Hi all, Fractals are fun... and here is something to play with. ; The formula combines 3 fractals, mandel or julia types, basic or exponential, totally 16 combinations, not all useful maybe. Each one can be defined by maxiter or border values. Now they work! The point was to allow at least one iteration in order to avoid wrong bailout. Set the border values higher then bailout if you dont want to use them and vv. "Soft transitions" means that "z" is not reset at the crossover. Sometimes a completely different inside is calculated if checked. Of course any other basic formulas can be used if they are ismand compatible. As this probably is not the final version, please report any bugs or anything that could be done better. Thank you! Have fun! -----------------------------start-pars------------------------------- Mandelmania { ; a severe case of.. ; Albrecht Niekamp March,03 ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 4 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=multi231.frm formulaname=multifrac_231 ismand=y function=exp/exp passes=t center-mag=-0.606061/4.44089e-016/0.9363296 params=-0.5/0.375/1536/2048/513/1025/1/1/2560/2560 float=y maxiter=2048 inside=atan outside=tdis logmap=3 periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=200JJJ<14>iiijjjlll<3>sss<25>BBB999777<2>222000012<24>0bo0cq0es<3\ >0kz<25>09C08A068<2>022000211<24>oiQqjRslS<3>zsX<25>CB7A96875<3>000400<2\ 3>o00q00s00<3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<9>III } Birds_over_Julia { ; Outside exp. julia ; Albrecht Niekamp, March,03 ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 4 ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 4 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=multi231.frm formulaname=multifrac_231 ismand=n function=exp/exp passes=t center-mag=0/0/0.6666667 params=-0.00180974761192663/-0.2758911404766991/1536/2048/513/1025/-2/3/\ 2560/2560 float=y maxiter=2048 inside=maxiter outside=tdis periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=200ddd<3>jjjlllnnn<2>sss<25>BBB999777<2>222000012<24>0bo0cq0es<3>\ 0kz<25>09C08A068<2>022000211<24>oiQqjRslS<3>zsX<25>CB7A96875<3>000400<23\ >o00q00s00<3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<21>bbb } Mandelmania_2 { ; Julia inside inside ; Albrecht Niekamp, March,03 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=multi231.frm formulaname=multifrac_231 ismand=y function=exp/sin passes=t center-mag=-0.606061/4.44089e-016/0.9363296 params=-0.5/0.375/1536/2048/513/1025/10/20/2560/2560 float=y maxiter=2048 inside=atan outside=tdis logmap=3 periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=200ggf<18>BBA998776<2>221000011<24>0bn0cp0er<3>0ky<25>09B089067<2\ >021000210<22>keNmgOoiPqjQslRunS<2>zsW<25>CB6A95874653442220000400<23>o0\ 0q00s00<3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<2>554776998BBACCB<16>eedggfiihjjillknnm\ <2>ssr<5>iih } Borderline { ; Mix of 3 fractals ; Albrecht Niekamp, March,03 ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 4 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=multi231.frm formulaname=multifrac_231 ismand=y function=exp/exp passes=t center-mag=-0.30271605328868720/-0.63359923125606620/52.34401 params=-0.00180974761192663/-0.2758911404766991/1536/3072/513/1025/4/2/3\ 300/3300 float=y maxiter=4094 inside=maxiter outside=tdis periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=200RRR<8>BBB999777<2>222000012<24>0bo0cq0es<3>0kz<25>09C08A068<2>\ 022000211<22>keOmgPoiQqjRslSunT<2>zsX<25>CB7A96875<3>000400<23>o00q00s00\ <3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<23>eeegggiiijjjlllnnn<2>sss<15>SSS } --------------------------------start-frm----------------------------------- frm:Multifrac_231 { ; Albrecht Niekamp March,03 ;real(p2) factor ;imag(p2) bailout ;real(p3) maxiter1 ;imag(p3) maxiter2 ;real(p4) inside1: 1_mandel 2_julia 3_expmandel 4_expjulia ; other: *10_soft julia transitions <0_outside=exp ;imag(p4) inside2: 1_mandel 2_julia 3_expmandel 4_expjulia ; other: *10_soft mandel transitions <0_no inside1 ;real(p5) border1 ;imag(p5) border2 fac=real(p2) ba=imag(p2) out1=real(p3) out2=imag(p3) b1=real(p5) b2=imag(p5) d1=real(p4) d2=imag(p4) vb=(d1<0) If (vb) d1=d1*-1 endif tj=(d1<10) if (tj==0) d1=d1/10 endif v1=(d1==3) v2=(d1==4) d1=(d1==2)+(d1==4) st=(d2<0) if (st) d2=d2*-1 endif mj=(d2<10) if (mj==0) d2=d2/10 endif v3=(d2==3) v4=(d2==4) d2=(d2==2)+(d2==4) t=0 start=2-st if (ismand) z=0 c=pixel else c=p1 z=pixel endif : if (vb) z=(z+real(c))^(z+imag(c)) else z=z^2+c endif bo=|z| if (start) t=t+1 if (start==2) if ((t>out1)+(bo>=b1)) u=2*(fn1(t/fac)) if (d1) if (tj) z=pixel endif c=p1*u vb=v2 else z=z*u c=z if (mj) z=0 endif vb=v1 endif start=1 t=0 endif else if (t>out2)+(bo>=b2) u=2*(fn2(t/fac)) if (d2) if (tj) z=pixel endif c=p1*u vb=v4 else z=z*u c=z if (mj) z=0 endif vb=v3 endif start=0 endif endif endif bo<=ba } ------------------------------------end------------------------

