Sorry if you got it twice. Hello all, This is my first post to this list, though I've been lurking for a few months. The introduction to the list said that this was the place to wax eloquent about other fractal software (among other things) and so far none has done *that*, so here goes... Wlplot - Wesley Loewer available at http://archives.math.utk.edu A dos based collection of many small graphing programs connected by a meny.Simple, fast and really nifty at times (polar and recursive functions). BTW the author is thankful to the Stone Soup group for the Mandel speedups. Euler - Rene Grothmann at http://mathsrv.ku-eichstaett.de/MGF/homes/grothmann The features are in direct proportion to the number of disclaimers that the author puts out (following in the finest GNU tradition!). Only 3d Mandelbrot set with potential lines and Julias in the way of fractals, but you can program your own. A sample recursive flower is included (yes I know you did that when you were twelve but just thought I'd mention it). And now, last but not the least {:-> Fractint. May light eternal shine upon the progammers (with a litle more wattage for developers of the formula parser). In fact you could cut out nearly all the other features except that and the evolver and still have a great program. Enough said. Good bye for now.

I am so far behind on my messaging that I'm embarrased, but I will try = to start getting caught up. I no longer do any fractint midi files, as I find the = native sounds to be more interesting and fun to use, = especially with ver.20. But I will be happy to describe my basic methods, although I have unfortunately lost = (unreadable backup tape) my programs that I wrote for the purpose of producing the midi files. = As you have noted, using the option will generate a .txt file which contains information on on the numberic value that is sent to the pc speaker for each orbit point generated. It also records a time value = at the end of each new pixel being calculated. It = takes the form of: 768 1606 979 -420 time=3D113640 230 1961 time=3D115990 ... One note if using this option...beware! this file can get very large, very fast. If one has a high maxiter there can be more than a million lines generated *per pixel*. I used this information to convert the raw numbers to values = which meshed with midi info. For my purposes, I called midi note value "0" C-1 and note value "127" G9. (Some would do it differently ie. "0" =3D C-2...there seems to be a lack of agreement). So "Middle A" - the "A" above "Middle C" has a hz value of 440 and a midi note value of 69. So I converted the note values in the sound.txt file to midi note = info by rounding the raw numbers to the nearest midi note hz value, calling notes above or below legal limits "silent notes". I also had to change the time value to a midi recognizable form, as = well as add in some non-fractint supplied info that is needed by the key to this whole process...a neat freeware program called = MF2T.EXE. This does the converting of .txt files to .mid files, and = visa-versa. I took an existing midi file, ran it through MF2T and learned what it was looking for in the txt file...added that info = to my txt files, and ran the companion T2MF and got a usable .mid file, which could then be manipulated with standard midi programs. I am quite rusty in the specifics, as it has been three years since last playing with this technique. I did produce a CD "The Sounds of Chaos" and would be happy to give info via private email. Hope that this helps give you a start, if you are so inclined. = Bill Subject: (fractint) Metaverse Portal Date: 03 Nov 1999 14:35:05 -0600 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0002_01BF2608.DF4FB540 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit For the last year we've been in the process of creating a 3-D site. The site is more than just another 3-D site because it is also multiuser enabled. What this means is that you will be able to see the other people's avatar walking around taking a look or interacting with the virtual environment. You can chat as well. Later on you will be able to do things like exchange files or bring in or leave objects for other people to pick up or see. The server and client software used to accomplish this is open source. We want to facilitate the building of the metaverse (not just Metaverse Portal). You might be wondering why I'm posting this to the Fractint list server. Well the short answer is that