Iterated Dynamics 1.3 released
by Richard 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

Hi, Iterated Dynamics 1.3 has been released! This release is a bug fix release. Highlights of this release are: - Color channel values now retain their full 8-bit precision (#47, #61). (I bet you didn't realize that even though VGA displays have supported 8-bits per channel in the color table since 1991, FRACTINT has been silently truncating your colormap values to 6-bits!) - The savetime parameter functionality for automatic saves during long rendering has been restored (#43). - The delay value is properly displayed for the ant automaton (#287). - Fractals using the log function now render properly (#295 and others). - Discussions of integer math computations were removed from the documentation (#303) Consult the change log in the help file or the list of issues closed for milestone 1.3 for a detailed list of changes.

Some questions about formula semantics
by Richard 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

Hi, For background, see this github discussion message: <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/iterated-dynamics/discussions/300#disc…> I haven't tried these out in FRACTINT yet, so I thought I'd ask here and maybe someone would know :) 1. Can an assignment operator be used in a sub-expression? e.g. is 'q=4+(w=6)/2' valid syntax? If so, what are the values of q and w afterwards? My expectation is yes, this is be valid syntax and the values should be q=7 and w=6. 2. Do the logical operators && and || have "short-circuit" behavior like they do in C/C++? My expectation is yes, meaning that e is unevaluated in the expressions '0 && e' and '1 || e'. No assignment expressions in e change variables, no values in the expression e are computed. Also, I note that the use of \ to continue a single logical statement across multiple physical lines doesn't appear to be documented for the formula type, although it's used in plenty of .frm files.

Iterated Dynamics 1.2 released
by Richard 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Hi, Iterated Dynamics 1.2 has been released. Version 1.2 is mostly a code cleanup release that removes integer fractal types and replaces them exclusively with floating-point types. This change was made to simplify the existing code paths in preparation for migration to wxWidgets in version 2.0. New Features in Version 1.2 - Native Windows file browse dialog for opening files. - Improved version handling with the reset parameter. - Improved version handling when reading GIF files. - Improved version handling when writing GIF files. - Improved rendering of mathematics in the HTML help. A number of bugs were also fixed; details are in the help. Download: <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/iterated-dynamics/releases/tag/v1.2.0> Project Page: <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/iterated-dynamics> Online HTML help: <https://legalizeadulthood.github.io/iterated-dynamics/> Thanks, -- Richard -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!

XFractint SDL starts in small window
by david 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

I use a 4K display. I have xfract, the non-SDL Linux version, it accepts the "-geometry 3840x2160" command line option to use the full screen and works fine. XFractint SDL just reports an error and comes up in a little 920xsomething window. The window can't be resized. I had also added an entry to the fractint.cfg file so I could manually select the 4K resolution. When I start XFractint SDL and select that option, I sometimes get an error about "stack smashing detected" and the program doesn't start. And other times it simply returns to the existing window size with no changes. I'm running Debian Bookworm on a Ryzen 9 9950X CPU, AMD GPU, 128GB of memory, 728GB of space available on a 2TB NVME drive. Ideas? -- David W.

Hi All, When I added inline image markup for the HTML version of the help, I forgot to suppress them for in-program help resulting in some asserts in the debugger and junk output in the in-program help screens. This has been corrected in the hotfix release 1.1.1 that is available on github: <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/iterated-dynamics/releases/tag/v1.1.1> Version 1.1.1 will upgrade version 1.0 or version 1.1 in place if you are using the Windows Installer (MSI) package.

Random Fractal of the Day script
by Richard 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Hi, I've created a little PHP script that will return to you a random Fractal of the Day. You can see it in action on my fractals page: <https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/>. Every load of that page shows a different random Fractal of the Day, with appropriate links to the image, parameter file and FotD archive main page. The script is located at: <https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/random.php> The script can return a random FotD, or a specific FotD can be obtained with the '?id=N' parameter where N is the id associated with the entry. (The id may not be stable over time as new images are added, so be forewarned.) The id returned for a random result is embedded in an HTML comment. Example HTML result:  <a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…"><img src="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…"></a><br/> <a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/index.html">Fractal of the Day</a>, 2008.11.27<br/> Outward Bound (<a href="https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/2008/11/2008.11.27-Outwar…">parameter file</a>) The script can also return results as JSON by accessing 'random.php/json' or as markdown by accessing 'random.php/md'. The HTML output is the default and may be suitable for embedding in your web page as an <iframe>, but better results may be obtained by getting the JSON and using a little script to insert the elements as iframes are kinda hacky and messy. I created this to scratch my own itch, but maybe you find it useful too. -- Richard -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Legacy FRACTINT (and FRACT386) sources and releases resurrected

I scraped through a bunch of archive.org files and found various source and binary releases of Bert Tyler's original FRACT386 as well as old versions of FRACTINT and I've reconstructed the source code history as best I could, along with making the release I've found all available in one convenient place: The source code is a git repository on github. <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/fractint-legacy> You can browse the source code for different revisions by selecting the Tags from the Code tab. Binary releases can be obtained (maybe you have an old PC and you want to see it do something) from the Releases link on the right-hand side of the Code tab. The repository is read-only as I've only reconstructed it for historical reference, not for actual work. -- Richard -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Hi Richard, > Oh sweet! I will go through these. It looks like you didn't keep > Jim's little essays for some of them. Oh well, the pars/frms are > better than nothing 🙂 I didn't think we preserved the essays in the par archives. You may have seen various FTOD compilations that exist that have them. Paul Lee had one going, the links don't work 100 percent and many times the image wasn't preserved. But I'm encouraged at how well this works at all! http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html It's a shame that 20 years ago it was about about preserving disk space. I probably has a lot of the essay's in the xmission Fractint Digests but wasn't saving them. Now that feels foolish! > Oh, lots of archived goodies there, thanks.

