (Fig. 1) to support the new
fractrauma wing of the hospital. This is where Dr. J probably
was by now, given what had happened to him.

"Oh miss... Oh miss...." Was that someone calling to her?
After all she was wearing her fake candy striped volunteer
outfit and pig tail wig.

She ignored the calls and moved on toward Dr. J's room. The
doctors claimed he is not iterating but she had to know for
herself.

Hello,

  I am new to this list(few days), and was wondering if I could have some
insight on when (if?) fractint will have full high/true color support. I
had hoped to see it fully in the current version, as I have been using
fractint scince the Fractal Creations Book and fractint v15.13. I am a
programmer and if anyone wishes, I will give any help I can to make at the
min 32k color fractals the standard. If this isan overdiscussed/pre-stated
point forgive me. I simply must know. :)

No, I believe you're wrong.  The crt unit has something to do with manipulating
text on the screen, if I remember correctly.  If only I had my Turbo Pascal 5 I
could tell you for sure... :(

Subject: Re: (fractint) Partobat problems

I thought this sounded familiar....  if you go and take a look at:

http://www.mygale.org/02/renan/

which is the homepage for a rather groovy music to pretty patterns program, there in the list of updates is:

march 1998, the 1st
  The problem on aestesis dos with the PentiumII is corrected,
  this problem was due to an error in the crt lib of borland pascal.
  I've integrated the patch from borland in the new compilation.
  download the new aestesis dos pack :

A quick look at the borland (now inprise) site reveals:

http://www.inprise.com/devsupport/pascal/

 Runtime Error 200 - 'Divide by 0'
 Applications that use the CRT unit may generate this error message
 when running on very fast machines (i.e. Pentium Pro 180 and above).
 The cause of this error is a timing loop that occurs as part of the
 initialization of the CRT unit. This timing loop counts how many clock
 ticks occur within the loop and then that number is divided by 55. The
 result of this division is a value that is too large to fit into an integer
 value. The 'Divide by 0' error message is the catch-all error that is
 displayed when this overflow occurs.

 There are currently no Borland endorsed patches for this problem.
 There are several user provided patches available on the internet that
 patch both the CRT unit as well as existing EXE files. The easiest way
 to obtain these patches is to go to www.altavista.digital.com and
 search on '+ bp7patch.zip + tppatch.zip' without the quotes.


So there you go!

I'll leave further investigations to those who have Borland Pascal. I hope the
non programming portion of the list doesn't mind this meaningless technobabble, look on it as an insight into the things
that can come and bite you when you least expect it in the ever changing world of Information Technology :-)

Cheers,
     Robin.

Friends,

Some recent postings of the gravijul formula have contained some extra
lines from the "official" version of the formula. These extra lines make
assignments to p1, p2 and p3 in the initialization section of the formula,
which would override different settings in a par entry.

People who save formulas as they are posted here should make sure to delete
the rogue version of this very popular formula. Here is the correct
version:

gravijul {; r^(-2) Mark Christenson 1/25/98
   ; defaults: p1 = (1,0) p2 = (0,0) p3 = (4,0)
  z = pixel:
  w = fn1(z)
  z = fn3(p1/fn2(w*w)) + p2
  |z| < p3

I don't think the CRT means C run time. All the procs and functions of crt
are related to text-mode viewports.

This formula uses a very unusual coloring method.  The color
range is determined by the iteration count, but the color
within the range is determined by the 3D Stalk method.  The

I'd appreciate knowing what you think of this method - if you

Paul,

There is not a formula you posted to this list, including this one, I
don't think very highly of, but I am only remiss in saying so often
enough. Watching for your posts and running the pars is one of the
highlights of my experience with this list. So by all means: keep them
coming!

Subject: (fractint) SStools.ini help

In a fit of stupidity, I dumped my sstools.ini file. I have a Matrox Millinium
8meg card which does funny things if I don't set the viewtext thingummy
properly.  Maybe it was some other thingummy.....I forgot!!!

But anyway, if I switch from fiddling around with a fractal image to loading
colors, I get a very goofy image.  To correct the problem I have to re-select
the video mode.

I know this group had excellent suggestions which I implemented in my
sstools.ini file and the problem disappeared.

I DID look at the help available in Fractint and at the sstools.ini sample
before I posted my plea. I looked at the Fractint documentation. I KNOW this
issue is covered somewhere on the web.....but where?????? If not at spanky, I
truly believe there ought to be a link off the spanky documenation page to the
explanatory page......with ALL the options described (please). I mean.....Spanky
is the bible, right?? Well...at least the start of the journey to Fractint
enlightenment. <<humble bow to the Fractint wizards>>

Thanks for any help.....you can send prophalactic email to [e-mail].

Angela

Subject: Re: (fractint) Unusual Double Exposure Formula

Gedeon,

Thanks for the comments - I really appreciate them.  I consider this
particular rendering method kind of a novelty, and so my asking for
commennts was to try to determine if it was worth my time (and yours)
to do some more formulas using it, rather than use the time to do
formulas using the types of rendering that I have been doing.  Now
that spring has arrived in Colorado, the amount of time I'll be
spending at the computer for the next 5 or 6 months is limited.

Subject: (fractint) You asked for it.

Netscape Communicator so-called "Professional Edition" 4.05 crashed again, and
this time completely locked up my computer, costing precious data. I am
absolutely stunned that a product this fragile and useless and downright
*dangerous* ever made it past testing.

If you carefully inspect the mail headers, you will see that I am no longer
using Netscape. In fact, you will see that I am using your worst enemy's
browser and mail tools. Let this be a lesson to you.

Please note that I am going to be making my experiences with your so-called
professional products publicly known.

Subject: RE: (fractint) Partobat problems

Well, what does CRT mean in this case?  I really doubt it's cathode ray =
tube, because (almost) no program out there directly interfaces with it, =
and that's only through a video card, which changes resolutions and =
refresh rates and whatnot.  The most direct manipulation I've ever seen =
(on a CRT, I mean) is on a demo that changed the refresh rate =
dynamically to produce cool looking swirls via interference patterns.  =
(And that would probably be done through the video card.)