I was exposed to Fractint and the Stone Soup Group before the creation of the Web. The Fractint community helped me get my first publishing deal and my first Pentium computer ($4500 P90 :-). It has helped shape my way of thinking and developing software and business models. I understand the power of open source and community efforts. That's why the Fractint community is the first thing that comes to my mind in regards to what e-commerce things my company should implement first. Being a graphics, music, and virtual reality artist, I truly respect and want to help other artists and content developers. So here goes some details: 1) the site uses VRML and Java - any VRML browser will work 2) the first component of the site that we will make available to the public is a space with fractal art galleries. 3) there is currently a large building for the fractal gallery, a building for a mandelbrot showcase, and a building for a feature artist 4) I would like to stock the fractal gallery with artwork from the previous fractal contests 5) we are going to provide limited server access so that authorized artists can upload their latest work and have it automatically updated it within the virtual reality space(s). 6) we will provide forums and space for downloads (EXEs, DOCs, ect) for the related VR space(s) 7) we are implementing e-commerce for the sales of posters (and other things later) 8) we will handle all printing and shipping of artwork 9) we will pay a higher than normal royalty rate 10) we will display artwork that the fractal community wants displayed - not simply what we decide here at Beyond VR 11) we are going to primarily sell photographic prints over the web - the prints that have the most sales will go into mass production 12) thanks to ParallelGraphics, we will be able to stream in RealAudio and RealVideo into the VR space(s) NO I'M NOT STUPID.... WE WILL GET THE PROPER AUTHORIZATION BEFORE WE MAKE ANY PRINT AVAILABLE FOR SALE Prints that go into mass production will be sold through traditional distributor channels (malls, franchises, headshops, ect). What will be different however, is in the fact that we plan on running the smallest mass production runs possible (3000 - 5000). Once a design is gone we do not plan on continuing to offer it except as the high-quality photographic prints. This is to help drive collector interest. The fractal space is just the tip of what we plan on offering at Metaverse Portal. But it's the first thing we are doing. If any of you want to check it out before it's available to the general public, here is a back door www.metaverse-portal.com/fractal The bare bones are there, so you can get a feel for what I'm talking about. ALL feedback is extremly welcome (and encouraged ;-) ..... yes it will be spiffed up considerably... we're focusing on functionality right now If you don't have a VRML browser download one here http://www.parallelgraphics.com If you already have one, it will work. CosmoPlayer is beautiful and what the site was designed to work best with but unfortunately CosmoSoftware is no longer in existence (NO TECH SUPPORT). We recommend you download Cortona from ParallelGraphics (it has surpassed CosmoPlayer's abilities anyway). They are working with us to get a few remaining bugs out so that we can implement the multiuser features (the bugs are only in relation to that - not any problems with Cortona displaying stuff). When those bugs are taking care of we will turn on the multiuser capability of the site. Everything will be optimised for their browser in the VERY near term so I highly recommend using it. It will also allow you to do some interesting things that will be announced soon. Jon Meadows Beyond VR jon@metaverse-portal.com ps - here's a little story: once upon a time there was this guy with a 25MHZto SX 486. He learned about fractals and thought "these.....are.....cool". Being a photographer and computer graphics fanatic, he thought "hmmm...these would make excellent posters or postcards". So that 25MHZ-SX chugged for two weeks to generate the 4096x4096 res newton. "Beware of the 2 year old boy", he warned the 25MHZ-SX with no keybord lock ,"a keyborad lock won't help you...he keeps finding the hammer after I hide it" Two spankings later, the computer had made all the peices necessary. Swap file?? Well, we'll just unload Windows3.1. That'll leave enough space. Stitch, stitch, stitch says PicLab. It sold 40,000 copies and was on the market for 4 years....