Fractint version 20.2 patch 5
by Jonathan Osuch 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Fractint version 20.2 patch 5 diff and executables are now available on the developer's ftp site: www.fractint.org From the Whats new file ***** Patch 5 Made changes to allow Xfractint to find files that use upper case letters. Fixed a problem with the Cellular type that prevented entering an initial row of greater than 32767 from working. Added a message about not being able to resume after interrupting prior to rows being displayed on screen. Fixed an evolver bug which caused setting evolver parameters to turn evolving on, even though evolving was actually turned off. Added Charlie Chernohorsky's truecolor speed up and his implementation of virtual screen sizes for the VESA modes (dotmode=28). This feature does not work consistently between different video cards, so it may be turned off by using the startup command "virtual=n". Use the <V> screen to set the desired virtual screen size. See {View Window}. Please remember that if either X or Y is greater than 2048, solid guessing is turned off. This is for multiple reasons, so it is likely it will NOT get fixed soon. There is also a problem with the colorbars that appear when saving an image leaving bits of corruption on the screen. This occurs in all the VESA truecolor modes. Added Charlie to the scrolling list of contributors. Added Charlie's fix for the l-system type which occurred when a push-pop combination was on two different lines. Fixed the PAGE-UP/PAGE-DN zoombox in Xfractint so that it now appears on the screen. Fixed ranges= in Xfractint so GIFs save correctly and program doesn't end abruptly. ***** What is not mentioned are changes to the Xfractint X11 interface to improve reliability (I hope), man page update, and the Xfractint source now comes as a tar.gz file. All four sources have their own diff in the 2002p05.zip file. You will need to apply only one of them. See the readme.1st file in 2002p05.zip. I have not yet updated the experimental Allegro port source or made a diff for it. Jonathan

FOTD 29-03-03 (Goldiebrot [4])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

