Jay,
Retrieve that image. Save the parameters. Change something to re-jenerate the image. I did not get the same image, and P2 and P3 were zero, which is wrong. You will need this formula in fractint.frm:
MandelBroh { ; Anglicized spelling. Recommends sticky functions. z=fn1(pixel) +P2, c=fn2(pixel) +P3:
z=z^real(P1) +c |z| <= imag(P1) }
This image does not have P2 or P3 set in it. It is looking for mandelbroh versus MandelBroh. Did anything else in the formula get changed when you changed the name? Or, do you have two versions of the formula? Fractint will use the first version it finds.
Jonathan
I did not change the name. Only one formula with that name is in my fractint.frm, and it is in camel caps (I do not know why I did that, since it is not a compound word or anything, and that is what I am stuck with, since I hav some parameter files done with it). I know that I changed P2 and P3 to something other than zero, especially since it does not jenerate the same image. So, you are telling me that P2 and P3 were not written in the first place. I successfully retrieved P2 and P3 from a new image, which confirmed the following laws: Wyszowski's Law: No experiment is reproducible. Fett's Law: Never replicate a successful experiment.
