Ref. FOTD 17-04-11 (Muliple Glories) Hi Jim, thanks for your efforts to create an own image with multifractal. You´re the first one ever! I sincerely hope to encourage you not to give up. There is one fundamental thing you have to understand about Multifractal_10 and it´s preliminary versions: Only the P1 values remain untouched. All other parameters P2 to P5 have been "misused" to serve as variables for multifractal, due to lack of other input possibilities of course. If you set them to zero you´re deleting the variables and cant get anything but a blank screen. Additionally they have been split into several parts, the values before and after the dot. If you look at the inputs section of the frm you´ll notice the comma after the first value which defines the separate parts. The part after the dot (second input) has been split into several single pieces again. In some instances a single digit is an important variable. I´ll explain that with Real(p2): First Input, in front of the dot, defines the 5 numbers of the participating formulas to use in the following order: Shape - outside - inside 1,2,3. These formulas are listed at the end of the of the multifractal "program" to keep the name. - About myself: In the eighty´s and ninety´s I have published some programs for the Atari Xl among others a fractal program with implemented 3d functions and my own kind of "Julia", not knowing the name of course - Second input, after the dot: 6 digits, -2 digits each- basic variables for many mods, phoenix and spider. 1 digit: transition reset for the shape as foll: 0: no reset, 1: double mandel variation 2: iter reset, (counter set to zero) 3: both. Add 5 to these values te enable the "warp effect", this is explained in the "manual" 4 digits: reset values for channels 2-5 as follows: 0: no reset, 1: z_reset, 2: iter_reset, 3: both, add 5 to these values : "warp effect". Transitions means the dot of the image, where the use of another participating formula starts. Here´s the list of the used frms once more: (1) Secant (Mike Wareman) (2) Mandel (Special version Puskas Istvan) (3) Bees (Ray Girvan) (4) Julia (Special version Puskas Istvan) (5) Many mods (Linda Allison) (6) Phoenix (Mike Wareman) (7) Newton (Special Version Puskas Istvan) (8) Spiderjul (John Horner). Using this scheme it should be possible to understand the other inputs. I know I should have done this earlier, but some times you just expect too much. There is one big comment and a commented listing of the program when I published the first version. It´s not uptodate anymore but it may help to understand, what´s going on. If there´s a request I´ll repeat it here. These explanations also included as attachment to keep them available. Sincerely, Albrecht
