From: JimMuth@aol.com Subject: (fractint) C-FOTD 02-03-01 (Tiny Fractal Town [7]) Date: 01 Mar 2001 23:04:11 EST Classic FOTD -- March 02, 2001 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Having been busy all day today, I found almost no time for fractal fun. But thanks to the MandelbrotMix4 formula, the tiny bit of time I did find was enough to create today's fractal. The name "Tiny Fractal Town", which I gave to today's image, has nothing at all to do with the appearance of the picture. I thought of the phrase while repairing a crack in the wall of the soon-to-be all-new Fractal Central. The rating of 7 is an honest statement of my opinion of the image. The formula that drew the image mixes portions of Z^(-0.75) and Z^(1.25) before adding 1/C. The image takes 8-1/2 minutes to render from the parameter file, a long enough time to make a trip to: or to: well worth the effort. The fractal weather today was mostly sunny and seasonal, with a temperature of 45F (7C), which lured the fractal cats onto the porch. Thomas ventured into the yard long enough to eat his fill of grass, which he barely managed to keep down until he came back indoors. I forgave him for the little mess he made on the kitchen floor. That's it for today. I'm totally fatigued once again, and ready to doze off trying to watch some junky movie. I'll return in 24 hours, hopefully refreshed, and with a new fractal. Until then, take care, and when is the last time you saw a fractal going through a red light?

Since writing the above comment, I have run the parameter file that Mike attached to his original letter. The diffusion method actually took only 2 seconds longer to draw the image than the passes=1 method. And I must rate Mike's color palette an 8, as compared to my original hasty palette, which I rated a 7. The boundary tracing method does not work on the "Tinytown" image. It misses too many disconnected features. FOTD in 2 hours. Jim M.

But despite the rush, I still found time to create a fractal worth a rating of 5. I named the image "Mandeloid Shellout" when I was reminded of a group of conch shells lying on some forgotten beach. The formula Z^(0.01)+10Z^2+(1/C) created the parent fractal of today's scene. The picture actually should not be referred to as a 'classic' FOTD, since the outside colors were created by the 'tdis' coloring method instead of the normal flat equal-iteration bands. The attached parameter file renders in 12-1/2 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz. This is slow enough to make a trip to one of the following web sites worth the effort. Those web sites are Paul's at: and Scott's at: The fractal weather today was partly cloudy, with an ideal temperature of 54F (12C). The temperature was ideal, but unfortunately, I spent almost the entire afternoon at the hardware superstore purchasing supplies for the new Fractal Central. As a result, the cats did not get to go out, and I was met by a pair of sulky cats when I returned around nightfall. And now, the day is at an end; the fractal shoppe is ready to be shut down; the cats have been well fed, and I'm finished for the day. There's nothing left to do but put on a junky old sci-fi or horror movie, and doze off while trying to watch it. Until next time, take care, and life is better with fractals.

I could have named it many things, but the name I decided on is "A Fungus Amungus", which is a phrase I heard in my high-school days, which were all too many years ago. The math expression -Z^(-12.5)-12Z^(-1.25)+(1/C) produced the image, the formula MandelbrotMix4 calculated the 6,000 iterations, and the 'fmod' outside option with a proximity value of 1, supplied the egg-like bubbles. I rated the image a 7 because of the unusually pronounced three- dimensional effect. The image takes 45 minutes to render on a 200mhz Pentium. For relief, the GIF file of the image will be posted as soon as possible to the following web sites: and The fractal weather was partly cloudy and a pleasant 55F (13C). But I was too busy to look after the fractal cats, who scolded me thoroughly when I returned. The media is covering a monster snowstorm, which is due to arrive tomorrow night. Knowing from experience how these things go, I can confidently predict that any snow will be insignificant. It's now time to shut down here and begin a day of hectic activity at the new Fractal Central. Until 16 hours from now, take care, and see you later.

But it was not too busy for me to find a fractal. To produce the parent fractal of today's image, I subtracted some Z^(-2.5) from some Z^(-2), added 1/C, and iterated 600 times. The outside was colored by the tdis method, which I find myself using more and more often when the classic method comes up blank. I named the picture "On the Diagonal" because that is where the midget is located. Considering the lack of effort I put into the picture, I could rate it only a 4, which is a bit below average. The parameter file renders in one very fast minute. And as always, the GIF file of the image is available on the Web at: and at: The fractal weather today was cloudy, cold and rainy, with a temperature of 36F (2C) that confined the fractal cats to their window shelf. As I suspected yesterday, the forecasted monster snowstorm did not happen today, and the TV weather experts are once again doing damage control. That's it for today. But be patient, the rush will eventually end, and the FOTD discussion will return to its former glory. Until next time, take care, and be a happy fractalist.