I don't know if you've seen Paul's main page https://web.archive.org/web/20090815013739/http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/ and his software list page. What a job he was doing! https://web.archive.org/web/20090909005540/http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/… > However, there are two variants of the formula parser/interpreter. > There is the assembly language verison used by the DOS code and there > is the C language version used by everything else.

There was a way to hook this into Fractint I think. https://interocitors.com/tmp/fractals/ORGFORM.ZIP Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know :) Roger

Re: FOTD pars uploaded to github (Richard)

Hi Richard, Les St Clair used to make par files by year, and then I contributed some. His site is still in wayback but many of the later lists were never posted. The last backup of his site was https://web.archive.org/web/20190311231709/http://www.les-stclair.co.uk/fra… The pars I compiled start on April 12, 1997 and end on April 11, 2008. These dates were of JM "fiscal" year as it were. I uploaded the complete set of the files here to make it easier (1.7 mb). I have checked and you have some missing days here and there. You might just be able to process these if you want. You're pretty good at github I see :) https://www.interocitors.com/tmp/fractals/FTOD.zip Roger P.S. you are posting that sometimes the ID image comes out different that Fractint. Is it possible it is using a different formula? One of the biggest problems I had with Fractint was that they didn't force the formula names to be unique. In the orgform database they had "dup" lists for each letter of the alphabet.

Hi fractal fans, I've uploaded all the PARs I have for Jim Muth's Fractal of the Day series to github.

The PARs are here: <https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/fotd> From there (using the "Code" button) you can download a ZIP of all the PARs, which is simpler than downloading individual PARs one at a time. If you have any missing PARs (2002 or earlier), I'd love to get a copy of them so that I can fill in missing dates.

high-resolution archive of Jim Muth's Fractal of the Day restored
by Richard 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Hi Gang, A while back I was producing 1600x1200 renderings of Jim Muth's Fractal of the Day in an automated fashion. They chewed up some disk space on my personal web page, which was limited at the time. So I had old images rolling off after a period of time and they were archived some place inaccesible from the web. Now my personal web space quota is sufficient to host the whole archive again, so I've restored them from the archives. This is every FOTD image posted from June, 2002 to July, 2014. The PAR files include the text of Jim's email. <https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/index.html> -- Richard -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Re: So read a little bit about the history of complex dynamics
by Timothy Wegner 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

More from Lee Skinner (we are still working on why he can't post): Bill, I have no problem with anything that your references state: that there are no islands within the main Mandelbrot lake or in any of the surrounding midgets. But my conjecture similarly states just the opposite: That there are no islands in the surrounding space outside the Mandelbrot Set, i.e., the tendrils do not enclose any of that space. So, just viewing the Mandelbrot Set as black on a white background (no other colors), there are no islands in either the black or white regions. Lee On 1/31/2024 10:09 AM, Bill Jemison wrote: I may have misspoken - or more likely don't understand. Rather than saying the entire Mset is a single line, I probably should have said that the boundary line (or shoreline) should be a single line if MLC holds. There is no mention of multiple boundary lines or shorelines that I remember. Let's say that the fractal is the lake. My understanding of MLC is that there can be no islands in the M-lake, since that would bring into play more than one shoreline. Here is a quote from the article: *************** In the Orsay notes, Douady and Hubbard proved several major theorems that were motivated by the computer images they’d seen. *They showed that the Mandelbrot set was connected — that you can draw a line from any point in the set to any other without lifting your pencil*. Mandelbrot had initially suspected the opposite: His first images of the set looked like one big island with lots of little ones floating in a sea around it. But later, after seeing higher-resolution pictures — including ones that used color to illustrate how quickly equations outside the set flew off to infinity — Mandelbrot changed his guess.* It became clear that those little islands were all connected by very thin tendrils.* The introduction of color “is a very mundane thing, but it’s important,” said Søren Eilers of the University of Copenhagen. **************** And here is another: ***************** Density of hyperbolicity deals with the Mandelbrot set’s interior. But* MLC would also enable mathematicians to assign an address to every point on the set’s boundary.* “It gives a name to every dot. And then, once you have been able to name every dot of the boundary of the Mandelbrot set, you can hope to really understand it completely,” Hubbard said. ****************** It seems to me that naming every point on the set's boundary strongly implies that there is indeed only one boundary. If there is an island in the fractal lake (or outside it?) that would introduce another unbroken boundary. Obviously, I am struggling to understand some of the concepts and theories, but am fascinated nonetheless.

Mandel deriv inte
by Edward Montague 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Over at Fractal Forums, which I can't reach at present, there's an attempt to integrate the Mandelbrot series via the Euler method or similar. It occurs to me that one way to check the validity of this approach is to apply the integration method to the derivative of the Mandelbrot series. This is my initial attempt, feel free to make your own formulas from this. Try p2 between 0.01 and 1 For d--mand, p1 should be large For ed-mand , p1 0.1, p2 0.01 , or similar , this is examining the region where integral of the derivative is mostly the same as the iterated function. d--mand.frm ; Euler integration method, y[n+1] = y[n] + h*f(tn,y[n]) ; For Mandelbrot set, f(tn,y[n]) = y[n]^2 + c ; y[n+1]=y[n] + h*(y[n]^2 + c) e---mand {; Ed Mont, (c) 2023 z = c = pixel, u = p2*z : z = z^2 + c; u = u + p2*z |u|<p1 } ; First derivative of the Mandelbrot series . ; z[n+1]' = ( 2*z[n]'*z[n] ) + 1 d---mand {; Ed Mont, (c) 2023 z = c = pixel, u=1: u = (2*u*z) + 1 z = z^2 + c; |u|<p1 } ; First derivative of the Mandelbrot series . ; z[n+1]' = ( 2*z[n]'*z[n] ) + 1 ; Then Eulers method . ed---mand {; Ed Mont, (c) 2023 z = c = pixel, u=1, w = p2*u,v=c: z=v u = (2*u*z) + 1 w = w + p2*u v = z^2 + c |w-z| < p1 }

