Subject: (fractint) Mandel_Lake pars

Hello list,

I've been playing with the formula Sylvie Gallet posted recently wich I
thought was very nice.
Here are some sample pars, please feel free to comment.


Greetings,

Ton

Very nice, specially the last one (0022501). In my next

also use this impressive feature.

FOTD -- March 03, 2000  (Rating 5)

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

It's been another busy day here at Fractal Central, which serves
other purposes during the daylight hours.  Having so much work
that pays, I had little time for hunting fractals, which does
not pay.  But with the aid of my faithful fractal companion
MandelbrotMix4, I did manage to find a fractal.  The fractal may
not be the best of all time, but it is still good enough to pass
for FOTD for 03-03-00.

The fractal picture that resulted from my hurried efforts was
named "A Work of Lace".  The lace-like filaments surrounding the
central midget inspired the name.  These filaments, not
surprisingly, are fractal in themselves.  The deeper one zooms
into them, the more they sub-divide.  Like everything in the
land of fractals, this sub-division continues to infinity.

The image was created by bringing up the M-Mix4 formula and
adding a tiny bit of Z^(-2) to Z^5.  The parameter file
completes in a relatively speedy 1-1/2 minutes.  If this is
still too long to wait, the image file has been posted in GIF
format to:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and to:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

I chose GIF format for today's fractal because when I JPEG'd the
image, it suffered too much deterioration.  I'll return to the
standard JPEG format tomorrow.

The fractal weather was March-like today, as blustery winds made
the temperature of 54F (12C) feel a lot colder than it actually
was.  Of course, any high wind keeps the fractal cats indoors,
snug by their radiator.

There was simply no time for deep fractal-philosophy thought
today.  I'll give it another try tomorrow.  Until then, take
care, and the only thing better than a fractal is a second
fractal.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD, 04-03-00 (Only a Sideshow [4]) (c)

FOTD -- March 04, 2000  (Rating 4)

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

I've named today's fractal "Only a Sideshow".  I gave it this
name because I stumbled upon it while on the spoor of another
scene.  Since today's image rated a modest 4, and I had no
assurance that the scene I was hunting would be any better, I
declared the accidental discovery Fractal of the Day.  The main
event may of may not ever appear.

The formula behind the picture adds a tiny bit of 1/Z to a lot
of Z.  This is another of those combinations that would not be
expected to produce anything of interest.  But as is so often
the case, fractals are surprising.

There are two ways to view the surprise -- the long hard way and
the short easy way.  The long hard way is to run the attached
parameter file and wait 25 minutes.  The short easy way is to
retrieve the JPEG image file found on Usenet at:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and on the Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

Of course, choosing the short easy method deprives you of the
embedded data.

The fractal weather was sunny but quite March-like today, with
brisk breezes and a temperature of 54F (12C).  The combination
held the fractal cats to only a brief trip out of doors.

The time I found to ponder philosophy was briefer than even the
cats' outing.  In fact, it was so close to zero as to be
insignificant.  But hope springs eternal, and I'll try again
tomorrow.  Until then, take care, and after all these years we
still don't know exactly what a fractal is.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD, 05-03-00 (Sea-Ice [5]) (c)

FOTD -- March 05, 2000

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

Today's fractal scene is part of the overall fractal that
results when Z^0.75 is subtracted from 0.01*(Z^(-99)) before
adding C.  I have named the picture "Sea-Ice" because an earlier
version was colored to resemble an expanse of broken ice floes.
The icy blue colors have been replaced by an electric violet
scheme, but the name has remained the same.

The image is composed of those broken, loose-floating fragments
of fractal material that characterize most formulae which
include negative powers of Z.  As the 7-1/2 minutes required to
run the parameter file is a bit long for comfort, I suggesting
downloading the JPEG image file from:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

or from:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The fractal weather today was once again notably average, though
a bit milder than yesterday.  The temperature of 56F (13.5C) was
close to, but not quite at a temperature warm enough for the
fractal cats to enjoy themselves outdoors.

For now, I notice that the cats are hungry and the hour is late.
My best action is to call it a night and shut down Fractal
Central.  Until next time, take care, and be kind to your
fractals and they'll be kind to you.

FOTD -- March 06, 2000  (Rating 6)

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

Standing in as FOTD for March 6 we have a shlubbered midget.  If
you have no idea what a shlubbered midget is, either launch the
attached parameter file and wait 15 minutes, or download the
pre-calculated image file from Usenet at:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

or from the web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and see the image in a matter of seconds.

I have named the picture "Shlubbered Midget" purely as a
description, for surely no midget has ever been so thoroughly
shlubbered, (whatever that means).  The formula behind the
mayhem is Z^0.7071-2Z^(-1.4142))+C, which is totally whimsical.

The image is all inside=fmod, the outside features having long
since evaporated with the rising escape radius.  The color
palette is a slightly modified version of the Shift-F1 palette
built into Fractint.  All the <shift> palettes work well with
the inside=fmod option, bringing out the full blobbiness of the
bubbles this fill creates.

The fractal weather today featured brilliant sunshine and a
temperature of 66F (19C), which was just mild enough to keep the
fractal cats happy.