Jones" Subject: Re: (fractint) Best fractal program for various things Date: 02 Nov 1999 21:12:04 -0500 Michael, A belated reply as I'm trying to get net access from my new home in Orlando... - Thanks an awfull lot for this great and inspiring work you did with this - contest /these contests by now. Well it has been a lot of work, certainly... and definitely a lot learned. But what made it great was the variety of submissions and the number of other people who volunteered their time and effort to make the contest work. Not everything went smoothly, but hopefully it's been a net plus for the fractal community. - Is there any simple listing which fractal program is best suited for - what? I only use fractint and haven't discovered half of it, I guess - (RTFM, I know). No, there really isn't such a listing, because sometimes it just boils down to a matter of preference. The following should be taking as an exhaustive list of plusses and minuses. :-) FractInt's strengths are its versatility ("escape-time" fractals, IFSs, L-systems, strange attractors, 3D transformations, even cellular automota), its extensive user-written formula collection (OrgFrm), its comprehensive online help, its price (free), and that the source code is available. Its limitations are no real true color support and its DOS interface, two things that are being worked on. It is faster than many programs, too. Tiera-Zon, Flarium, GrafZViZion, SterlingWare, etc. (maybe we should just call them the Ferguson programs) are also free, with source code available. Their strengths are true-color support, a wide array of coloring options, and in some of the programs, images that are almost impossible to produce with other software. Almost all of the programs run in Windows. Their weaknesses are little documentation and tricky color control. Ultra Fractal's strengths are its true-color support, its ability to read many FractInt PAR files and most formula files, its large collection of its own formulas, the ability to do layering, its speed (faster than most everything else), and its organized Windows interface. Its major drawbacks are that the source code to the main program is not available (although the code for all the fractal formulas *is*) and that it is not free (it is a $35 Shareware product). Fractal eXtreme's strengths are its speed (fastest fractal generator around), its Windows interface, and its plug-in architecture that allows additional fast fractal code to be added by any programmer. Its weaknesses are that its source code is not available, that it is not free (it is a $35 Shareware product), and that it is limited to 256-color images. Terry Gintz's software bears mentioning as well. Dofo-Zon uses a plug-in architecture that shares many common modules with Steve Ferguson's programs. It reads FractInt PARs and FRMs, and has extensive support for hypercomplex and quaternion fractal types, which are often neglected in other programs. It is free. FraxFlame, FraxPlorer, and Frax4D (I think I got those right) are part of Kai's Power Tools 5, a set of plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop. These are true-color modules that produce some very unique images. They only work as plug-ins, though, which means you need a graphics package capable of using them. (Photoshop, Painter, Picture Publisher, Paint Shop Pro, and Photo-Paint can all do this.) None of those are free, however, and KPT5 itself lists for $199. FraxFlame is based on the flame fractals of Scott Draves, and a free Windows version has been done by Michael Sargent. There are probably others I missed, but these are the main ones. :-) Damien M.

Congratulations and many thanks to those who worked on the latest version, with its improvements. Wild. I'm trying to play with some huge-size disk-video modes, by altering un-needed settings in fractint.cfg. The very first time I tried this and then attempted to render a large-order dragon curve at 32,000 x 24,000, it seemed to have worked, according to the box which informed me the image was being rendered. Every subsequent time, however, right after the message about clearing the "space", it hung up and I needed to re-start my machine. I usually use SF7, if that's any help. Below are the changed settings from my .cfg. (I also defragged my hard drive, and there's at least 150 MB free.) Any suggestions please?

I have tried the following: Moving Fractint to my much larger D drive and defragging it right before I start. Experimenting with some larger disk-video modes to render the default Mandelbrot - just fine at 2.8 x 2.1k and 4 x 3k in 256 colours, confirmed in Photoshop. Trying another Lsystem, Hilbert, as well as the rounded Dragon Curve, in the smaller of these modes - the display window still freezes right after clearing the 'screen' - which suggests it's an Lsystem problem. Have you tried your 12 x 16k rendering with lsystems? Any help you (or anyone) could give would be much appreciated...!

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...

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?

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,

Date: 19 Nov 1999 22:50:44 -0500 (EST) Fractint fans: I've been exploring images of very high magnitude lately, and I have a question. When Fractint reaches the limit of resolution, it becomes erratic and ultimately refuses to calculate a higher magnitude. Worse, when I attempt to resume an interrupted image of very high magnitude, the program often begins to overwrite the partially finished image with an image of a slightly lesser magnitude, even when the higher magnitude image has an acceptable degree of degradation. Is there some way of forcing Fractint to calculate an image even when the image is somewhat past the limit of resolution?