Update 2022-05-03 to SDL version
by Jonathan Osuch 13 Aug '23

13 Aug '23

Folks, An updated version of SDL Fractint has been uploaded to www.fractint.net. Fixes include: Fixed palette editor font. Fixed prompt/tab screen borders when a fractal type or formula has no parameters. Enabled orbits window. Fixed sound routines so emulation of PC speaker works and turns off when sound=no is used. Fixed functionality of orbitsave=yes/no/sound so that it will now turn off when orbitsave=no is used at the command prompt screen <G>. Note that I did not get the PC speaker emulation to reproduce the screech that you get in the DOS version when the orbit delay is too short. The sound skips, instead. The click due to the square wave cutting off when the note is ended is faithfully reproduced. The Advanced Sound Control features are not implemented. Look in the directory at: https://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.tar.xz Jonathan

I'm an Electrical Engineer, retired, focused on analog and mixed signal. I played around with Fractint in the early days. Also doing some rudimentary programming of ideas in Scientific American's "Computer Creations" articles. I was EE Lab Manager at a university and when the pandemic hit I had some free time to revisit Fractint. Even more time after I retired in April 2022, after 31 years. My Fractint skills are pretty basic, exploring the built-in formulas and devising a few MAP files. Here's a gallery of images and videos of parameter morphing and an image zoom. https://photos.app.goo.gl/zeUuxvwQaoXwkEGG7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGAZXM1EUoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEkSIFZEB3Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5UY8eF_F2w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOVOv8P-gdA

Practical fractal
by Edward Montague 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

As mentioned in previous threads, and attempted through a frm and par file; I'm also interested in the application of Fractals to the classical representations of Nature. In particular the solution of non linear differential equations. At the inception of Fractint, there was the discrete representation of differential equations; the Lorenz attractor being one of these. Has this progressed; is there accompanying documentation ?

Fractint compatibility
by Giacomo Belbo 12 May '23

12 May '23

Hi all, Just wondering if this mailing list is still alive, I noticed the forums are not active, I hope people still use Fractint. A more practical question: I have v20 of Fractint and just installed v16. I’ve tried to run some of the formulas that come with v20 on v16: the main formulas (FractInt.frm) of v20 run fine on v16 however all the rest of the formulas under /frm do not run (I get error messages) - I thought there was compatibility, am I doing something wrong? Cheers!

Richard wrote (concerning the fractint and fractdev mailing lists at xmission): > Actually, I pay for it. I appreciate the correction. Of course I knew you were instrumental in getting the fractint lists set up with xmission, but all these years I was under the impression xmission was providing a free service that you had organized. So we owe that thanks to you also for paying for it as well as the thanks for getting it set up! I have an account at Dreamhost where I manage mailing lists for some other organizations, as well as host the fractint web sites. I could host the fractint and fractdev mailing lists there for no additional cost to me, but this late in Fractint's life cycle, I don't think that's a good idea. And while most aspects of moving the mailing lists would not be too hard, I don't like to think about dealing with the archives! Not to mention that the email address of the lists would change. So as long as the current hosting of fractint and fractdev mailing lists by xmission suits you, I think we should continue it. If you ever want to change your support, just let me know,. Tim

Good afternoon from balmy Hawaii!

An interesting composition from Albrecht Niekamp again - with the very appropriate title: "Games Colors Play". When I first glance at this fractal, my brain momentarily interprets it incorrectly as a spiral. When looking more closely, I always find that it's not.

There's a hanging feature in the upper left and right corners (and repeated elsewhere) that looks like it could be fun to explore... https://bit.ly/Atomic-Mandel-Zoom Since today's image is just a rotation and modest zoom of a previously posted fractal, it effectively shares the same PAR file: "The Atomic Mandel" PAR file: https://bit.ly/57508X22-PAR P.

Another Hybrid Zoom into the ORB - (Trip Fantastique) fractal called The Atomic Mandel.
by Harold Lane 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Albrecht says that The Atomic Mandel is an example of a new kind of fractal which is uses the MFR14-2 formula with a new Warp effect applied to all participating formulas. "Another Hybrid Zoom into the ORB - (Trip Fantastique) fractal, called The Atomic Mandel." I like this one much more than his previous fractal! This is a nice "Study in Blue, With Gold and Red Accents." To me, it really does have the flavor of an atomic nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. I hope I can get Fractint going again soon so I can zoom into some of the "blue electrons" in the outermost shell!

Hybrid Zoom into The WonderWheel (The ORB)
by Harold Lane 15 Oct '22

15 Oct '22

Albrecht has created a new type of fractal with his Multifrac formula he calls "hybrid". I don't understand what the change he has made is, but he's pleased that his attempt has produced results. He says: "Before I started had great doubts if it would work. But it did, a hybrid version of almost every multifractal. Got the source image from the 57508-43 The Orb (Trip fantastique) a motd (Multifractal Of The Day) image with full warp facility, every frm at each iteration. There are many more zooms." Albrecht's image makes me feel like I'm looking inside a psychedelic watch.

