I was doing it with Pastengo. Very strange. It complains terribly when running directly from Pastengo. But from within Fractint, if you select the par file inside pastengo.par it works quite nicely. Fractint displays an "omega" symbol in place of the ê in that file. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

The problem is fetes has an e with a hat on it. I can't even type it, probably with a special key sequence I could. Anyway, fractint has a real problem with that. Just try making a par file with the code and see what it does. I'm thinking Jim must be checking to see if we are awake! -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

FOTD 15-03-05 (Elephant Bell [5])

FOTD -- March 15, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today is the ides of March. With today's image, we move on to the Rectangular orientation of the Z^2+C Julibrot. The Oblate and Parabolic slices require that the 3-D Julibrot section be oriented in our space with the real(z) axis perpendicular to the Mandelbrot set on the screen. The Rectangular and Elliptic orientations require the imag(z) axis of the Julibrot to be perpendicular to the screen. The Rectangular slices are then the view from left or right; the Elliptic slices are the view from above or below. Today's image is a scene with Rectangular orientation, located in Elephant Valley, which is the prominent valley on the east side of the Mandelbrot set. Elephants are everywhere in this area, and they can be found in nearly every orientation through the Julibrot. By contrast, the Mandelbrot features such as buds and midgets can be found in only a few of the Mandelbrot-orien- ted slices. (This is not strictly true, but we'll ignore the exception for now.) Instead of all facing in the same direction, the elephants in today's image are facing each other, trunk to trunk, and appear to be stomping on a bell. At least, this is what I saw when I was searching for a name for the image. The name "Elephant Bell" reflects what I imagined in the scene. Elephants might be large, but they are not all that unusual in the world of fractals. As a result, I could rate today's image no higher than a perfectly average 5. At nearly 8-1/2 minutes, the render time of the parameter file is within reason, but the download from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> is far more convenient. Monday was sunny but chilly here at Fractal Central. The fractal duo managed nearly a half-hour in the holly thicket, but repeated chilly gusts of wind soon drove them indoors, where they satisfied themselves with an extra treat of tuna. Today is starting the same. I expect pretty much the same reaction from the duo. For me it's more of the usual. The next FOTD will appear in 24 or so hours. Until then, take care, and where is Alice's looking glass?

If anyone is interested, here are 2 animations of Jim Muth's tessellation fractal, which was posted here recently. The following direct link will take you rite to these pretties: http://www.sonic.net/~jot/ufvp.html#tess BTW, all this recent talk of Warp-10 intrigues me. I remember from my old trekkie days the formula for "velocity" was C * e ^ w ; the speed of lite times the natural log raised to the power of the warp. Thus Warp-10 is about 22,000 times the speed of lite, which is serious cruisin' but technically not infinite; it would get you across the galaxy in about 5 years, excluding relativistic effects. I do recall one ep from the original series where the "Orion" creatures were trying to disrupt some interstellar diplomatic conference or something. They buzzed the Enterprise at Warp-10. The explanation given was that since they were on a "suicide mission" and "never intended to return", they could use "100% energy" and achieve the "impossible" speed of Warp-10. I never understood that reasoning ... Long Live the Cult of Fractint! JoTz

I noticed you say you stretched and skewed this image. As in computer graphics where we can stretch and skew in place of rotation, isn't there a way you could have rotated to that image instead? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

FOTD 14-03-05 (Fêtes [4])
by Jim Muth 14 Mar '05

FOTD -- March 14, 2005 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I was very successful at taking it easy on Sunday. In fact, I took it so easy that I had to break out a 2-year-old fractal study as today's FOTD. I can tell from the parameters that it is a Parabolic scene located in the vicinity of the period-8 bud on the northeast shoreline of the Mandelbrot set. The image has a very jovial, festive appearance. It could almost be a picture of the clutter lying on the pavement after a festive parade has passed by. I named it "Fêtes", which is the French word for 'festivals'. I chose the French word because it has a more artistic sound. Since the image is an old one, I could rate it no higher than a 4, but it is still quite interesting to see how such a familiar area of the M-set appears when seen from the Parabolic direction. With its render time of around 7 minutes, the parameter file is somewhat slow. The risk of upset stomach may be avoided by downloading the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The clouds slowly broke up during the day here at Fractal Central on Sunday. By late afternoon the temperature had reached 46F 8C, and the fractal cats had enjoyed over two hours in the brush. When the came inside, they were so content that they almost forgot their tuna. Today is starting sunny but chilly. I expect the duo will manage to sneak in a pleasant afternoon. For me the day looks uneventful. Unless the world ends, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. If the world does end, don't worry about it. Until next FOTD, take care, and everything that has a beginning in time must have an ending in time.
