Subject: (fractint) Problem with makemig.bat and screen

Lately I have been using the "b" function to create multi-image-gif's for
poster-size images.

As a number of large images takes a long time to calculate, I leave my
computer to itself and rely on the screensaver to shut-off the screen
(running under MSDos-promt in Win95).

This works nicely until a picture is saved: Having finished save the screen
goes blank - that is, the screen turn itself on, but with a blank black
screen, leaving the mousecursor as the only visible thing. Fractint appears
to calculate on as well as the mouse seems to work ok, but I can't get to
see, what I'm doing. There is no actual screensaving - I wake up to a
burning hot monitor after a long night of calculation.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening and how I can avoid it? I would
appreciate any help or clues.

Thanks, Kim

Get rid of the screensaver. It doesn't hurt to leave the scren on all the
time. Years ago that wasn't the case.

How do I put it in reverse?

Subject: (fractint) rep-tile L-systems

I'm trying to write an L-system that will recursively subdivide a polygon
with copies of itself, a "rep-tile".  The particular rep-tile I'm trying
to do looks like this:

+-----+
|     |
|  +--+
|  |  |
+--+  +--+--+
|  |     |  |
|  +--+--+  |
|     |     |
+-----+-----+

(If that doesn't look like a polygon to you, maybe you're using a
variable-width font in your mailreader.  Switching to a fixed-width font
would help.)

I can't seem to figure out how to do it.  The closest I've got is this:

triangled {
        angle 8
        axiom +x
        x=x[@iq2f@q2x][-ff+++x][+ff---x]
        f=ff
}

This produces things in the right positions and orientations, but
they're not the right things, really, and some lines in the resulting
image get drawn numerous times.  It *is* interesting to look at, though.
(And it would make a hell of a city plan, too.  :)

(Same caveat: I haven't tested this with Fractint.)

Anyone have tips on how to do rep-tile L-systems?

btw, I came up with some more variations on the Koch snowflake I posted
yesterday, some of which are more visually interesting.  I'll post them
if anyone wants to look at them.

Here's my attempt:

Reptile1{
Angle 4
Axiom R
R=FF+FF[+G|R]FF+FF[+G|R]FF+FF+FF-F[+R]RF+
F=GG
G=GG
}

The general scheme I use can be inferred from this example. 'R' is of
course the tile. Travelling around this I draw the edges of the tile ("FF"
is used because I'm working on the same scale as the subtiles) and come up
to the first subtile. Pushing my state on to the stack ('cos I don't want
to lose my place), I tweak my state and insert a subtile 'R'. Then I pop
back to my previous state and continue onwards.
The next two lines simply rescale my moves at each generation and prevent
redrawing already-existing edges.

Post Scriptum: a few more rep-tiles.

Reptile2{
Angle 4
Axiom Q
Q=FFF|P|QFFF-FFFF-FFF|P|F-QFF+FF-FF-
P=FFF|Q|PFFF+FFFF+FFF|Q|F+PFF-FF+FF+
F=FF
}

Reptile3{
Angle 4
Axiom R
R=F+R-F-FFF+L-F+FF+FFF+L-FFF+F+R-FFF+FF+
L=F-L+F+FFF-R+F-FF-FFF-R+FFF-F-L+FFF-FF-
F=FF
}

Reptile4{
Angle 6
Axiom R
R=++FFR+FFR+FFR++FFFRF
F=FF
}

My recommendation would probably be to switch the monitor off if working
overnight. But perhaps your system is one that doesn't let you do that - I
have seen such.

orgfrm.zip (only one "o") is the file which you download from spanky. It
has two compressed files, readme.1st and orgform.zip (two "o"s). After
reading the text file, you then need to perform a decompression on
orgform.zip to get all the formulas files and the program.

Turn the screen saver off (on the Display control panel.) Also turn off
the "power saving" features. When you want the monitor off (because
you're asleep, or whatever) just turn it off... of course, for running
overnight calculations, you're probably better off just rebooting into
MS-DOS instead of Win95...

Cool!

I came up with a relatively similar solution after posting last night:
reptile_1 {
        angle 4
        axiom ++x++f-f-ff-ff-f-f
        x=x[g+g-x][-g+g-x][+g+g-x][++f-f-f[+f]f-f[+f]f-f-f]
        g=gg
        f=ff
}

I think yours is neater, though.

I've added diagrams to your others:

I suggest you contact William Mcworter at: "[e-mail]" who is very
sharp at figuring out l-systems.
Have you seen his tutorial at:

I like the new layout, and it seems to load quicker without the frames.

Les..

Thanks yet once again for your wonderful service in collecting all the pars and
formulas.  I for one was still reviewing the phenomenal output you collected for
May and would have missed most of the June material but for you!!!

Angela

P.S.

Love the 3d images at your website

Subject: (fractint) lake pars

I recently got back from vacation- no computer,
no phone, and after a few days by a lake & waterfalls
had some energy for abstract thought.  One thing I
was doing was trying to picture the 4-D Julibrot,
or at least think about 3-D of the 4-D Julibrot and
what the 2-D slices of this were showing.  Anyway, this
fit in with Jim Muth's great tour of the odd planes in June.
I have some technical questions that I am trying to put
together but meanwhile- here are some water-based pars.

Subject: (fractint) Taking the lazy way out...

REQUEST FOR COMMENT:

I am writing a simple DOS program to read a .PAR file,
extract all the parameter names inside it, and write out a
batch or autokey file which will do a quick plot of them
all. I find this preferable to doing it manually. (The last
straw was a PAR file with over 50 parameters!)

When finished I will make this app available to all.

Before I cast the code in concrete I am interested in
obtaining your opinions on a few matters.

Assuming you do not sit and plough through the PARs
manually yourself - Do you use multi-line DOS batch files?
(each line a complete Fractint batch=y @parname/etc.....)
or do you use the Autokey method to program sequences of
plots? I have had better results from the latter, but am
worried by the warning in the help file that says this is
not guaranteed between releases. (or maybe you do it
another way entirely?)

I am very interested in any comments anyone may have - and
will listen to all suggestions and ideas.

A problem that has already arisen is the naming of
parameters. I wanted to use the name in the savename, so I
knew which plot came from which paramater - but the names
can be up to 18 chars, and DOS only accepts 8 chars for the
filename. Any thoughts?
