I see now that Fractint v 20.0 can natively create large images directly in Disk Video mode. From the docs: "New 32767 x 32767 (32K) pixel limit. Removed the 2048 pixel limit for the size of fractals. You can now define disk video modes larger than 2048 x 2048." You define new Disk Video mode resolutions in the file: FRACTINT.CFG. Note that the format of this file is slightly different in Fractint for Windows beta 5. See "6.2 "Disk-Video" Modes" and "6.3 Customized Video Modes" in the docs. Basically, you duplicate an existing Disk Video mode line in FRACTINT.CFG. Then modify the new line to the resolution image you want Fractint to create. You won't see the image while it is being created, so you need to have composed it to exactly how you want it to appear before invoking your new Disk Video mode. Also, two corrections to the message I just posted: "This is how a particular "named group of parameters" in a .PAR file is invoked as is used in the file MAKEFIG.BAT:" should be: "This is how a particular "named group of parameters" in a .PAR file is invoked as is used in the file MAKEMIG.BAT:" and "It looks like a length of about 18 characters is Fractint's limit, so the original base name of the image needs to be a max of 15 chars:" should be: "It looks like a length of about 18 characters is Fractint's limit, so the original base name of the "named parameter group" needs to be a max of 15 chars:" - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net # #########################