With such perfect weather to enjoy, I spent most of the day
getting caught up in yard work.  This left little time for deep
philosophical pondering.  What little pondering I did involved
the possibility that life can be expressed as a fractal.  If we
could find the formula that accurately describes the past and
present, what would happen if we let that formula continue
running?  Would it predict the future?  I came to no conclusion
this afternoon, but the possibility is worth consideration.

I now must consider the hour.  It's 11:45pm, which is already
past the time to shut down the fractal shoppe and call it a
night.  Until next time, take care, and see you in 24 hours.

FOTD -- March 07, 2000  (Rating 6

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

Today's fractal appears about ready to go down the drain.  The
little midget in the center reminds me so much of the drain in
the wash basin that I couldn't resist but naming the picture
"Midget in a Tile Bowl".

The expression that was calculated by the MandelbrotMix4 formula
to produce the image is Z^(0.9)+Z^(-1.9)+C.  The escape radius
of 17.5 (100-82.5) is critical.  A lesser bailout eliminates the
edge detail; a greater bailout breaks the image down into
scattered bits and pieces.  The image then requires an inside
fill of something like bof60 to reveal the midget.  It also
takes almost forever to run.

The parameter file is a slow one, which drags along for nearly
an hour on a Pentium 200mhz.  Relief may be found on Usenet at:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and on the Worldwide Web at Paul lee's web site at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

in the form of the JPEG'd image file.  All wise fractalists will
pick up the image from one of these sites and save the parameter
file for reference only.

The fractal weather today was sunny, but not so warm as
yesterday, the temperature of 57F (14C) being just a bit too
chilly for the intrepid duo of fractal cats.

As for now, the cats are getting hungry and I'm getting tired.
Until next time, take care, and wash your troubles down the
fractal drain.

Subject: (fractint) Change to Iterates.TGA at Frain200?

Hello folks,

I'm going to try to avoid bothering Tim directly, and post my question here
first.  A while back I wrote a little program called Deeper (link below) that
uses the targa file ITERATES.TGA.  This is the file Fractint produces when the
command truecolor=yes is used.  In order to read the file, I need to know the
binary structure of the file, and apparently, that has changed since Frain196...
it looks like the header might be the same, but I'm getting gobbeltygook when I
try to retrieve and concatenate iteration values.

My question is, can anyone point to or send documentation or code describing how
the iteration values are being stored in the ITERATES.TGA file at Frain200?  I
realize this is probably a better question for the developer list, but I thought
I'd try here first.

And to those who were wondering, in case it wasn't sufficiently clear already:
Deeper does not work with Frain200.  Use version 19.6 until I get this fixed.
Many thanks,

Splendid images. I especially like 00020801 - great colours, giving a
sort of "metallic" feel to the image. Looks great rendered at 1600x1200

Subject: (fractint) FOTD, 08-03-00 (Minibrot Survival [7]) (c)

FOTD -- March 08, 2000  (Rating 7)

Fractal enthusiasts and visionaries:

A Minibrot midget is a delicate thing, especially when the
generating formula contains a negative power of Z.  In this
situation, the scene containing the midget can be 'evaporated'
by raising the bailout radius.  Not all midgets in fractals with
negative exponents in their generating formulae are vulnerable
to evaporation, but the midget in yesterday's FOTD is one of the
vulnerable ones.  As the bailout is increased, the scene breaks
down into discrete elements, the elements gradually shrink, and
finally vanish altogether, leaving a most boring solid black
screen of trapped points.  But an invisible ghost still haunts
the scene.

Today's fractal is the ghost of yesterday's fractal, made
visible by applying an inside fill of bof61 to the blank black
screen that was left behind when the midget expired.  Traces of
the original scene are still visible forming circles around the
midget, but in addition we now have spectacular multi-colored
wedges radiating from the midget and overlapping the circular
remains of the tile-like features that appeared in yesterday's
FOTD.  I named today's FOTD image "Minibrot Survival" because it
is a picture of a Minibrot that has survived its own death.

With this particular fractal, the inside=bof60 option brings out
the best detail.  With other images consisting of only trapped
points, bof60 brings out the best detail, and with still others
fmod or one of the other inside fill options works best.  The
only way to know for sure which inside fill will draw the best
image is to try them all at thumbnail size.

Since today's image is all inside, the parameter file is a slow
one.  Run it and wait if you so decide, but a far better way to
view the picture is to go to the Usenet binary newsgroup:

          <alt.binaries.pictures.fractals>

and download the JPEG format image file from there.

The image may also be found on the WWW at Paul Lee's web site at
the following URL:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

The all-unimportant weather report for today, (which is actually
March 07, since the FOTD is dated one day in advance), is as
follows -- hazy sunshine with a south wind and a temperature of
70F (21C) -- perfect conditions for cats to lie in the sun.

I see that it's past the time to shut down the fractal shoppe,
give the fractal cats their evening snack, and call it another
day.  I'll return tomorrow with another fractal to delight and
amaze.  Until then, take care, and remember that life is just
one big fractal.