After reading the tutorial, I just dove in with a text editor and made lots of mistakes but also found many interesting new critters. Here are some of them. My favourites are: 28f, m, o, s; 33a, 34a, 68, 70, 73c, 75, 76a, d, f; 78, 83a, 84a, 86, 93, 99d & h. Enjoy. (Note if necessary: save the text below as a text file marked [anything].l, e.g. hanmer.l (l for L-system). Also, some of the items have long lines which may spill over onto a second line on the screen in Windows; I don't know if this is allowed by the formula parser if saved that way, but in DOS they all work as long single lines.)

In Windows '95: fpu_on: 42.66 seconds fpu_off: 35.61 seconds DOS, having quit Windows '95: fpu_on: 31.69 seconds fpu_off: 21.92 seconds DOS, clean boot of the machine: fpu_on: 31.53 seconds fpu_off: 22.68 seconds Taking the ratio of the speeds of our processors: 133MHz / 90MHz = 1.478 times as fast Taking the DOS clean boot times above versus your P90 times: 44/31.53 = 1.3954 times as fast 29.88/22.68 = 1.317 times as fast So, the same effect is present in this case as for your comparison of 500MHz and 90MHz. The reason for this is because not _all_ of the time spent in calculating the image is processor time. In the case of generating a fractal, there is time spent accessing the video card, and time spent accessing the memory. Only if 100% of calculation time was spent on the processor would you see a increase in speed equal to the ratio of the processor speeds. This effect is known as Amdahl's Law. As an example, consider an imaginary situation where 90% of the time taken for a job on the computer is processor time, the other 10% being disk, memory or whatever. If we made our processor _infinitely_ fast, while leaving the other components unaffected, the 90% share would disappear completely (the processor would do its job instantaneously). That leaves 10%, which means the overall speedup is only a factor of 10!! Goodness only knows what Intel would charge for a PIII-infinityMHz processor, but I'm sure we'd feel cheated if it only gave us a 10 times improvement in performance... It works out from all the figures above that the 'fpu_on' and 'fpu_off' PARs spend about 90% of time on the processor, so the above example is quite realistic. Note that I have quoted three sets of times for different situations on my machine, and these times are all different. Inarguably, the processor is the same speed each time, so it is the other factors that affect the execution time. Hope that helps explain your results, Iain.

I am pretty new to this program but am having a great time using it, I also have been fooling around with Moray and Povray. My question is that I have a: 21" Hitachi CM812, a monster 3D card, using starfighter AGP release 0322, using the latest Fractint release and I can not get any of the stock fractint SVGA drivers to work other than some of the lesser displays and SuperVGA/Vesta Autodetect 800x600, 256 colors . I have my display set to 1280x1024, 24bit true color. It's very depressing not to be able to use the full capabilities of my monitor. I'm sure it's something simple, If anyone has some suggestions I would appreciate it.

For the record my times are: P90 PII 350 fpu_off 43.01 14.72 fpu_on 28.39 10.65 julzpwr1 55:57.44 15:15.22 Jim and Ian's results appear to have the on and off times reversed. I have been tracking times since Jim started posting precise times for the FOTD. A PII 350 should be 1.502 times as fast as a P200 on the basis of clock speed. My results for several months have been concentrated in the approximate range of 1.2 to 1.3 with a few notable exceptions. I dont remember when Jim switched his date format but using the new format here are four examples. PII 350 time ratios FOTD 20-09-99 .8065 FOTD 22-08-99 .7283 FOTD 17-08-99 1.9633 FOTD 05-09-99 1.8038 For data like this four decimal places seems to be overkill. The only conclusion I can draw is that there is something fishy in the state of fractals. On my PII 350 system doing a 640X480 plot that is completely in the outside area where the count should be either 0 or 1 ( I don't remember exactly how Fractint is set up) takes 0.11 seconds. This time is all that it should take for overhead in any plot, everything else should be itterating time. This amount of overhead is just over 1% for any plot that takes as little as 10 seconds. My system cant be counted on to repeat the same plot any closer than this. I presume these small variences can be due to exactly when Fractint's timer picks up the time. I would be extremely interested in what others see for thes four FOTD's.