I suspect that many Fractint patrons have run across the phrase, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire." Enclosed is a link to the "frying pan".

Thank you, Jonathan. Hal, you have read it. He can only guess. Sry I had waited for something definite. But : I get stable and predictable results and I collect new informations. I think that´s enough to go on, like in the early stages of my multifractal experiments. Only one thing must be clear : What I call "fog" is N O T a lack of precision. Just the opposite: The new "Hybrid Fractales" have the same same precision and deep zooming power like my other multifractal creations. Agreed? Albrecht

Can you say what´´s going on or mabe supply reliiable details. A multiplication factor, maybe. Also the environment is some kind of fog with drops that can be zoomed in and sometimes contain surprising images. Thanks for your assistance! Albrecht

Albrecht has created some new images using his MFR (multifractal_12) formula
by Harold Lane 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Albrecht has created some new images using his MFR (multifractal_12) formula. I put one of his images and its PAR file on my server and created "shortlinks" to them. Although the bit.ly links below are HTTPS, the address on my server that the link redirects to is HTTP. Some web browsers may not like HTTP pages. I'm looking into adding a certificate to my server to allow HTTPS links to be handled/served. I like the organized chaos along the bottom edge of Albrecht's fractal -- as well as the tunnel. The tunnel arches are made of pretty amazing stuff, too... Albrecht calls this nice image: "Entrance to the new fractal world": https://bit.ly/50205F03-GIF PAR file (includes Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula): https://bit.ly/50205f03-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

I wonder if Jim Muth would be willing to do a "Fractal of the Month"?

I wonder if Jim Muth would be willing to do a "Fractal of the Month"? I was really happy when he made this post (a year and a half ago) : ---------------- JIm Muth speaking. (FOTD) Is anyone still there? I'm alive and well and recovering from fractal burnout. by Jim Muth Or maybe I should be asking if I'm still subscribed I'm again finding unexpected images in unlikely formulas. Maybe I'll soon be thinking of getting the Fractal of the Day started again. Jim Muth --------------- I was able to do a search - just now -- for: Muth at: https://mailman.xmission.com/hyperkitty/list/fractint@mailman.xmission.com/l atest?count=200&page=1 to find his above post. Note: To view posts, I only click on (at the bottom of the page) : - the "page number digits" in the "Older" "Newer" area, (the server response is a little slow; be patient), and - "# of posts per page" choice, and - the Search window (at the top of page). I've avoided clicking on the dates at the left edge of the page after initial poor results when trying that. The transferred Fractint "/hyperkitty/"archive appears complete -- I was able to look at 20-year-old posts. I just tested -- you can still post to the [Fractint] list by emailing to: fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com and it appears that no account or login is necessary. My old, carefully saved, login was not recognized when I tried it quite some time ago. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Music fractals with Fractint
by Jonathan Osuch 16 Apr '22

16 Apr '22

Folks, I've been working on emulating the PC speaker with the SDL version and noticed that even though the documentation and prompts state that the orbit delay time is in milli-seconds, it is actually in tenths of a milli-second. Changing this will obviously throw off the timing of previously generated PAR files. I would prefer to not change the behaviour. Will need to change the docs. Any thoughts on this? Jonathan

I'm really not keen on generating a new .txt > file every time I use fractint<g>. Well, that's ugly. Ideally, you should be able to press <G> to bring up the prompt screen and then enter orbitsave=no to turn it off. However, the original orbitsave function was to cause IFS and LORENZ types to output an acrospin file. The orbitsave=sound feature commandeered the variable and provided no way to turn it off. I will fix it in the SDL version. Jonathan

Re: Music fractals with Fractint

Jonathan, My knee jerk response is to say to duplicate the Fractint's behavior in your SDL version, so existing files work correctly, but update the Fractint docs, as you suggested. And perhaps include a comment in the Fractint docs where the change/correction to them is made, adding something like, "The docs have always included an incorrect description, but now correctly describe Fractint's behavior. No changes to the behavior of Fractint have been made. Older files play correctly in both Fractint and FractSDL." (or something similar.) I'm a little tired right now, but wanted to reply -- is the above reasonable? Thanks for continuing your work on the SDL version of Fractint, Jonathan! - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Osuch <osuchj(a)mediacombb.net> Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2022 8:57 AM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Fractint] Music fractals with Fractint Folks, I've been working on emulating the PC speaker with the SDL version and noticed that even though the documentation and prompts state that the orbit delay time is in milli-seconds, it is actually in tenths of a milli-second.

Fracton 3D
by Mike Frazier 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

There is a new version of Fracton that supports 3D fractals. It also still supports FractInt parameter files. A new triplex compiler makes entering equations for 3D fractals as simple and concise as it was for 2D. Fracton then makes a 3D model with triangles. You compose the scene by moving the camera and adjusting lighting in real time. Once you are satisfied with the scene, Fracton can make a high quality ray traced image or a movie. Fracton is free and is available on the Mac App Store. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1589677006 -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

Folks, Fixed creation of parameter entries (using <b>) that randomly failed. Fixed fractal type menu items that did not return to the currently selected fractal. Changed Arbitrary Precision Math C code to use 32/64 bit routines instead of 16/32 bit routines. Look in the directory: https://www.fractint.org/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.tar.xz Jonathan

As Edward Montague, I've deposited a few files, with a fractal content, to http://riotorto.users.sourceforge.net/Maxima/vtk/elevation_grid/index.html The structure of the program was chosen to emulate that of fractint, the definition of an iterated function and then the iteration loops for x and y values; with a particular, though not unique, escape criteria.

xfractint batch mode
by Chris Combs 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Hello! I am firing up xfractint on my Ubuntu machine and it's pretty much as I remembered fractint many years ago--an old friend. Is anyone successfully using batch mode with xfractint? I can't get it to output anything other than a blank 800x600 image around 3KB. xfractint works well in interactive mode with the same .par. I was wondering if it might be related to setting video params, based on the fractint manual, but that doesn't seem to be a thing with xfractint...? command line: combs@pripyat:~$ xfractint @madnessmethod.par/madnessmethod batch=y savename=barf .par contents: madnessmethod { reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.83027567839279071/+0.20488435231784574/18436.37 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=88888 inside=0 colors=(a)grey.map } very glad for any help anyone can offer!

