FOTD 26-04-07 (FOTD for April 26, 2007 [7])
by Jim Muth 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

FOTD -- April 26, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: When six negative parts of Z^(-1.2) are combined with 0.6 negative part of Z^(-6.6) and (1/C) is added, an oversized parent fractal with several large bays results. From the bays filaments extend, which end in rings. Today's scene is located in a ring at the end of a very prominent filament. I rated the image at a 7 because even though it has no midget at the center, it has a strangely realistic 3-D appearance. I can take no credit for this effect however, for the colors were generated by the program. I did nothing but fine tune a couple registers. The bright sky-blue spire in the background is kind of a mystery. It is obviously the ghost reflection of a large bud, but the bud exists in some other plane of the Julibrot. One of these days when I have a bit more ambition, I might try to track it down. The calculation time of over 1/2 hour is too slow for such an image. I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the image there. Wednesday started fair enough here at Fractal Central, but clouds moved in during the morning and the rain began in the afternoon. The temperature of a chilly 50F 10C did not help things. The fractal cats ignored all this and passed the afternoon playing with their toys. My day was busy enough to keep me from worrying about the weather. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and search for the universal fractal.

Purple Kidney Beans in Butter
by Hal Lane 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

I have been calculating the parent fractal of each of Jim Muth's Fractal of the Day offerings recently because his descriptions of them often lead me to want to see more. Most of these parent fractals are interesting in their own right, but I often want to see a small area of the fractal a little better and then I am off zooming into fractal space again. Here is a zoom into Jim's FOTD_Apr-25_07 parent fractal that could be called Purple Kidney Beans in Butter. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_Apr-25_07zoom { ; Hal Lane 07-04-25 1:58 P400 1024x768 ; Zoom into Jim Muth's 07-04-25 FOTD reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=_m.frm formulaname=mandautocritinz function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-2.1175/-3.76512/9.956103/1/122.499999999999\ 986/3.85524945301085609e-014 params=-6/-1.2/-0.6/-6.6/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=9000 inside=0 periodicity=10 sound=off colors=000ttwttwuuxssvssv<8>aad__bYY`<2>SSVQQTOQTRTQVXO\ X_M_cJcfHehFhlCloAmr8qv5tz3vz1rv3or3lo5<3>Za6VZ6RV8OR8K\ O8HKADHAADC<2>03D00D00D00F00F00F00K00Q50TC0ZJ0cQ0fX0lc0\ qj0tq0zx0zr0xo0tj0of0la1fZ6cTCZQFVKKQHOMDKJAJF8FC5D83C5\ 081060030010<3>000000000<2>0101505A06D0AJ0CM0DQ0HV0JZ0M\ c0Of0Qj0To0Vr0Zx0_z0az0ez0fz0hz0jz0jz0jz0lz0lt0lq0lm0mh\ 0me0m_0oX0oR0oO0oK0lM0jM0hM3fO6eOAaOD_QHZQKXQOVQQRRTQRX\ OR_MTcKTfHTjFVmDVqCVtAVvCTtCTrCTqDTqDToDTmFTmFTlFTjFThH\ ThHTfHReHQeFOaDMZCKVCJTAHQ8FMAFMCHMDJMFKOFOTHQXJRaKVcKX\ eKXhKXjKZm<3>J_vJ_xJ_zJazJazJazJcz<2>JczvR0zH0z86z0Fz6D\ zDDzJCzQCzVAzaAxfAvm8tt8rz6<3>lz5zzAzzFzzJzzMxzOrzRmzTj\ zXez__zaXzeRzfMzjJzmDzo8zr5zt0zx0zz1zc5zJAz0Dz08z05z01z\ A<3>0zo0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zx0zv0zr3zo6zmqzztzzxzzzzzzzz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } END PARAMETER FILE========================================= No virus found in this outgoing message.

FOTD 25-04-07 (FOTD for April 25, 2007 [Not Rated])
by Jim Muth 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

FOTD -- April 25, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's FOTD I combined 6 negative parts of Z^(-1.2) with 0.6 negative part of Z^(-6.6) and added (1/C). This gave me a fractal with a prominent 'fan' and several large bays with filaments extending from them. The filaments terminate in fractal rings. Today's image is located in a spiral where a prominent filament intersects a circle. Since I put very little effort into the image, and I recall several quite similar FOTD's, I could neither name nor rate it. And the calculation time is a bit longer than ideal, but it's still a pleasant fractal to stand in awe of, or sit in awe of in this case. (All fractals are awesome.) The pure gray background is a kind of test. I'm not sure whether I like or dislike it. I was tempted to change it to a more brilliant hue, but in the end I decided to let the back- ground remain gray. To see the image as it is, either run the included parameter file and wait a few minutes, or visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view the image posted there. Great weather prevailed again on Tuesday here at Fractal Central -- lots of sun and a temperature of 73F 23C. The fractal cats checked the outside conditions from their window shelf, then decided it would be more fun to chase each other up and down the hallway. My day turned a little busy when an unexpected job came in, but the work is now behind me and tomorrow promises to be a quieter day. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and see the fractal wonders around you.

