Nothing seems to be going right tonight.  The last message I posted
on this thread somehow dropped the first line (at least my server
did) which was:

I apologize to the list for accidenally resending Oliver's posting

>back to the list.  My mind wandered and I clicked on the wrong button.
>Anyhow...

[remainder snipped]

Guess I'll go to bed and hope things go better tomorrow.

Subject: (fractint) question about time

Somebody recently suggested that I include the computation time in
the pars I send to the list.  This seems like a good idea but, being
relatively new to Fractint, I don't how to do this.

Also, will it work if the image is saved unfinished and reloaded?

Help, someone?

TIA,
Paul Carlson

You can press the TAB key to display an info screen, one of the things on
this screen is the total calculation time so far.  This works for saved
images too.

There is also an option (for sstools.ini or the command line) called =

From: "Morgan L. Owens" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (fractint) Chby1 - Chby15 formula sets

I've been tinkering off and on with Chebyshev-type polynomials and various
representations. The sets now contain a total of 1800 formulas which are
for the most part "simple yet effective" - I'm not a maestro like Paul
Carlson! - but elaborate treatments would make for excessively large sets.
(Can we have formula inclusion? huh, huh?)

With gratefully acknowledged help from Gedeon Peteri I've knocked them into
a state worth beta-testing.

I don't want to simply post them here because (a) there's nearly two
thousand of the suckers, and (b) there's likely to still be a number of
bugs of varying types in the formulae.

I expect this collection to grow in the future, both in the number of
formulas and the number of treatments.

If you want to try out the set, email me and I'll send a zipped copy of the
formulae and example pars.

Below are those early test versions which I have already posted to this
list - one of which was from my "Colouring books rot the mind" request, so
I have taken the liberty of including the colourings that were posted.

Subject: RE: (fractint) question about time

I was the person who asked Paul for this.  I just assumed that someone
with such a prolific formula output couldn't be a newcomer!

Paul, add (or change) a line in your sstools.ini like this:
comment=______________(c)_Joe_Pearson_$date$_t=$calctime$/time_on_486-75
_640x480

The $calctime$ inserts the current calc. time into your par.  If you
have only partially calculated an image it puts in the calculation time
so far which could be misleading.  Reloading from saved images works
well (if calculation was incomplete the calctime starts to increase).

The one true fractint way :-) is to write a formula that overlays the
text on the fractal image.

This must be right because there's an example in the fract19.6
distribution of just this - see formula "fractint" by Sylvie Gallet in
fract196.frm; there are some others in my orgform collection.

But even a few letters must be hard work!

I've removed winfract from my hard disk so I can't confirm this, but try
just pressing the space bar when you've generated a fractal.
My 3-year old daughter was upset that colour cycling is not as easy in

Subject: RE: (fractint) Another newbie

Oliver, call yourself a purist? You have used a colour map with more
than one hue in it. :-)  A true "structure"-only fractal should be
coloured with one hue, linearly ranging from black to white.  Even the
"blues.map" includes both blue and cyan.  Example as used in my
recently-posted Double Pentagram attached below.  For best results, I
set inside=255 with these.

Seriously now!  I like the image.  I also stick to the packaged fractal
types and maps 75% of the time, and the mandel/julia types with
inside=solid/outside=iter/decomp=0 - and you didn't mention logmap=yes,
and no rotation or stretching - 50% of the time.  Not because I think
the other types and renderings are a waste of time but because my family
and my employer think they're ALL a waste of time.  Poor me ...

Subject: (fractint) Running in background under win95

I was about to appeal for help, but I have found the following works.
Yippee.  As I type this email my PC is calculating TWO pars from this
list in separate DOS sessions.

Find your fractint.exe in explorer, go into properties (Alt-Enter); on
the Misc tab set "Always suspend" to no, and "Idle sensitivity" to
lowest.  You can also do this on the fly, most easily by right-clicking
the FRACTINT icon on the windows taskbar and selecting properties.

1. save the partially-calculated image in your chosen resolution &
colour depth
2. set askvideo=yes
3. restore the image and select a disk-video mode with the *same*
resolution and colour depth
Calculation resumes but graphics are not displayed.
4. Swap to another window.  Do some work, post to the list, whatever.
5. Swap back when impatient or when it warbles at you.
6. Save (important!) without changing the disk-video mode
7. Restore the file just saved, selecting the real video mode you
started in
8. Save again
9. Optional: delete all the interim files that were created!

Exercise for the reader: get partobat to automate all this.

Regards, Joe

Somehow this suggests less Star Trek and more an vicious circle of

into a morass of dark green inter-office memos and company policy
documents.

Thanks.  The image took me by surprise.  I was randomly exploring near
the 18-order bud in the seahorse valley (don't you just love the
terminology) and found it.  I tried exploring nearby, which gives
similar but rotated/stretched images, and at similar points near other
buds, but everything was much simpler in structure.

Your colours are great: shiny, metallic.  I will probably continue to
use my plain maps for exploring and let other people do the colouring!

Still calculating your zoom.  I recommend zooming out and into this
structure to see the entire pattern which makes up this Julia set's
self-similarity.

I haven't checked out your pars yet, but I made a MAP file that just contains
lines going from RGB 0,0,0 to RGB 0,0,255. Renders nicely in 3d mode... almost
like the ocean floor! I'm making one that is RGB 0,0,0-0,255,0 and another that
is RGB 0,0,0-255,0,0. I'll post them all ASAP.

Remember, the Comp Time alone won't be of absolute use use unless the
type of CPU is also included in the report. My 386 and my Pentium Pro
200 have wildly differing times for the same Par!

Thanks Joe....

I added that line to my sstools.ini too.  One further question...I assume this
comment is made on the first line and that additional comments should be entered
into the 2nd and 3rd lines of the par....is this correct?

Welp...just goes to show you.  I have the same settings, and windows has a
nervous breakdown when I alt-tab from fractint.

You're about the only other person I've heard put it that way.  That's

Well, after OSR 2 there was OSR 2.1 (win95.21 or win95.3). And I've heard,
but never checked, the latest version is win95 OSR 2.5 (win95.22 or
win95.5). :-)

Before I got my PC I also had an Atari ST ;-)

And here's another Barnsley, just for you !

This sure looks more doom-like. You might even call it "Spiral of Quake".
But in fact, the title had no meaning at all. I just couldn't think of a
better name then. Your map-magic has created an all new image, but I still
prefer the original colors (standard blues.map) because they create a kind
of 3D illusion which somehow got lost with your colors.

Oliver