I think so. I've been doing most of my fractaling with XFractint or the alpha SDL versions of XFractint for Linux. I haven't tried any of Albrecht's formulas there.

Hi, after a long time I´m back, only today and there´s a reason: The new Dosbox Version Tim has published, a complete ready to go Fractint fast and stable. AND it has a 1600/1200 reso, my favorite. available even on big flatscreens although not supported. I have a Panasonic 4K TV and to watch your fractals in room filling size WOW!

New SDL Fractint version from Jonathan
by Timothy Wegner 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Jonathan fixed some bugs in his SDL version of Fractint. This is a literal port of the DOS version, but runs directly under Windows. I briefly tested it under the latest Windows 10, and it ran like greased lightning compared to the DOS version running under DOSBox. Here's what Jonathan said about it: >> I fixed the video resolution change crash and updated the files on fractint.net. There is still an issue when you use the mouse to create a zoom box while the image is still generating. For the most part, everything works. There is a list of issues in the New Features section of help. >> Just unzip the directory SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-12-26 someplace on your Windows machine, browse to it with Explorer, and run fractint.exe https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-12-26.z… Since the list is quiet these days, probably OK to post feedback, tips, and experiences here.

About fractals in ManpWIN, someone may find strange its peculiar avocado-green color. ?Control + P? can change this, permanently, to Fractint`s `DEFAULT` color. Other Fractint`s color are also available. This avocado-green is interesting for the shadows that appear in the tri-dimensional `Perturbation` or `Slope` fractals.

I think ManpWIN of Paul Deleeuw, operating in Windows 32 and 64 bits can solve part of speed and deep zoom into a lot of fractals, a great part of them came from fractint. Perturbation is a new interesting tool for fractals. It can be downloaded directly from Paul`s page: https://deleeuw.com.au/

DOSBox and Fractint - need testing
by Timothy Wegner 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Lately I have been getting emails from folks who long ago used Fractint, and wanted to try it again, only to discover it doesn't run under Windows. My guess is that these folks have lots of time on their hands because of the pandemic, which is why I am suddenly hearing from folks. Of course there are various other possibilities, including the SDL version Jonathan is working on, but my general answer has been to suggest they run the DOS version with DOSBox. I had generally recommended a version called DOSBox SVN Daum on a Chinese site. But today I learned that it is no longer maintained and is not recommended. So I found a much more recent DOSBox version, and set up some files that should make it very easy to use with Fractint. I would like some folks to try it. I have not yet written a readme or other instructions, but they are pretty simple. I would love some folks here to try it and and tell me if it works for you. Download the file https://fractint.net/ftp/current/DOSBox/DOSBoxX_Fractint.zip Unzip the zip archive to a directory on your Windows machine. You will see the directory DOSBoxX_Fractint containing a batch file, a directory for DOSBox-X and a directory for Fractint. You should be able to locate the batch file in Windows explorer and run it. DOSBox should come up running Fractint. Let me know if this works. DOSBox is the DOSBox-X version 0.83.7 compiled Oct 31, 2020, and Fractint is version 20.04.14. The VESA video modes should work up to 1600x1200 Feedback much appreciated. Hope everyone is healthy, my family is fine here. Tim

Blast from the past - XP lives and can build Fractint!
by Timothy Wegner 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

I'm guessing many on this mailing list are of a certain age like I am, so you might appreciate this story. I'm a (very old and slow) runner, and hurt my knee about a month ago, so had a lot of extra time on my hands while I recovered. (I'm back to 15 miles a week or so, and doing fine, thanks.) So with the extra time not running I decided to tackle organizing the many old hard drives I have lying around. I have built a number of computers over the years, and always built them with removable drives. My oldest working computer has one parallel ATA Lian Li caddy, and I have a bunch of drives that fit it. One 80 gb drive has a note that it ran XP but I assumed it was for my old XP machine that died a while ago, along with my last working Fractint build environment. My ancient memory is that XP does not do well booting on the wrong computer, but for no good reason, I tried booting the drive. Voila! XP came up along with a working Fractint build environment! From the time stamps, looks like this was last booted about five years ago! I am not clear if this drive ran XP on the now-dead computer, or if it worked with the "newer" vintage 2007 computer I tried it on. I'm guessing the latter, since it booted with no obvious issues. In any case, I can now build the classic DOS fractint. I don't want to mislead anyone, I'm not about to suddenly resume developing the classic Fractint, and I'm not sure I want to get sucked into all the issues surrounding an old OS like Windows XP. That said, it gives me a certain nostalgic pleasure to know I can. Jonathan has largely avoided this by working with the newer Windows SDL environment. I don't even know if he could compile the DOS fractint if he was so inclined. Tim

Chebyshev 3D YouTube Movie
by Mike Frazier 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

I made a YouTube movie of flying around in a Chebyshev 3D fractal. Using a browser it can be viewed as a VR 360 degree movie so you can look around in any direction even when the movie is paused. If you have a VR headset it also looks good in those using the YouTube app for Playstation or Occulus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iyYSCYjBt4&feature=youtu.be This is the same fractal I posted back in 2012 on this page: http://www.fracton.org/fmlposts/chebyshev.html -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

Tried updating the fractint.cfg file with a 256-color entry for 4K (3840x2160) resolution, but selecting it only makes XFractint SDL abruptly vanish. Yet starting with the default window size (640x480 and stock mandelbrot) I can maximize the window and XFractint happily re-renders it at 4K resolution. It looks wonderful! :) :) :) -- David W.