FOTD -- March 29, 2003 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal scene lies in a parent fractal that results when one negative part of Z^(-0.3) is combined with one negative part of Z^(-3) and (1/C) is added to the iterations. This parent resembles an oval island with a pointed east end and a chaotic west end lined with Mandelbrot buds. The island is surrounded by the fractal ocean of infinity. Today's scene lies in a dis- connected area of chaos just inland from the southwest shore- line of the parent, at a point where the shore is lined with fractal buds. When I studied the finished image, searching for a rating, I got the impression that I had been here before -- not to this exact place, but to a place similar. As a result, the rating that started at a 5 dropped to a 4, which is all I can do for such an image. (Strange as it may seem, the fewer FOTD images I post, the lower the quality of the images seems to become. In a week or two when I decide the fate of my overworked FOTD-CD, I'll return to my daily FOTD schedule, and the quality will hopefully pick up.) I named today's image "Goldiebrot" after the well-known fairy- tale character who visited the house where 3 bears lived. The gold coloring in the image inspired the name. The 5-1/2 minute render time of the parameter file is not too long to wait for the image to appear. But downloading the completed image from the web site of Paul at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> will eliminate even the small wait. The weather during the past week here at Fractal Central varied between sunny and warm, and rainy and cold. The mood of the dynamic duo varied between happy and grouchy. This morning is starting dreary with a temperature of 59F 15C and showers expected through the day. I expect it will be a bad day for cats. The FOTD-CD is making steady progress. The problem is that as soon as I fix one problem, I find another. If the present trend continues, I might have to admit that I will never get the disk perfect and resign myself to a production which is adequate but with flaws. Until Saturday, April 05, take care, and searching for truth is one thing; recognizing truth when you find it is another.

Hi, all This is what I did the last days, helps to think of other things. The formula incl. Sylvie Gallets Lake effect can be used with other formulas. As it contains all needed variables copy the whole thing incl. the "if w" procedure and append your formula. The fractal is a "3d-look" mandel with inside Julia, transparent letters and underwater look by double layers. The text is manipulated in two ways, first by a multiplication factor added to each datavalue, which compresses or expands the letters and secondly by imaginary x and y values which change the place and size of the letters. Here`s how it is set up: Use a lores screen, all variables set to zero, for horizontal symmetry checks the zoombox is handy. Real (p4) is the horizontal perspective distortion factor. Positive values compress the outer letters, negative values compress the inner letters. The vertical factor creates a concave distortion if posive and a convex one if negative. All options can be combined and create different views. Both values positive generate a close up view, HF negative a more distant view. The size values can can erase or add cols or rows and do not change the perspective, but help to get rid of evtl. "wrong pixels". With left/right size it`s easy to correct the symmetry. Although the size is autoadjusted to the settings, some correction maybe needed, especially with extreme settings. How about creating your own splash screen and present it here?

FOTD 22-03-03 (Unseen Mandelbrot [5])
by Jim Muth 22 Mar '03

22 Mar '03

FOTD -- March 22, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With no daily FOTD, the Fractint and philofractal lists are basically dead. But, as I have often said, there is no need for concern. I, for one, am not losing enthusiasm for fractals. I am simply in the tedious process of getting the FOTD-CD up to a level where it is worth spending 20 dollars for. This process is being complicated by a seasonal crush of other work, which must be given priority. Also, I must leave town for an appointment early next week, and I have decided to use the appointment as an excuse for a 3-day vacation. I realize that this will slow things down, but I have had no time off since September of 2000. This being covered, it is time to get to the day's image. It is a picture of a midget lying near a larger midget deep in a filament on the second bud out the main negative stem of the Mandelbrot set. Since the chances of this particular midget ever having been previously seen are in effect zero, I have named the picture "Unseen Mandelbrot". The magnitude lies in the upper range of arbitrary precision math, which results in an image that takes just over 1/2 hour to render on my machine. There is not much to be said about the image other than it is a typical deep midget on a filament. Due to its average nature, I gave the image an average rating of 5. The image may be seen by starting the attached parameter file and waiting 1/2 hour, but the better way of viewing it is to download the finished image file from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The week just ended was quite cold, damp and rainy here at Fractal Central. The fractal duo spent the week sitting by the window, wishing conditions were more pleasant. Much tuna and some turkey was needed to keep their moods liveable. Today (Saturday) is starting more pleasantly, with sun and warmer temperatures. I foresee better moods in the near future. As for myself, I'm going to take a well-earned 3-day vacation at the ocean Monday to Wednesday before getting back to work and doing the things that need to be done, such as the CD. The next FOTD will appear on March 29. Until then, take care, and keep fractals alive.