The fractal formula: 0.99(1/Z)-0.99Z+(1/C), when calculated with a bailout radius of 110, draws a Mandeloid distorted almost to the point of being unrecognizable. But hidden in this figure lie many pleasing scenes. Today's image is but one of these scenes. I named the picture "Ring of Acorns" when I saw in the tree outside the window, a squirrel with his nut.

The image will be available shortly on the Web at: and at: The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was very cold, very cloudy, very windy, with a few flurries of snow thrown in to keep things interesting.

The hectic activity is partly responsible for the name, which I intended to have a double meaning. I'm pretty much physically worn out, due to the work involved in moving. My compulsion to search for fractals however continues unabated, as it has for over 13 years. My frustration is that I have so little time to write the FOTD, but that will end early next month when I get settled into the new Fractal Central. FOTD in 16 hours. Jim M.

I spent most of the day hanging shades, a job that is sure to bring out the worst in one. But after many choice words, the job was accomplished, and my attention turned to the world of fractals. Today's image reminds me of a group of orchids growing in some forgotten tropical rain forest. I named it "Fractal Orchids" and rated it a 6. Today's fractal is the latest in my series of 'evaporated' midgets, which I create by taking a fractal whose formula contains a negative power of Z and raising the bailout to a ridiculous value. The extreme bailout causes the outside parts of the image to disappear, leaving a blank screen totally composed of 'inside' stuff. But the ghost of the original image still exists in the blank scene, and can be revealed with various non-flat inside fills. Today's image for example uses a fill of bof61. The formula behind today's image takes a tiny bit of Z^(-13) and adds 20 times as much Z^(-0.8) before adding 1/C. The resulting fractal was enhanced in a separate graphic program, but the enhancement is accurately recorded in the parameter file. The image takes a bit over 4 minutes to render on a tired Pentium 200mhz machine. It takes about the same time to log onto the internet and download the GIF file of the image from: or from: The fractal weather today was much improved, as bright sun and mild breezes combined to produce a temperature of 48F (9C). The fractal cats spent a half hour outdoors enjoying the pleasant conditions, but would have preferred a far longer stay in the sun. Until tomorrow, take care of your fractals.

When I saw the 640x480 image I thought you were kidding about the 7. However when I generated it at 1600x1200 I thought you were being stingy. For some images, size does matter and this is one. Even though, seen as 3D, the 'lighting' is coming from all around, not from a single source (and without multiple shadows) the relief effect isn't diminished, but made weirder - like the thing is some alien Stonehenge. BTW, I still don't think that you should make the concession of calling it the "Classic" FOTD.

The fractal formula: 0.99(1/Z)-0.99Z+(1/C), when calculated with a bailout radius of 110, draws a Mandeloid distorted almost to the point of being unrecognizable.

Until then, I'll be moving the heavy equipment into the new Fractal Central and trying to get things up and running once again. Once things are back in full operation, probably early next month, I'll also resume posting the FOTD images to ABPF. Today's quickie image is another that rates an average 5. I named it "Midget Abstraction" because I could think of nothing better, though it now reminds me of a small basin in a layer of small seashells. The formula 1.4Z^(-3.333)+14Z^(-0.3333)+(1/C) created the parent fractal, which is an inside-out thing shaped vaguely like a horse shoe, or a stunted tree on a wind swept hill. Rendered in the normal manner, the image is filled with holes. To add interest, I have set the inside to bof60 and the outside to tdis. The parameter file of today's image renders in 4-3/4 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz machine. How fast it will render on a PentiumIV 1500mhz machine is anybody's guess, since I have no such machine. To make life easier, Paul and Scott will post the GIF image to their web sites as soon as possible. Unfortu- nately, writing on a different machine, I do not have the URL's at hand, but they are included in every previous FOTD. The fractal weather today was bland and pleasant, with lots of sun and a temperature of 50F (10C). The fractal cats would have enjoyed a long romp outdoors, but with me so busy, they got none. All they got was angry. That's it for six days. I'll return in 135 hours or so with the next FOTD. Until then, take care, and live and breathe fractals.

As soon as I've got some free time at all, I already rendered Sylvie Gallet's versions of "The Fractal Swarm" - I'll put them up as soon as I can. The rest will have to wait a while, though I hope to get them up eventually . . . maybe I'll have time this weekend. The homework load seems a bit light this weekend, so I might have time to work on the HTML and try to get that coloring option implemented :) -Zorba ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 12:59 PM > Hi there > > Unfortunately, the fmod coloring option is not implemented in UltraFractal (the > same applies to the outside = tdis option, which Jim has been using frequently > in the last few weeks).