Archives back online

Xmission support just wrote to me that the fractint archives are back working. That doesn't mean that there aren't missing messages in the archives, but just glancing, I see some of the recent messages are there. If someone wants to check more thoroughly, let us know the result. Recall that there were archives problems earlier in the year, so it wouldn't surprise me if the archives are incomplete. If the archives capture messages going forward, we are better off than we were. The link can be found at the bottom of every message, and clicking once more at the archives link near the top.

Jim Muth's DivideBrot5 formula makes nice fractals.
by Harold Lane 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Jim Muth's DivideBrot5 formula makes nice fractals. Fractint says his *built-in-type* formula is: z(n+1)=sqr(z(n)) / (z(n)^(-(a-2)) + (b+10^(-20)))+pixel For these fractals I set the parameters: a=7 and b=1. Default values are: a=2 and b=0. I couldn't resist doing a few zooms while I was trying out Jonathan's new version of FractSDL: "SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2019-09-15". View these fractals full size to see their original pixels. Firefox displayed my images OK with my URL's HTTP://, but Chrome looks like it changes my URLs to HTTP*S*:// and my hosting provider's HTTPS certificate looks like it aged out last month -- and Chrome now gives a certificate error: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID After I got the above error -- to view my images in Chrome I think I recall I had to: - click Advanced, and then click Chrome's: - "Proceed to www.emarketingiseasy.com (unsafe)" Even after clearing Chrome's cache and closing and reopening Chrome, Google has remembered that I want to view images on my server and won't give me the error again -- so I'm not able to provide you with certainty the exact sequence of clicks I used to see my images using Chrome. Sorry. I use a link shortener because long links get chopped into two pieces by the email/list process -- neither of which work. DivBrt01.gif: MaxIter changed from the default 150 to 500, Color map=blues.map: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt01 or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Fractint/2019-09-15_SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha /DivBrt01.gif DivBrt02: Upper right quadrant of DivBrt01: MaxIter=1000: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt02 Mike Frazier and I enjoy looking into what tendrils do in fractals. They often surprise us: Here are some provided by Jim's dividebrot5 formula: DivBrt03: Lower left corner of DivBrt02: MaxIter=2000, Periodicity=0: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt03 DivBrt04: A little further zoom shows the interesting "tendril activity" better: MaxIter=2000, Periodicity=0: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt04 DivBrt05: The upper tendril pair in DivBrt04: MaxIter=2000, Periodicity=0: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt05 DivBrt06: The upper tendril pair on keeps curling around as you zoom in: MaxIter=2000, Periodicity=0: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt06 DivBrt08: *Click* the image and *scroll* down to see the center of this 4096x3072 gif. When I tried anti-aliasing, it made the narrowest features dim down too much. Also, when the tendril become sub-pixel in size (but you hope for an occasional lucky hit/sample on the tendril,) I think the very dark area of the color map happens just when you want bright pixels to make them show up -- and perhaps MaxIter still isn't high enough. MaxIter=4000, Periodicity=0: http://tinyurl.com/DivBrt08 OK. Enough infinite curling. DivBrt09: The lower convergence of tendrils in DivBrt04: *Click* the image and *scroll* down to see the center. The tendrils pass through/over/under/? each other! Some tendrils in the "swarms" of tendrils coming in from the left and right peter out, likely because I didn't set MaxIter high enough. Note also that the tendril from the left -- after crossing the downward pointing one -- continues on to the right, attempting to meet its mate. Who knows where the downward-pointing tendril is going? Does it, too, have a secret rendezvous?

Twitter fractal posted link in may add Windows commands to your registry
by Harold Lane 14 Sep '19

14 Sep '19

Albrecht sent me a personal email saying: -"In the forum David published a link from -twitter. Watch out ! -It is malware - after erroneously clicking on it -I checked the registry and there were more then 200 (!!!) -entries named twitter, mostly *windows commands*." I happened to not click on the link myself, but I did a search for "twitter" in my registry anyway. I'd forgotten that I have a Twitter account that I don't use, but the number of Twitter entries in my registry was eye-opening. There are so many entries that I'm not able to tell whether I have accumulated any malevolent Twitter entries over time in addition to my account's entries. Albrecht said that he was able to use a utility named "JV tools" to remove his registry's "Twitter Windows Command" entries. I'd be interested to learn whether anyone who: - has *no* Twitter account, and - *did* click on the link David found and posted here has any "Twitter Windows Commands" in their Windows registry. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

please check it out too. A special tip : Slipping & Sliding_101017PQ You will like the driving fractal rhythm simulating a fast ride, as the title suggests. pCloud has an own player with a good gui and sound and even shows the converted fractal image and the IFS image used for scanning.

The recent passing of Stephen Hawking has filled me with a great sense of loss. He was an unbelievable inspiration and explorer of the universes - both inward and outward. This audio fractal, which I first created in 1999, is dedicated to him. "Requiem" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/requiem-1999> Headphones or high quality speakers are recommended. Enjoy!

