Subject: (fractint) Updated Gallery

Hi all,

Well, I've been working on updated my online gallery for a couple weeks
now.  Finally, got the images in place.  No fancy HTML yet, just don't
want to take the time to figure that out.

Anyway, Gallery 1 is the same that was there before, but thumbnails
only.  Galleries 2, 3, and 4 are selected images from July/August,
September, and October.  I'll add a page for Contest Entries later.

Comments are welcome, though I fear my images pale in comparison to the
awesome images from Mark, Paul, and Gedeon on their recently updated
galleries.

Enjoy.


Ken...

Subject: (fractint) Gallery Address

Hi,

Gee, I suppose if I want people to look at my gallery, I'd better give
the address.

Have you tried increasing the maximum iteration number?

Just a suggestion,

Great page, Ken!  I particularly like KCC99100508.jpg.  And the colors
in KCC99100401 are yummy!

And of course, you already know how much I like your blue and gold
images.

Thanks, Ken, for the gift of viewing your images!

Subject: (fractint) Need Opinions

I was playing with Gedeon's formulas today at work...(at lunch...at lunch!!...sure
sure)....boy are they great!!!!!! I got at least 3 winners for my springtime gallery
(which I won't share just cause this poor list is going into overload and I feel
sorry for Jan)....

However....I can't make up my mind about the following image.  Do you like it better
with or without the top mask layer????  I learned how to do the shape masking from
Ralph....thanks again, Ralph.  I was very puzzled about how to mask out areas until I
saw your wood thing.....man that is one great image.  Anyhoo......

My opinion:  with the top mask layer.

But you may wish to post this to the UltraFractal List instead.   ;-}

Subject: (fractint) Parser bug

Folks, the following PAR exposes a bug in the Fractint's fats
parser. Try it with and without the debug=90 command line option.
(That option disables the fast assembler and causes the slower C
code to be used.)

Are there any other parser bugs anyone knows of that were
introduced in V. 20?

I know how to fix this particular problem, but I am investigating
better fixes.

Subject: (fractint) fractint & dosemu

Hi!

I am running Linux as my primary OS quite for a while now and the only
thing I was missing was Fractint. Not xfractint, but the only true
fractint... with colors and without X windows.
Well, I was SURE all the time that Fractint doesn't run under dosemu very
well, so I was very happy when I discovered that V20.0 runs perfectly
under it (it's a rather slow, but anyway).

There is only one small problem: I can't get my sound card (Yamaha
OPL3-SA2) to work (it works if I boot DOS). Does anyone have experience
with things like that?

Best regards,
Andrej Lajovic

Subject: (fractint) xFractInt Problems

Thursday, 11 November 1999

Hello all,

    xFractInt runs fine on my Linux machine until I try to choose a
video type. Then it crashes with a segmentation fault. (No, I haven't done
strace.) I use both Enlightenment and GNOME, and run xFractInt from a
terminal. Did I miss something in the docs about _not_ doing this?

The following may or may not have relevance to your problem.  Judge for
yourself.  I cannot run Fractint20 under Windows95.  But it does work fine
when I boot to DOS.  However, that still doesn't allow the sound pars to
work.  In order to get the sound pars to work I did this:
    Write a batch file to change to your Fractint directory and start
Fractint.  Include the sound settings from your Autoexec.bat (or equivalent)
in this batch file.
    Now when I invoke this batch file at the command prompt Fractint starts
and I can run both visual and sound pars smootly.
    Simply setting the sound card parameters from the DOS prompt did not
work.  Only after I created the above batch file and invoked it did
everything work the way it should.

Like this:

CD \FRACTINT
SET BLASTER=A220
FRACTINT

sort ot thing :-)

It this might work with dosemu, but you may have to run it as root to
allow fractint access to the hardware.

Cheers,

No, you didn't miss something in the docs about video modes in xfractint.=

Xfractint doesn't have any video modes similar to the DOS-based fractint.

For more info and hints on using xfractint under Linux, please see my pag=
e at:
http://www.fastlane.net/~sdboyd/xfractint.html . It's still based on the
slightly older version of xfractint - v3.04, since I can't get v3.10 to c=
ompile
correctly. Yes,I'm the guy that posted the message seeking a binary
(already-compiled) version of xfractint 3.10. Jay - can you help me out?

Having some problems with the fractint list, this text is sent to the list

days ago in this list : it did not come back to me.
- ---------------------------

My web site was sleeping since a long time. I have added 24 images made with
Terry W. Gintz's programs (pages 24 and 25). Moreover I have drawn again and
antialiased my Fractint images.

Please note that only my "mirror" site is updated, the main site hosted at
"graffiti" may change its address soon because the hard disk is full and the
computer is more and more used for other purposes.
Bookmark this address :

I have not carefully checked all the pages after the transfer. If you see
something wrong, let me informed.

I hope that the main site will be on an other server soon and will be
updated at that time (because www-hs has many different functions).

I've not yet compiled xfract 3.10 for my linux box.  Unfortunately my
hardware is a Sparc 10, so I doubt I'll be of any use.

But!  If I do run into problems, I'll post the solutions to this list..

Subject: (fractint) spacebar toggle for formula types

OK, I tried to do this on my own, but I'm not there yet.
I have searched throught fractint.doc and frmtutor.txt
(in the v20.0 documentation), have found only two
references to the ismand paramater, and nothing on
its usage.

The data must be there somewhere; can someone provide
guidance?  I could really use this new feature.


TIA, Bud

Subject: (fractint) toggle for formula types (2)

I found fract200.frm and fract200.par and have tried to emulate
what's there, but the toggle doesn't work right.  Specifically, it
zeroes out p1, even though I use p2 as my alternate initial
value for c.  The cursor also fails to appear.

Because I know that any serious troubleshooting requires more
data, here are the par and frm in question:

frm: gravibrot { ; generalized r^(-2) by Mark "Bud" Christenson 3/13/98
; derived from gravijul, modified for v20.0 spacebar toggle 11/14/99
; defaults: p1 = (1,0) p2 = (0,0) p3 = (4,0)
if (ismand)
  z = p2, c = pixel
else
  z = pixel, c = p2
endif
:
   w = fn1(z)
   z = fn3(p1/fn2(w*w)) + c
   |z| < p3
  }

gb2u               { ; - (c) Bud 7/21/99
  reset=2000 type=formula formulafile=budz.frm formulaname=gravibrot

  X<4>qjSoiRmgQkeP<23>KK0
  }

My guess is that the toggle forces (x,y) -> p1
(although this doesn't explain the absence of the cursor).
If this is the case, is there any way to work around this
so I don't have to edit all of my saved pars?  I have
considered shuffling my initial p1 into a temporary variable,
but suspect that once ismand is set to zero the data is
already overwritten.


Thanks, Bud

  The example in fract200.par works fine.  The toggle works only with p1 =
so
you've got to use p1 as your alternate initial value for c.

Thanks, Sylvie.  Can you or anyone else respond to the
second issue, which was buried at the bottom of my message?