Maybe some of the confusion is due to the fact that about two weeks ago when I purchased my dedicated fractal machine, I changed the source of my posted draw times from a p233 to a p200. But there still seems to be a discrepancy. Actually, in my experience, the same fractal never runs twice in exactly the same time, even on the same machine. I'll do some further experimentation with draw times when I get a slow day. Jim M.

Here are some more L-systems; I'm starting to get more control, though still a long way from fluency in this syntax, though also still enjoying its restrictions and possibilities very much. ADH105d is a right-angled version of Terdragon, with seemingly identical results when filled in solid. Try as I did I couldn't produce the median and rounded versions of this, but William McWorter, writer of the L-systems tutorial, kindly helped me with these and several other problems. Included are some variations on his Border; a 4-colour set of rounded Dragon Curves which proves that they can nestle with endpoints touching and not overlap; and a similar thing for the rounded square Terdragon, plus assorted odds and ends. Hope someone finds these interesting.

It is similar to vesa2cfg except that it actually writes all your video modes in the form of a fractint.cfg file. The key to video support from any board is to make sure VESA video modes are supported. Unfortunately that is no longer always the case, since VESA support is not citical now that most people are running Wndows. Tim (Yes this is really me.

Wegner" Subject: (fractint) fractint speed benchmarks Date: 27 Nov 1999 11:34:21 -0600 For me personally, I am not interested in integer math benchmarks, but I am interested in floating point benchmarks, or, for that matter, arbitrary precision benchmarks. The reason for this is that integer math will not be continued in Fractint much longer, because of the near-universal availability of coprocessors integrated into CPUs, and also that the speed advantage is gone. There are a number of factors that influence speed with fractint. Some fractal types (e.g. mandelbrot) have explicit assembler support, and others don't. Most of the assembler has some degree of pentium optimization which causes version-to-version differences. Of course formula types using float=yes also have assembler support. We may have to remove some of the recent fast parser optimizations because of a few formulas that don;'t work right. I am interested in formula type speed differences between 19.6 and 20.0. (You folks may have reported this, I haven't taken time to read all the messages.) Of course we are always interested in examples of benchmarks that show a slowdown in newer versions. Another interesting, and quite different, area of benchmarking would be to compare synchronous orbits (passes=s) with the regular mandelbrot. For modest zooms it is probably a lot worse but for deep zooms it can be a lot faster.

This "bug" is a very nice artifact!! Well, you can always keep Fractint 20.x around as long as you have a box that can boot DOS. More seriously, there is no decent cure for this problem. The integer math artifacts are very tied to the CPU-specific implementation of integer math. It *might* be possible to simulate the artifacts on other platforms as Fractint is moved off the segmented memory model, but it would take a lot of effort for a dubious result, and it might not even be possible.

MMX only supports 16-bit multiplies, which would handle little more than the initial zoom of the M-set. Hardly worth the effort. As soon as you get into deeper zooms, 32-bit integer math and 64-bit floating-point math becomes essential and MMX is useless.

I wrote a little program for myself to create that diagram. However, I would like to be able to use Fractint to create the diagram so that I can easily print it out from Fractint.