As you have seen, the time of "pretty" pictures has ended. My theme is and remains interaction -unique and infinite- and part of it is incest and abortion.

22222x34
by Albrecht Niekamp 03 Aug '19

Hi, if time allows I return to my fractint adventures. Lately saw in one of my Mandelzoom videos that most all of the details appear in my mandelcloud zooms. But they are available just by searching for them and you dont have to wait for them. My theme is ithe interaction of mandel instances and not deep zooming. This kind of exploration of course is possible only with the multifractal software, where up to 5 mandel generations are calculated, each one inside of the previous or in addition to others in the neighborhood. No one has ever done that before or is able to repeat it. As it seems no other Fractint Version can do it, Fractint for windows or any other one, Only the virtual XP box from Oracle which does it´s duty reliably since many years, even with the latest Win10 updates. Thank you, Tim for making the archives work again ! ; Having said that, I would be stupid, just to quit and no one will ever know about it. If there is any doubt about the complexity of the basic mandel formula and it´s part in the evolution I have done my part to remove it. The latest image in the NEW section of my archives is 22222x34 and there is a new splash screen, just for fun. ; https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=kZPUCq7Z2R5HjipmhlhitVKhz1hCJFUeugfy ; Albrecht

I just noticed that the fractint list archives are back. I haven't checked to see if there are any gaps. That's good news. At one point I called xmission support, and never got a person, but did get a message about a server down, and a high volume of support requests. If anyone is so inclined have a look and let us know if the archives are complete. I'll do it when I have some time if no one beats me to it. Tim

The latest Mandala
by Albrecht Niekamp 22 May '19

22 May '19

The filename is 51765-05. Zooming into the center this mandala gets more and more complex and interesting, which is quite unsusual. One reason is that I used precise 90 degrees steps for up-right-down left which takes care of a complete symmetry. This is the fifth maximum zoom (see the title). Possibly more tomorrow. ; https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=kZPUCq7Z2R5HjipmhlhitVKhz1hCJFUeugfy ; Albrecht --- Diese E-Mail wurde von AVG auf Viren geprüft. http://www.avg.com

Update 2018-08-05 to SDL version]
by Jonathan Osuch 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Folks, Made text modes ignore the mouse and most function keys. Ignoring the function keys prevents inadvertent video mode changes that crash Fractint. Added size checks for string prompts to prevent overflows when entering string values. Floating point Mandelbrot set code now uses FPU assembly code. The fast parser FPU assembly code still eludes me. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2018-08- 05.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2018 -08-05.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan

Archiving Web Sites; Links
by Harold Lane 10 Mar '19

10 Mar '19

> We are dropping the ball in saving old fractal resources. Thanks for shining a spotlight on this important issue, Roger. Below are a few more links attempting to list some resources that are still available. ========== Fortunately, the link Roger gave for " Jim's FOTD archive" is not the site where Jim actually posted/is posting his FOTDs. The link you gave: https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/index.html is actually where Richard Thomson previously hosted versions of Jim's FOTD images that he rendered at higher resolution (1600×1200) with 3X anti-aliasing. His version of Jim's images had the delicious detail that I always long for in smaller versions of FOTD images. I'm sad that Richard's images are no longer available -- especially with disk storage as inexpensive as it has become. Richard said this about his versions of Jim's FOTD on his blog: http://tinyurl.com/RichardsBigFOTDfractals : https://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/big-fractals-rss-feed-cre ated/ and: http://tinyurl.com/RichardBigFOTDfractalsEnhanced : https://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/jim-muths-fractal-of-the- day-rss-feed-enhanced/ ========== While reading through Richard's blog I found that his blog has valuable entries in his "Categories" sidebar: https://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/ Just now, I ran across a set of larger images that Richard calculated, similar to his now-gone FOTD images, -- of Roger Alexander's -- called "Max Iters Fractal Follies": http://tinyurl.com/RichardsMaxItersFractalFollies : https://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/max-iters-fractal-follies / Richard's versions of Roger's images are fortunately are still available to view. Roger Alexander's Fractint images (originally posted to the Fractint List) rendered by Richard: https://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/maxiter/ Roger Alexander's blog (2010): http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com/ ========== Jim Muth's FOTD was originally hosted on Paul N. Lee's now-defunct server. However, archive.org hosts copies of the pages, including Jim's comments and PARs & Formulas (less most of the images) here: http://tinyurl.com/archveOrgNahee-comJimMuthsFOTD : https://web.archive.org/web/20170706035232/http://www.nahee.com/FOTD/ When Paul became ill and stopped putting Jim's Fractint list FOTD posts and images on his server in November 2010, I started to temporarily calculate Jim's images and put them on my server in a "minimalist" layout -- until Paul returned to put Jim's FOTD posts onto his nahee.com site again. However, as we know, Paul was never able to return to doing this. ========== These are Jim's FOTD images -- starting in November 2010 -- on my site: http://tinyurl.com/HalHostingJimsFOTDnov2010 : http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html In addition to the images I calculated and put onto my site, I initially also hosted Jim's full posts, including the PARs and FRMs from his posts, but I eventually stopped including those, since they were available elsewhere. I was prompted by Jim's interesting fractals and comments to explore them further, and I included images of my "investigations" on my web pages of Jim's FOTD. I calculated them larger than Jim's default 640x480 resolution, and usually anti-aliased them. They really are "investigations" and not intended as, say, candidates for a fractal art gallery. My images try to show the richness of the formulas and color maps that Jim uses in his FOTD images. Note that the links on my site that point to Paul's server ("http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/") are no longer valid. Use this link: http://tinyurl.com/archveOrgNahee-comJimMuthsFOTD to see what archive.org currently has from Paul's server. ========== Jim now has his own personal Fractal of the Day web site (the current official site) at: http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html It's shared with Fractal Lady's (FL's) CrosScan puzzle site and, as of the date of this post, has FOTD posts through March 16, 2015. Jim also reached back and uploaded many of his older FOTD posts, starting with his original FOTD post on April 11, 1997. I also discovered this interesting pre-FOTD entry of Jim's on Paul's archived site -- this page *does* include an important image -- of Jim. Highly recommended. "02 March, 1997 A brief introduction" 'From: The Fractal-Art Discussion List ' here: http://tinyurl.com/JimTheFractalArtDiscussionList : https://web.archive.org/web/20150606070917/http://www.nahee.com/FOTD/Jim_Mut h.html ========== I'd like to emphasize that included within Paul's full fractal site: http://tinyurl.com/archveOrg-NaheeCom-Fractals : https://web.archive.org/web/20170814000151/http://www.nahee.com/Fractals/ at archive.org is a "revised" (by Paul) version of the large *Spanky Fractal Database*. http://tinyurl.com/archveOrgNaheeSpankyFractalDB : https://web.archive.org/web/20161202100319/http://www.nahee.com/spanky "Noel Giffin <noel(a)triumf.ca> maintained the old, original site of this fractal database at spanky.triumf.ca for many years."

