Subject: (fractint) Gravity formulas and pars

I was attempting to re-create an image I did several years ago, when
I was in the habit of not keeping parameter files.  I managed to rebuild
the formula, but the exact image is still eluding me.  Until I find it,
I offer these 2, along with their formulas.

The formulas are loosely baseed on a satellite in orbit around a planet
or a star.  Z represents the orbit's radius, and dt2 represents the time
step.  Making z close to 1 and keeping dt2 small will keep the satellite
in "orbit" longer (delaying bailout).  In the "gravity-dt2=pix" formula,
the time step is assigned to the pixel value and the initial z value is
input.  in the "gravity-z=pix" formula, the initial z value is assigned
to the pixel, and dt2 is input.

Subject: (fractint) one gravijul par, two images

I was hunting around the popular gravijul fractal late last night looking
for a flower to give to my girlfriend when I stummbled upon this one. I
usualy only modify fractals with a paint program once in a blue moon but
this one for some reason just screamed at me to be modified. So I have
included the original par as well as links to the orignal fractal and the
modified fractal.
Tell me what you think!

Subject: (fractint) Prime Numbers

For years Mathematitians have been trying to decypher the pattern of
Prime Numbers. As far as I know, they still haven't managed to do it
yet.

I have a vague idea that this pattern might be fractal (or at lease
self-similar). If it's true, it could certainly explane why no one
has yet solved the puzzle.

The reason for my idea comes from a sieving optimization I came up
with. Start with a list of numbers, then cross off all the even ones.
Now every other number is potentially prime (the odd numbers). Now we
go to remove the multibles of 3, but every other one is already gone.
Still, after removing the multibles of 3, we are left with so-called
"twin Primes", which have the pattern 101000 101000 101000...
Now, we go to remove the multibles of 5, but some of them are already
gone, in the pattern 101000 101000... Self simular? Or just my simple
mind getting confused?

By the way, after removing the multibles of 5, the pattern stands at
100000100010100010100010000010 100000100010100010100010000010

If anyone has a different interpretation, I'd love to hear it!

P. S. Has anyone else heard about the computer scientists reportedly
using Chaos Theroy to create "Chaotic Lasers" that increase to
bandwidth of fiber-optic cables? Far out!

Subject: (fractint) Fractint and ELSA GLoria Synergy card?

I got an ELSA GLoria Synergy display adaptor (8MB SGRAM,
hardware 2D and 3D acceleration, video-in/video-out
capability). My desktops (OS/2 and W95) are running
1024x768 true color, the card can go up to 1920x1200x256
colors. But when I run the VESA2CFG utility, the max
resolution it reports is 640x480x256. Trying to select
1024x768x256 gives me the message that this video mode
isn't available.

Anyone else using this card and figured out how to make
it work with Fractint? Thanks ...

David,

It's entirely possible your card's BIOS doesn't support higher resolutions
in VESA modes. With the decline of DOS, VESA support in video BIOSes is
becoming unimportant...

Subject: (fractint) Area of fractals?

Does anyone know a reliable approximation of the area of the Mandlebrot
set?   How about an exact number, or in terms of constants?
Did you Know?
- ------If you let the test term for the Mandl. be z there is a polynomial
approximation given by z+z^2+2z^3+5z^4+14z^5+42z^6..., and this is
remarkingly similar to a Taylor/MacLauren Series, so I tried to find a
funtion that would lead to this result.
f(0)=0
f'(0)=1
f"(0)=2
f(3)(0)=12
f(4)(0)=120
.
.
.
f(n)(0)=2^(n-1)* (the product of the first n-2 odds).

this  leads to:
f(0)=0
f'(0)=1, f(n)(0)=(4n-6)f(n-1)(0).

Anyone know where to go from here?
Just wondering.

Thanks. Sounds like I need to check the ELSA support
site and see what VESA capabilities it has. The only
mention of it in the manual is in connection with
supporting DDC1 and DDC2 for communicating with monitors.

For now, I guess I explore at 640x480, then render big
images to disk/video (goes very fast when you tell the
DOS session that it has a huge amount of extended memory
- - able to do that under OS/2, don't know about W95).

Nowhere. You'll never find a function with these derivatives, because if
you did, you'd have found a function whose Taylor series about 0 has a zone
of convergence shaped rather differently than a circle, which can't happen
according to a theorem in calculus.

Guess I'll have to try it out. Under our old Diamond

Subject: (fractint) fractals in modern art

Hi friends.
As I want to share my and my pupils' (primary school!) fascination for
fractals with other teachers I have been asked to point out the significance
of this "method" for modern art.
So, does anyone know renown modern artists using fractals for fine or
commercial art, galeries showing plots, and the like? Maybe URLs?
Thanks a lot, I myself surely need no justification, all your astonishing
pictures are prooving aesthetic value enough, but to talk to teachers of art I
have to draw on an outside base.
As Sylvie says: Cheers.

These are the artists, and from your educational background you should be able to
tell why.  As to defending your opinion,  just make sure you know it.  Some of
these artists have developed definite styles.  It's obvious to me though I am a
musician.

Cheerfully,
Robyn (also physic/math major)

Subject: (fractint) IFS Question

Hello,

I am looking for a program that can generate IFS images which
will allow various starting "points", i.e., begin with a square
and generate the fern, or begin with a point and generate the
fern, etc.  It is for a lecture on the contraction mapping principle,
and I would like the audience to see the square, point,etc
converging to illustrate the ideas behind IFS.

Is this type of feature available on fractint, or some other
program? Preferrably such a program would run on Linux, but a
Windows program would be ok too.

Any help is appreciated,

Jon

Thanks! For the record, a major exhibition of Les St. Clair's
fractals has recently been installed at MOCA. And a long-standing Sylvie
Gallet gallery remains. There is also some early fractal work
by Lee Skinner and others.

the famous "Nami (Wave)" painting (don't know the artist) is an excellent=

Subject: (fractint) par and question

Hi fellow fractint afficiados
Here is a par that I like accompanied by a question or two

black_hole         { ; Tom Conally, 1999, fractint
                     ; t=0:0:15.87 586

  }

I did this with video mode SF7.  I manipulated the colormap and saved the
par. Now if I go back and run it in a different video mode, such as SF8, I
get a very different color map-many fewer colors. Is this inherent in
fractint? Do I need to save the colormap separately? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help in advance.
