- Short: 3.0/AGA WB/PubScreen Fractal program
- Uploader: tkreuzer@delphi.com
- Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com
-
-
- Features
- --------
-
- Opens on the default public screen (initially the Workbench)
-
- Usable on any screen with at least 2 "free" pens
-
- Avoids usage of all pens already "obtained" upon program start
- (i.e., AmigaDOS 3.0 "Protected Pen" compliant)
-
- Separate user interface and drawing windows
-
- Resizable drawing window with point-and-click Zoom-In and
- centering functions
-
- Adjustable Zoom-Out function
-
- Contents of drawing window can be saved to a standard IFF/ILBM file
-
- Full GadTools Intuition interface
-
- Supports the following types of fractals:
-
- - Mandelbrot
- - Julia Set
- - Magnetism
- - Lambda Exponential
- - Lambda Cosine
- - Biomorph
- - Plasma
-
- All math done in double precision floating point
-
- Separate versions for:
-
- - 68020 without FPU (stock A1200 and A4000/030)
- - 68020 with FPU (improved A1200 and A4000/030)
- - 68040 (stock A4000/040)
-
- "Smart" iconify function
-
- Help text (displayed on screen banner) for the Zoom In and Center
- actions
-
- Recommended for use with my PaletteTool and PST programs(!)
-
- Tested OK using the Enforcer
-
-
- Limitations
- -----------
-
- Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)
-
- Requires AmigaDOS 3.0+ and the AGA chipset
-
- FPU (68881/68882) highly recommended for maximum enjoyment!
-
- Designed for use with higher-resolution screen modes (640x400 and
- higher). Note that this does NOT mean the program will not work
- on lower-resolution screens. What it DOES mean is that you may
- find the programs windows take up a lot of screen "real estate"
- on lower-resolution screens
-
- For some reason, the program leaves 104 bytes allocated when it
- terminates. I have been unable to ascertain exactly where this
- memory is not being freed
