I added a new page to my Geocities website consisting of Theme and

with this sort of thing :) but much to my regret I was otherwise
engaged. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Hi Les,

I too want to thank you for your sstools demo. I found comment=
particularly useful. A few questions:

  Is there a way to set viewwindows=3 but still have Fractint start with
  full screen, not the viewwindow?

  Askvideo=no works well on my IBM laptop which has only 800x600
  resolution, but on my PC with many possible resolutions, it gives a
  small sceen and incomplete calculation.

  What (and I hope you'll forgive my ignorance) is partobat?

Thanks,     Lee

Well, it's been awhile.  I imagine most of you have forgotten me.  :) It's
been quite a while (six months, in fact) since my galleries were last
updated.  I have added a new gallery page, however, with eight new fractals
generated with various formulae, as well as classic Julias.

I must give credit where credit is due.  I used Paul Carlson's formulae
for those, since he is a much more talented formula writer than myself.

From: "Tim Wegner" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (fractint) Function variable presets

I have a question for users about the function variables in Fractint.
These are the variables fn1, fn2, etc. that are used in some built-in
fractal types and can also be used in formula types.

Currently there are no preset values for these that are fractal-type-
specific. For example, if fn1 = sin and fn2 = tanh, these values are
remembered when you change fractal types even though the
function variables probably have completely different meaning for
the new type.

I have two related issues, both relating to some code contributed
by Humberto Baptista.

1. Humberto has added a new type (another from the prolific Cliff
Pickover) that generates just a naked blue dot with the default
values of the function variables. This fractal type is begging for
some different default function variable values, but I'm not sure what
the logic would be. Change to the defaults only when the fractal
type changes? But if you played with this fractal, moved to a
different type, then came back, would the function variables be
reset? Or should Fractint remember the function variable values,
and have separate defaults, for each fractal that uses them?

2. Humberto has also added a generalized popcornjul fractal. I
dislike adding new types unncessesarily, and would prefer to
merge the generalized type with the limited one. This, however,
requires making the function variables default to the values that
make the generalized popcornjul the same as the ungeneralized
one, so the issue of preset values for function variables comes up
again.

Does anyone object to giving all fractals that use function variables
preset values that are reset to the defaults whenever the fractal
type is changed to that type?

Tim

Hi Tim,

    If I'm hearing you correctly...this would eliminate the
"surprize" factor ...when one has been working with a specific formula and
then
changes to an other without "restarting" fractint???
    " If " this is the case... I, personally, might miss the occasional surprize
of finding that fractint has retained some info. from the last type
used....but I wouldn't call it an objection.
    Maybe....in an instance where there is going to be information
carried over from the last "type"....fractint could prompt with the option...
"Restart fractint? y or n ?"   right at the point where one would begin to
move to and other .frm?
Just a thought. Either way is ok with me.
{ awaiting 2.0 with baited breath!}

Hi...

How about an option is sstools.ini?
resetfn=yes/no

Also....possibly... and option to "not" load the default color map when
changing types...but stay with the last map used?

defaultmap=y/n

Finally... something that has to do wih the program itself rather than its
results :)

Yea... and make it a menu option somewhee.

Also yes, and also make it a menu option somewhere.

(Still) waiting very impatiently for version 20!!! (2.0 was a LONG time ago

Hi Lee,

I don't know a way to do this directly with an sstools.ini command. However,
here's a workaround:

Edit your sstools.ini file to contain the line
viewwindows=3

Now write a "key" file (just a plain text file) containing the following lines

"v"
"n"
"ENTER"

Save this file as "vw_no.key"

Now start Fractint using the command line "fractint autokeyname=vw_no.key
autokey=play"
(This command line can be saved as a batch file to allow you to start Fractint
this way every time).

The net result of all this is to launch Fractint with a viewwindows setting of
"3", but immediately press the keys <v> <n> and <enter>, thus returning you to
full screen mode. Now whenever you press <v> the default viewwindow reduction
factor will be "3"

Clear as mud ?

>  What (and I hope you'll forgive my ignorance) is partobat?

It's a stand-alone program dedicated to producing Fractint batch files from
Fractint par files.
It simply scans the contents of the par file and writes a batch file based on
any settings (e.g. video mode etc.) in the [partobat] section of sstools.ini

You can get partobat from Jo Weber's site at:

Sounds fair.  I would also like the ability to have preset
(default) fn and parameter (p1 - p3) variables for formula types
(and perhaps more of them?).

Since we're talking about Fractint v20 final tweaks (I know,
I should use the wish list, but... well, I'm lazy - e.g.:), how
about an easy one with big benefits: the ability to delete pars
from the "@" (load par) screen?  It would spare me a lot of
note taking and manual editing!

Subject: (fractint) Need help with sstools.ini settings

With the recent discussion of sstools.ini I decided it was a great idea
to organize my maps in one folder, pars in another (All within the
fractint directory) Unfortunately, I've unintentionally gummed it up
somewhere because now if I try to change color maps "C", "L" and select
a map, my monitor looks like a TV with no reception. (Lines moving
everywhere but I can't see anything else).  I'm using the same video
mode as always "SF5" and the initial display of an image displays fine
so my guess is that it has something to do with my moving the maps to a
separate folder.

Your suggestions are appreciated!
Judy

Below is my current sstools.ini for fractint:
[fractint]
textsafe=bios
fastrestore=yes
recordcolors=yes
video=sf5
float=yes
parmfile=g:\fractint\*.par
formulafile=g:\fractint\formula
map=g:\fractint\maps\blues.map