I cannot be sure that it produces *exactly* the same results as Fractint, but it looks right. ;-) It is: FMod(BOTH) { ;by Rupert Millard ;compatibility with fractint ;color = magnitude * colors / closeprox init: complex lastorbit=0 loop: if cabs(#z-#pixel)<=@proximity lastorbit=#z endif final: #index=cabs(lastorbit)/@proximity default: title = "FMod" param proximity default=0.01 endparam } Save the formula in a .UCL file in your UF formulas library directory.

With so much stuff to be packed, it's a wonder that I found the time to wander through the world of fractals. But find the time I did, and today's image is where I stopped. The fractal formula: 1.3Z^(-1.5)-0.65Z^(1.5)+(1/C) drew the image. I named the picture "All Wrung Out" when I noticed that the twisted elements resemble a large sheet being wrung dry. When all was finisher, I studied everything and rated the image a 5. The parameter file renders in a speedy 1-1/2 minutes. Once the GIF image has been posted, the download will be equally as fast. The image will be available shortly on the Web at: and at: The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was very cold, very cloudy, very windy, with a few flurries of snow thrown in to keep things interesting. The cats naturally stayed inside all day. That's it for today, fractal fans. But I'll return tomorrow with another fractal and an abbreviated discussion. Until then, take care, and when one calculates a fractal, the future can be known.

The hectic activity is partly responsible for the name, which I intended to have a double meaning. I'm pretty much physically worn out, due to the work involved in moving. My compulsion to search for fractals however continues unabated, as it has for over 13 years. My frustration is that I have so little time to write the FOTD, but that will end early next month when I get settled into the new Fractal Central. FOTD in 16 hours. Jim M.

The fractal formula: 0.99(1/Z)-0.99Z+(1/C), when calculated with a bailout radius of 110, draws a Mandeloid distorted almost to the point of being unrecognizable. But hidden in this figure lie many pleasing scenes. Today's image is but one of these scenes. I named the picture "Ring of Acorns" when I saw in the tree outside the window, a squirrel with his nut. I rated the picture a somewhat conservative 6. The parameter file takes over 9 minutes to render on a Pentium 200mhz. The best way to tell if the wait is worth the result is to download the file of the GIF image from: or from: giving Paul and Scott a chance to post the image. The fractal weather today was cloudy and cold, with 1 cm of snow in the morning, accompanied by media weather people being made fun of as they tried to explain why we did not get the 75cm that some had foolishly predicted. This little bit of snow, and the temperature of 35F (1.5C), kept the cats indoors. The work on the new Fractal Central continues unabated. Late this week we'll begin moving in our equipment. But for now it's time to call it a day. Until tomorrow, take care, and does the world of fractals have a god who can change the rules?

Curiously, the size makes little difference with some images, but all the difference in the world with others. The "Fungus Amungus" image suffers as much as any image I have seen if rendered at low resolution. I search for my FOTD's in 640x480x256 mode. The posted render time is at SF5, but I archive the images at higher resolutions. Jim M.

Until then, I'll be moving the heavy equipment into the new Fractal Central and trying to get things up and running once again. Once things are back in full operation, probably early next month, I'll also resume posting the FOTD images to ABPF. Today's quickie image is another that rates an average 5. I named it "Midget Abstraction" because I could think of nothing better, though it now reminds me of a small basin in a layer of small seashells. The formula 1.4Z^(-3.333)+14Z^(-0.3333)+(1/C) created the parent fractal, which is an inside-out thing shaped vaguely like a horse shoe, or a stunted tree on a wind swept hill. Rendered in the normal manner, the image is filled with holes. To add interest, I have set the inside to bof60 and the outside to tdis. The parameter file of today's image renders in 4-3/4 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz machine. How fast it will render on a PentiumIV 1500mhz machine is anybody's guess, since I have no such machine. To make life easier, Paul and Scott will post the GIF image to their web sites as soon as possible. Unfortu- nately, writing on a different machine, I do not have the URL's at hand, but they are included in every previous FOTD. The fractal weather today was bland and pleasant, with lots of sun and a temperature of 50F (10C). The fractal cats would have enjoyed a long romp outdoors, but with me so busy, they got none. All they got was angry. That's it for six days. I'll return in 135 hours or so with the next FOTD. Until then, take care, and live and breathe fractals.