You can get a feel for some of the types of images that the formula produces by using the new evolver in v. 20. After this formula, I give some hints on how to use the formula. SliceJB {; by John R. H. Goering, July 1999 ;This formula produces 2D slices of the 4D Julibrot set. The numbers for ;p1 and p2 describe the rotation of the plane that slices the set (I ;call that plane the uv-plane -- the u-axis is the horizontal axis on ;the screen and the v-axis is the vertical axis). I call the 4 axes ;in 4-space the p, q, r, & s axes. The M-set is in the pq-plane and the ;J-sets are in the rs-plane and planes "parallel" to it. The rotation angles ;are to be entered as fractions of pi (e.g., pi/4 would be entered as 0.25). ;At first, the uv-plane is identical to the pq-plane. ;Then the rotations are performed counterclockwise in each plane as follows: ;First: real(p1)--the rotation in the qs-plane. Then imag(p1)--qr-plane. ;real(p2)--pr-plane. imag(p2)--pq-plane. ;The origin of the resulting skewed uv-plane is then placed at the point ;(real(p3), imag(p3), 0, 0) in pqrs-space. To create the M-set, leave the ;parameters alone, or you may change p3 to change the position of the M-set ;on the uv-plane. ;To create a J-set, set real(p1)=real(p2)=0.5, then set p3 equal to the ;constant for the J-set (let imag(p1)=imag(p2)=0). ;The parameters for p1 and p2 that are needed to put the uv-plane parallel to ;the various coordinate planes are as following (the numbers are given in the ;order -- real(p1), imag(p1), real(p2), imag(p2) ): ;pq-plane: 0, 0, 0, 0 pr-plane: 0, 0.5, 0, 0 ps-plane: 0.5, 0, 0, 0 ;qr: 0, 0.5, 0, 0.5 qs: 0.5, 0, 0, 0.5 rs: 0.5, 0, 0.5, 0 pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1), b=pi*imag(p1) g=pi*real(p2), d=pi*imag(p2), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g) sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d) p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd) q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd) r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q) + p3, z=r+flip(s): z=z*z+c |z|<=4 } Example 1: Set real(p1)=real(p2)=0.2; real(p3)=-0.1; and imag(p3)=0.7 (with the other parameters 0) Then zoom in on some of the detail. Notice that there are places that look like the M-set and a J-set have been "mixed" together to create the detail. Example 2: This example demonstrates one way to create a sequence of images that morph from the M-set to a particular J-set: First set real(p1)=real(p2)=0.5; real(p3)=-0.52; and imag(p3)=0.57 (with the other parameters 0) This should generate a J-set. Then press ctrl-e to enter evolver mode. Change evolution mode to "yes" and then press F6. Change Param 1 real to "x", Param 2 real to "y". Make sure all the other settings are "no". Then press enter. You should now be able to change x parameter range to 0.5, x parameter offset to 0, y parameter range to 0.5, and y parameter offset to 0. Then press enter. You should now see a screen full of images. The lower left image is a perfect M-set and the upper right image is a perfect J-set. (On my computer, I also see the same J-set in the center [is this a bug?]. The J-set does not belong there. To put the correct image in the center, first choose the image that is to the left of the center and press enter. On the resulting screen, choose the image that is to the right of the center and press enter. The correct image should now be in the center with the M and J sets at the lower left and upper right corners.) You can now pick any path from the lower left of the screen to the upper right of the screen to get a sequence of images that morph from the M-set to the J-set. Example 3: Set real(p1)=real(p2)=0.25 (with the other parameters set to 0) This appears to create an M-set that has been magnified by a factor of the sqrt(2). Apparently, slicing the Julibrot at this particular angle exposes a magnified M-set. Does anyone know why this happens? Example 4: Set imag(p1)=0.5 and all other parameters to 0. You will need to zoom out to get the "big picture." I think that this looks like a space probe entering the atmosphere. Example 5: Use the evolver to experiment! Some notes: 1) All angle measurements are in radians. 2) I sure wish that Fractint had 8 parameters for formulas instead of just 6. With 2 more parameters, I could place the origin of the uv-plane anywhere in pqrs-space instead of just somewhere on the pq-plane. 3) If anyone would like to see the mathematical derivation of this formula, I would be willing to post it.

