Hi, Maryetta, Thanks for the info: >they [the attachments] came thru when i got davids email posting, >and they i enjoyed seeing the images. I have a question for you -- do you receive your [Fractint] posts as several individual emails or as a digest where a whole day's worth of posts are gathered into a single email? I receive a digest of [Fractint] postings and I have been wondering if that changes whether I can receive [Fractint] attachments or not. I get other non-[Fractint] attachments just fine. Thanks for your reply in advance. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ---------------------------------------------------------- >Message: 2 >Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 07:09:27 -0600 >From: Maryetta Campbell <Maryetta.C(a)Earthlink.net> >Subject: Re: [Fractint] Please include your pars and frms in the body >To: fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com >Message-ID: <45BB4F07.1010206(a)Earthlink.net> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > >Hal Lane wrote: >> David, >> Please include your pars and frms in the body >> of your text like Jim Muth does.

> i did a copy paste job and the file is here; it is very pretty :) > sammi Thank you, Sammi, for re-posting David Fisher's .par and .frm files as part of the body of your post. I was able to see and use the files. It a very interesting fractal. The formula is also interesting in that it alters the normal Newton's method fractal by the value of 'pixel' at each pixel location. > he [Hal Lane] has some type of email setting that doesn't allow > attachments. > sammi I don't know what is going on. I have always received, and continue to receive, attachments. Its just attachments from newsgroups like [Fractint] that appear to be affected. Perhaps it is the fact that I receive digests of posts instead of individual posts that keeps me from getting the attachments. To confound matters even more, Maryetta Campbell who uses earthlink.net for email -- as I do -- says: > they [the attachments] came thru when i got davids email > posting, and they i enjoyed seeing the images. So, it would seem that I have *not* somehow turned off the ability to receive any attachments in my Outlook email program -- and that earthlink.net does not uniformly delete attachments from mailman.xmission.com. I'm still in the dark as to what is causing the loss of these attachments. Again, note that I receive a digest of [Fractint]. I always assumed that getting no attachments was a limitation of the digest format. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: color map batch changing
by jackoftradez＠comcast.net 31 Jan '07

. Tony, I had to do that many times; often I will render hundreds or thousands of images for an animation, and later discover a new or better color map. Most recently for the U3 viddies. Rather than re-render the entire animation sequence, it is much quicker to just load the frames into fractint, change the color map, and re-save the image. To do this in batch mode without babysitting, I wrote a fractint autokey script to do it. Do this: 1> Place the following AUTO.KEY file in your fractint directory with fractint, all support files, all the images you want to change, the original map AND the new map! 2> Fire up fractint with this format: FRACTINT FIRSTIMAGEFILE.GIF AUTOKEY=PLAY Alternately, you can just open fractint, use R key to load the gif, then G key to bring up command line, then type autokey-play The images will load in sequence and be transformed. It is best to have all the originals named starting with a low letter like A or B, and be sure your sstools.ini is set to save images in a higher letter like X or Z. This way they will not overwrite or overlap and you can easily monitor the progress on screne. Also, there is no end to this - it will keep going forever. So you have to manually stop it after the last image is done. (hit ESC key). Do in a Win9X DOS box, not native DOS. Because when you get more than a few hundred file in one directory in DOS strange things happen. Copy the following code into a text editor like notepad: ################start code##################### WAIT 2.0 "r" WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 "g" WAIT 2.0 "map=your new map name here.map" WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 "s" WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 STARTX: "r" WAIT 2.0 RIGHT WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 "g" WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 "s" WAIT 2.0 ENTER WAIT 2.0 GOTO STARTX #################end code####################### name the file: AUTO.KEY It works and several hundred files may take a couple hours, which is much better than several months if you rerender them.

Batch Map changing...?
by Tony Hanmer 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Does anyone out there know of a way to change the colour map on a large batch of Fractint .gifs to a different, existing map and resave them so that Fractint can still use them, all without opening them in Fractint? I have several thousand such files (IFS type), all of which I wish to recolour at the same time. Tony Hanmer Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia

Parsnips (corrected)
by David M Fisher 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Sorry 'bout that! The formula for ..0003 was actually the .par repeated. This e-mail has the correct stuff. I will get the QC in gear for the rest of the time, but if there are problems which I have caused, or can correct, please let me know. Again, I apologize, and the original attachments can be deleted.

Parsnips

Attached are three more .pars from my archived stuff. .Frm are included for two of the three, the one without being part of the basic fractint program. These are also quite old, and go back to the last century. Hope you like them..... DM Fisher

FOTD 31-01-07 (FOTD for Jan 31, 2007 [No Rating)

FOTD -- January 31, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: To create today's parent fractal I combined negative Z^(-11.11) with 11 negative parts of Z^(-1.1) and added (1/C), clearly a play on the number 1. This parent fractal is a sprawling, over- sized thing with many large bays, a near-perfect Mandeloid, and a prominent 'fan' edged by a string of broken Mandeloid midgets. Today's image is located at the edge of the 'fan', near one of the larger midgets. The image is notable for the brilliancy of its colors, but despite the brilliancy, I declined to give it a name or rating. The calculation time of 13-1/4 minutes borders on slowness. Not to worry however. The already-calculated image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it may be viewed at leisure. A partly cloudy and mild day, with a temperature of 36F 2C, was spoiled at nightfall when a surprise snow squall left 1-1/2 inches (4cm) of snow on the ground. The fractal cats were so busy chasing each other that they never noticed the snow. My day was extremely busy. And the rush looks like it will con- tinue well into February. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep the FOTD on schedule, but only time will tell. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and enjoy life from the fractal perspective.

FOTD -- January 30, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal came to be when I subtracted 0.2 parts of Z^(-7) from 0.2 parts of Z^(3), then added (1/C). The unusual effect was achieved by calculating the image with the 'inside' set to 'fmod' with a proximity factor of 1.3, and the 'outside' set to the conventional equal-iteration-bands col- oring method. I gave the image no name or rating. The calculation time of 5-1/2 minutes is short enough to make the job of rendering the image a fractal snap. Even more snappy is the way the image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it may be easily viewed. Partly cloudy skies, biting winds, occasional flurres of snow, and a high temperature of 25F -4C kept all cats of the fractal variety well contained on Monday. The duo passed the day seeking warmth and food. My day was once again unusually busy. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours or somewhere in that general time zone. Until then, take care, and get in there with the big-time fractal thinkers.
