<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Folks, no more messages about viruses, real or otherwise on this
list, which is about fractals. Also, when you chastise a foolish list
member for posting something off topic, unfortunately you
exacerbate the problem if you post it on the list. Send the mail
privately. I have written Barry an email about his off topic post, and
I want to see no more discussion about this on the list.


I don't even want to see any "right on" messages in response to
THIS message, I already KNOW I'm "right on" :-)


Thanks, I'm sure with a moment's thought you all see the point.
This list is for fdiscussion about fractals. Messages on any other
topic, even topics of weighty import, reduces the usefulness of this
list.


Thanks to everyone for generally following this quite well, with the
occasional lapses that annoy us all.

Thanks for this job! It's a good idea! I'm now motivated to experience
formulas this way...

I think, I gonna set the:  width = real(scrnmax/imag(p3))


and the :  x = trunc(real(scrnpix)/width + 0.5) to

           x = round(real(scrnpix)

so the     y = trunc(imag(scrnmax - scrnpix)/width/0.75) to

           y = round(imag(scrnmax - scrnpix)/width/imag(p3))

... with the old "try and error" methode.. (I'm a mathematically a simple "0")

  Hi Folks,

   I just wanted to say that I'll always be a Fractint list member.  I notice
a bit of a migration towards UltraFractal as even myself have done, but
Fractint will always be King in my opinion. Although UF does some really fine
stuff with images, I prefer to search for them using Fractint first and then
fine tuning them with UF afterwards.

     Regards~

Subject: (fractint) Web Page Construction--Help!!  O/T?

Hi guys and gals,

I really need some suggestions on how to get a web page up without
having to learn all that html stuff.  I've got a good book for it, but
since I've been working I just don't have time to sit down and learn
it and do everything else I have to do in a day. Is there an easier
way to make a web page?  I just want something simple:  a front page
for a little write up and links to gallery pages and maybe a link
page.  The galleries I simply want to set up for maybe 16 thumb nails
to take you to the larger version of the fractal.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions?  I'm wanting to do another site
for some other creative work, but it's a little more complicated (I
think).  But I'd love to get my fractal site up.  :)

Thanks to any and all who can help me.

If you find a website that is similar to what you want to do for yours,
then you could just use the browser's FILE | SAVE_AS to get a copy of
the source HTML and modify it for your own.

Also, there are several products available on the market for webpage
creation (Freeware and Shareware).  Just download one from the various
"give-away" websites and have a go at learning that software.

Either way, you will have to learn something new.  But HTML is not hard
at all, and Notepad is the perfect editor.   :-)

I would like to create large high res. Fractint Pictures with Fractint
19.6. My goal are 4096*2732 points 256colors. I didn't find an easier
way to create manually the
four 1024 * 768 pictures by evaluating the x-y-coordinates ba my own
hands.
And then putting them together in a pciture-edding-Program like Corel.

Does anybody has an idea to make this more efficient?

Yours sincerly,

Axel Schwan=E4u=DFer

Axel,

In fractint, hit "b" for the save pars screen.  Toward the bottom there
are places for you to specify x and y multiples.  If you put a "2" in
each, fractint will divide the screen in 4, 2 rows, 2 columns and save the
pars for the four images, together with a file called makemig.bat (IIRC).
When you run makemig.bat from the command prompt it will batch generate the
four images and piece them together into a multi-image gif file, and if you
remove the "rem" at the beginning of the next to last line of makemig.bat
(the line that refers to simplgif) it will convert the multi-image gif to
a straightforward gif (since many viewers don't handle multi-image gifs).
There is more in the fractint documentation.

You can use this technique to make images up to 64Kx64K, if you have the
machine to handle it.  Even for smaller images, it helps to have lots of
memory, as to make the simple gif image the machine needs enough memory
(or disk space) to hold 3 copies, uncompressed.

Sometimes there are problems at the edges of the component images,
particularly if you use a guessing method for drawing, so I usually use
the one pass method to avoid the problem.