No, the 2nd edition is the last. However, this book is still quite amazingly current and covers 95% of fractint.

I have all the GIF files for illustrations I created, but of course I do not have the Waite Group produced artwork. The rights ARE mine. The Waite Group gave them up when the book went out of print. There are a number of approaches that could be taken, from scanning the book to editing and upgrading the Word files. I am open to the idea, but I am also well aware of the huge effort needed. I am not saying no, but quite frankly I would rather spend *my* time working on the Fractint port to Windows/Linux/Macintosh which has been hard enough to carve out time for.

The message states: File FRACTINT.CFG is missing or invalid. I replaced the file FRACTINT.CFG with the back-up copy that I maintain in another directory. With the replacement CFG in place I still get the error message. Can anyone please help.

Search your entire system for fractint.cfg. You can do this one drive at a time by clicking on RUN and then FIND. Perhaps your PATH was changed when you installed AOL 5, and now Fractint finds an old version of Fractint.cfg. Fractint searches all the directories listed in your PATH environment when looking for fractint.cfg. Fractint SHOULD work OK if fractint.cfg is in the current directory when you start fractint. But if you just rename all your old versions of Fractint.cfg to something else, and make sure that Fractint.cfg is copied into a directory in your PATH. To see your path, open a DOS window and type: echo %PATH% Tim Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@swbell.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Genealogy1@aol.com Subject: Re: (fractint) Error message when starting FRACTINT...

Could you explain this to me another way? All other FRACTINT.CFG files were renamed and there was no change in the problem.

Maybe I wasn't that clear. I only wanted to know if the name of this book that the list is talking about was Fractal Creations, and if anybody had the faintest idea (anybody means you, hehe) if this book was distributed beyond the limits of the USA. Look, I know that it's easier for me to go looking or asking at the bookstores, but maybe you knew that. I can read it in English, of course, and I would like to, because sometimes translations are terrible. AND I'm not asking you a copy of your book, please don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to know where I can find it, or if I have to buy it via Internet or the like. Btw, what are your other books about? Photography? What are their names?

Apparently, slicing the Julibrot at this particular angle >exposes a magnified M-set. Does anyone know why this happens? It happens because there actually are two slices that cut the 4-D Julibrot in perfect Mandelbrot sets. The multirot-XY-ZW formula below draws this oversized M-set if p1 is set to 45,45 p2 and p3 are set to 0, and the functions are set to ident,flip. I call this second M-set the shadow set. It is double-rotated halfway between the Mandelbrot and Julia planes. >2) I sure wish that Fractint had 8 parameters for formulas instead of >just 6. Me too! 10 would be even better. Developers, hint, hint. >3) If anyone would like to see the mathematical derivation of this >formula, I would be willing to post it. Yes, post the math derivation. I'm still trying to find a single formula that with only 6 variable parameters can draw all the oblique slices through any point of the the Julibrot. The two formulas below can fix any point in the 4-D Julibrot on the screen and rotate the slice around this point. But I had to give up some rotations to achieve this. The rotations, which are set by p1, are in degrees. The second formula works only with the two functions set to ident,flip or flip,ident. You will soon recognize the slices. I have given the four new slices the names Parabolic, Oblate, Elliptic and Rectangular to go with the well-known Julia and Mandelbrot slices. ============================================================ multirot-XZ-YW {; Jim Muth ; p1= 0,0=para, 90,0=obl, 0,90=elip, 90,90=rect e=exp(flip(real(p1*.01745329251994))), f=exp(flip(imag(p1*.01745329251994))), z=f*real(pixel)+p2, c=e*imag(pixel)+p3: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= 36 } multirot-XY-ZW {; draws 6 planes and many rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p2, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p3: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= 36 } =========================================================== Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@swbell.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint"