<David> An additional way to create 3:2 aspect ratio fractals
by Hal Lane 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

"David M Fisher" <sunfish(a)intercom.net> said: (original posting: Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:16:01 -0400) >>The normal screen resolution of monitor displays is >>in a ratio of 4:3, ie, 800x600. Is it possible to >>render in another resolution without distortion? Jonathan said: >Take a look at the 'v' screen and its documentation. Set: >Preview Display? (no for full screen) = yes >Auto window size reduction factor = 1 >Final media overall aspect ratio, y/x = 0.66 >Crop starting coordinates to new aspect ratio? = yes Another way to create fractals of essentially any desired resolution is to add lines to your FRACTINT.CFG file. The lines from my FRACTINT.CFG file I pasted below may wrap in the various email systems. You can make a backup copy of your FRACTINT.CFG file and use any ASCII text editor to look at -- and add lines to -- your FRACTINT.CFG file. After you add lines to FRACTINT.CFG, when you press the <DEL> key in Fractint you will see your new lines as new resolutions able to be chosen for the calculation. ; FRACTINT.CFG File ;key name of adapter/mode | AX | BX | CX | DX |mode| x | y |clr| comments ;=========================================================================== ====== F2 ,IBM 16-Color EGA , 10, 0, 0, 0, 2, 640, 350,256,Standard EGA hi-res mode F3 ,IBM 256-Color VGA/MCGA , 13, 0, 0, 0, 3, 320, 200,256,Quick and LOTS of colors ... The 2nd and 3rd lines below are Disk 'Video' mode lines I added to my FRACTINT.CFG file: ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11,1024, 768,256,For Background Fractals ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11,2048,1536,256,/For Bkgnd 2*(1024 x 768) ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11,4096,3072,256,/For Bkgnd 4*(1024 x 768) They let me create fractals of twice or four times the final resolution I want. After calculating the 'oversized' image I use my graphics software, CompuPic, to create an anti-aliased 1024 x 768 .jpg of the fractal from the oversized version. Most anti-aliased 1024 x 768 fractals are clearly visually superior to the same one calculated directly as 1024 x 768. You may want to consider using this technique for the fractals you sell. A few experiments should tell you whether this method provides any visible improvements in the printed results. See the Fractint docs for more info: "6.3 Customized Video Modes, FRACTINT.CFG If you have a favorite adapter/video mode that you would like to add to Fractint... if you want some new sizes of disk-video modes... if you want to remove table entries that do not apply to your system... if you want to specify different "textsafe=" options for different video modes... relief is here, and without even learning "C"! You can do these things by modifying the FRACTINT.CFG file with your text editor. Saving a backup copy of FRACTINT.CFG first is of course highly recommended! ..." Typing: FRACTINT MAKEDOC at the DOS command line will create the file FRACTINT.DOC. It is an ASCII text file, not an MS Word document as the .DOC implies. I rename the documentation file to FRACTINT.WRI so that the WRITE text editor (which can handle larger files than NOTEPAD) will edit the FRACTINT.WRI file when it is double clicked on. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### No virus found in this outgoing message.

FOTD 24-04-07 (Valley Scenery [6])
by Jim Muth 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

FOTD -- April 24, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was created when the formula Z^(1.3)+C was iterated 13 levels up the logarithmic ladder, with the escape radius set to 625. The parent fractal is a Mandeloid with several bays and an extremely long main filament. A prominent midget lies about midway out this filament. This midget is shaped much like the entire parent fractal, with several bays. Today's scene lies rather deep in one of the valleys that separate the bays. I named the image "Valley Scenery", since it is little more than a snapshot of what exists deep in a valley of a midget in a Mandeloid of order 1.3. The tiny midget at the center of the image is almost an accidental intruder. It has little to do with the main part of the image, which is little more than a collection of mostly random bits and pieces. One tiny bit of interest exists near the edges of some of the larger pieces of fractal stuff in the foreground, where comb- like features appear to be sprouting. There could be a bit of excitement in one of these combs, but the entire area is too slow for convenient exploration. The rating of a 6 might be a bit overdone. One thing definitely overdone however is the calculation time of over 1-1/2 hours. But the wait may be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> I sent the image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site about an hour ago, so it should be posted for viewing very soon. Friday was the fourth near-perfect day in a row here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun, gentle winds, and a high temperature of 84F 29C. The big excitement for the fractal cats came in the morning, when a lovesick tomcat wandered by, calling out for any lady cat within hearing. The local fractal lady cat, Cassie, seemed unimpressed by the scraggly intruder. My day was about average, though an extra long lunch did put the real work a bit behind. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be fractally oriented.