One thing to remember is that by dividing up the images, you are
effectively zooming into the original.  You might need to up the interation
count in the original (or edit the pars, which are in fractint.par) and
you need to be careful when you are near the limits of fp math, as a zoom
my put you into arbitrary precision, and really slow things down.

Hope this helps (and isn't wrong - but I'm sure someone will set me
straight if it is).

Your close, Michael.  But there are a few steps that should be
clarified, I think.

I have a web page up that explains how to make high resolution prints in
Fractint.  You have to use makemig and simplgif both.

You can check it out at:

http://www.geocities.com/~gumbycat/lesson4.html

Hope that helps!

Hi there!
    I'm relatively new to fractals and I have a question about deep zooming.
I've been looking at a mandelfn(sin) fractal, and when I zoom fairly far
into it, the pixels stop being square and start being small vertical lines.
Is this normal?  Have I reached the effective limit of magnification or is
there some way around this?

Subject: (fractint) Unusual minibrot

I have been exploring some formula variations of the Mandelbrot set in
which every other iteration is perturbed by another function. I came across
an unusual set of spirals around a minibrot which I thought looked neat.

========== The Formula =======================

multifract1 = { ; Ron Barnett, January 1999
   ; Use decomp = 256 or outside = atan
   ; Use imag(p3) to change the color spread
   zc = z = c = pixel
   IF ((real(p1)) == 0 && (imag(p1) == 0))
      p1 = (0,-0.5)
   ENDIF
   IF ((real(p2)) == 0 && (imag(p2) == 0))
      p2 = 1
   ENDIF
   IF (real(p3) == 0)
      p3 = p3 + (10000,0)
   ENDIF
   IF (imag(p3) == 0)
      p3 = p3 + (0,10)
   ENDIF
   choice = iterexp = 0:
   choice = (choice == 0)
   IF (choice == 0)
      zc = p2*(zc*zc + c)
      iterexp = iterexp + exp(-cabs(zc))
   ELSE
      z1 = exp(zc)
      z2 = sin(zc) + z1 - 1
      zc = zc - p1*z2/(cos(zc) + z1)
   ENDIF
   IF (|zc| > real(p3))
      smooth = iterexp*imag(p3)*pi/128
      ang = cos(smooth)+flip(sin(smooth))
      z = 256*ang
   ENDIF
   |zc| <= real(p3)
}

I think they continue to exist...
They have existed, and always will exist, quite independently of being
perceived.

They exist ephemerally and imperfectly when perceived.
But they POTENTIALLY exist, perfectly! (always have, and always shall).
It's rather analogous to the existence of 'potential energy.'
One should argue in a similar manner for the independent existence of ALL
mathematical 'objects.'

My little thought for the day.

Subject: (fractint) Simply Elegant and a question


In a recent newsletter, I learned something interesting.

"That under orthodox Jewish law, the word "God" cannot be destroyed.
You can't, for example, throw away a piece of paper with the word
God on it--instead you have to ritually bury it or arrange for its
storage. The inevitable question arose over what to do when computers
are
involved: can you erase the word from a word processing document or from
some other digital form?

Last week, one of the leading orthodox rabbis, Rabbi Moshe Shaul Klein,
decided that it was OK to erase or delete digital versions of the word
"God," because they did not contain the actual word, but a composition
of 1s and 0s. If everything is binary underneath, the rabbi reasoned,
then even the word "God" is not actually G-o-d but a series of
numbers."--Alice Hill

Okay, so if everything is binary, including fractals, I guess that means
that they don't really exist. Just a bunch of 1's and 0's.  But we all
know that fractals exist, since we spend a lot of time creating them and
coloring them. :)  Now my questions is--when did fractals first exist?
With the invention of the computer, or did they exist but we were unable
to perceive them? Jim Muth asked where do fractals go when the power
fails. Do they continue to exist or is it really our power of perception
that is lost with the loss of electricity? If they exist only while on
the screen, are we guilty of murder every time we change screens?

Sorry about my rambling, but it has been too long since Jim has had a
good philosophical post. To make up for my rambling, here is a PAR.
Instead of seeking infinite detail and a fancy coloring algorithms, this
one is "Simply Elegant."