I spent most of the day hanging shades, a job that is sure to bring out the worst in one. But after many choice words, the job was accomplished, and my attention turned to the world of fractals. Today's image reminds me of a group of orchids growing in some forgotten tropical rain forest. I named it "Fractal Orchids" and rated it a 6. Today's fractal is the latest in my series of 'evaporated' midgets, which I create by taking a fractal whose formula contains a negative power of Z and raising the bailout to a ridiculous value. The extreme bailout causes the outside parts of the image to disappear, leaving a blank screen totally composed of 'inside' stuff. But the ghost of the original image still exists in the blank scene, and can be revealed with various non-flat inside fills. Today's image for example uses a fill of bof61. The formula behind today's image takes a tiny bit of Z^(-13) and adds 20 times as much Z^(-0.8) before adding 1/C. The resulting fractal was enhanced in a separate graphic program, but the enhancement is accurately recorded in the parameter file. The image takes a bit over 4 minutes to render on a tired Pentium 200mhz machine. It takes about the same time to log onto the internet and download the GIF file of the image from: or from: The fractal weather today was much improved, as bright sun and mild breezes combined to produce a temperature of 48F (9C). The fractal cats spent a half hour outdoors enjoying the pleasant conditions, but would have preferred a far longer stay in the sun. Until tomorrow, take care of your fractals.

IBM just gave the University of Washington EE department 10 RS/6000 Model 44-270s, each of which has 4 CPUs and 4 GBytes of RAM. I am in the process of porting xfractint to AIX 4.3.3 using VisualAge C++ Professional / C for AIX Compiler, Version 5. I have spent perhaps 30 minutes on the project so far, which of course isn't enough. Before I get too involved in this little project, I have some questions: 1) Does anybody know the peculiar combination of switches required to get the code to compile with this combination of compiler and operating system? I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but if somebody has this information at their fingertips, I'd love to know. It runs fine on Linux. 2) Why is MSDOS defined as 1 in port.h? Should that not be in a conditional somewhere? 3) With all of the CPUs I have at my disposal, I'd like to build a parallel version of the xfractint. Has anybody ever done anything like this? The Mandlebrot set ought to be easy to parallelize, because there is no dependencies between any point and any other point.

Termcap (along with terminfo) is the mechanism by which UNIX systems support hundreds of varieties of ASCII terminals without the need for special drivers for each terminal. But not a Linux user, I'm not sure that these apply for that operating system. I do know that there had been a problem a year ago with some of the keys not working correctly.

Unfortunately too, instead of cycling the whole fractal is being recalculated, which needs some time. (I hope, that this sycling will be fixed somedays?) Why isn't it possible to use more than 256 colours? Has that something to do with the use of GIFs? > Have fun finding fancy fractals! > Scott Boyd Thanks. 10 years ago we used fractint on the old DOS systems. It was the best, coolest and cheapest programme we had in those days.

Until the FOTD routine is re-established, the FOTD discussions will be brief. The features surrounding the midget in today's image remind me of an opening flower. The name "Mandelbrot Flower" seemed perfectly natural. The formula ((-Z)^2)+(0.1(1/Z))+C drew the parent fractal, which resembles a reversed and very twisted M-set, partly filled in with the debris of 1/Z. After a brief period of indecision, I rated the image at an average 5. Since the 20 minute render time is a bit slow, I recommend downloading the complete GIF image from: or from: The fractal weather today was cloudy with rain in the evening and a temperature of 46F (8C), which was too cold for the delicate duo of fractal cats, who spent the day in their favorite chairs, dreaming of outdoors. And that's it for today's brief encounter with the wonder of fractals. Until tomorrow at this same time, take care, and I really believe that fractals are real.

I'm at the stage where the new Fractal Central is operating, but I have no idea where anything is. nevertheless, I found an average fractal, which appears almost by magic if the parameter file is run. I named the image "Mandelbrot Glory"< and rated it a 5. Searching for things such as certain computer disks in dozens of packed cartons leaves little time for discussing fractals, so I'll end my short discussion here. The GIF image will soon be available at: and at: The fractal weather today was cloudy with rain in the afternoon and a temperature of 48F (9C). Having been marooned indoors for two consecutive days, the fractal cats were testy most of the day. I'll return as scheduled in 20 hours with another brief FOTD. Until then, take care, and watch the time fly.

Today's quick fractal takes advantage of the 'tdis' outside coloring option of Fractint. I named it "Mandelbrot Radiance" because of the golden radiance that seems to be coming from the midget. The 'tdis' option often produces an effect of terraces such as the effect seen in today's image. I rated the picture a 6, which is a little above average. With a draw time of 2-1/2 minutes on a Pentium 200mhz machine, running the parameter file is about as efficient a way of viewing the image as going to: or: and downloading the GIF file from there. The fractal weather today was cloudy and chilly, with a temperature of 48F (9C) and a shower in the afternoon, which combined to keep the cats housebound. That's it for today. Until next time, take care, and relax.
