- └╩══╧╩┘ Version 1.0 └╩ ╩┘ (C) Tom Schumm
-
- Thank you for using Julia Morph, a quick and dirty little program by
- Phong, AKA Tom Schumm. While this isn't a spectacular program, I would
- appreciate any comments (or donations) that you could give me.
-
- If you understand fractals, you probably know that Julia fractals with
- parameters near one another, tend to look more alike than those with
- significantly different constants. This little program will generate a
- batch file with the parameters for a specified number of julia sets with
- constants at regular intervals between two input sets. Run this fractint
- batch file to create the necessary images for an animation of the two Julia
- sets "morphing" into each other.
-
- If you want to morph from one to another to another, and so forth,
- generate multiple batch files and splice them together like this:
-
- copy batfile1.bat+batfile2.bat+batfile3.bat... bigbat.bat
-
- Then you just have to go through and delete the duplicate lines
- (endpoints between the files). Or, you could just delete the last line of
- all the files except the last one before you combine them.
-
- Use of the program is simple. Just enter the parameters asked for, the
- number of frames, any additional fractint parameters you want in the
- batch file (video mode, color map, drawing method, etc.), and the name of
- the batch file you want to create. It puts on the extension for you. It
- doesn't check to see if there is already a batch file with that name, and
- just writes it. Now you just need a utility to put all the images into a
- .fli.
-
- I cannot be held responsible if something goes wrong and the program
- pukes on you (should only happen if you mess up), or causes damage (I have
- no idea how it could). This file my be freely distributed if it is not
- modified in any way, and this doc file is included with the executable. I
- would, however, appreciate any donations so that I could produce more
- programs (most of the programs I have released, and am working on are much
- cooler than this quick ditty). I can't guarantee that I can give you free
- upgrades (unless it is a big donation ;) ), but you won't have to feel
- guilty if you download a newer version and then don't pay (unless it has
- huge improvements ;) ).