I see that some of the links in my last post were chopped in two. Sorry about that. Here they are again, shortened and inserted into a copy of my last post. Fyi, you can actually still use links that have been chopped into two or three pieces: Copy each piece separately from the email, one by one, and carefully paste each one into your web browser's text address bar to re-assemble the full URL. Be careful to not overwrite the previous piece(s) you've pasted there.

More on this is below. Be aware that there is a size limit on files that archive.org is able to host. For example, essentially all the actual *images* of fractals that were on Paul N. Lee's site's web pages are not on archive.org. All his web pages and links on his pages (and smaller PAR and FRM files and collections) appear to be there. However, archive.org may possibly host larger single (non-image?) files... For example, I see that Paul N.

Note that a file in the root directory of a site (like Paul's original site) named: robots.txt can -- perhaps inadvertently -- contain a line that tells search engines (and archive.org) to *not* scan the site. A quick search on: robots.txt examples gives the needed info.

// RE: your recent MIDI file post //

Albrecht, You got a response to your recent MIDI file post from Bill Jemison! Too bad he likely has such poor quality MIDI instrument files... I've not yet been able to listen to his version of your recent MIDI file post with the different instruments he assigned to the channels. I hope you are not too irritated with Bill for his changing the instruments assigned to the MIDI channels on his computer, in your recent MIDI file post. That's always a "danger/feature" of MIDI files... I sent Bill the link you kindly sent me to the higher quality: SGM-VS.01.7z MIDI instruments and instructions. - Hal Comet Nova Star (\__/) (\__/) (\__/) ######################## (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) # hallane(a)earthlink.net (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint <fractint-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com> On Behalf Of Bill Jemison Sent: Monday, March 4, 2019 2:52 PM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] Fractint Hi Albrecht - surprised to see you again, but hope you stick around for a while. I listened to your midi file and, since it is a midi file, it played with the default piano for all channels. I find that to be rather boring.

I know that .mid files are very small, but don't always yield the desired results. By the way, in your absence I have uploaded a few audio fractal files that you might want to check out.

Fractint Formula Collection
by hahjottemm 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

I have collected almost all existing Fractint formulas and organized them with Orgform (Version3.3). In total, there are more than 19300 formulas - without duplicates. (I am not 100% sure that I have taken into account all multifractal formulas. For these formulas I have created a special file, MULT.FRM. Of course, missing formulas can also be inserted manually at any time.) Some formula files had to be split because in some cases Orgform 3.3 can not write all existing formula entries associated with a first letter of the formula name into a single file. Of course, since (starting with the 90s) I searched thousands of postings for frm entries, I can not completely rule out that there are some mistakes (for example, confusion of frm and par entries). But I think the collection now available is a good basis for creating an even better and more complete formula collection. Any suggestion where to upload the ZIP file (about 3.7 MB) to so that everyone can access it? Hans-Joachim Metzger

Running FRACTINT in Windows 10
by Harold Lane 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Mark, Bud, If you are trying to install and run DOS Fractint Ver 20.04 in Windows 10, that's not going to work as is. You have a few options to run DOS Fractint or a Windows-compatible Fractint-type program in Windows 10: Run DOS Fractint "wrapped" in other software environments compatible with Windows 10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- - Install a virtual environment in Windows 10 -- like Oracle's free VirtualBox; then Install Windows XP in your virtual machine; then install DOS Fractint in Win XP. - You could also try running DOS Fractint in a version of DOSBox (running in Windows 10.) Quite a few people like this combination. Tim Wegner recommends the DOSBox Daum version of DOSBox. Windows-compatible Fractint-type programs ----------------------------------------------------------- - You could try Richard's Windows 10 version of Fractint, now called: "Iterated Dynamics" (although he states that it's not for general distribution). It has some features that have not been fully developed. I've used it a tremendous amount -- with a few work-arounds - I also don't use all of its features. Its interface is effectively DOS Fractint's. - You could try Jonathan Osuch's FractSDL Windows version of Fractint, which is also "still in development." It is a very serviceable version -- also with an interface that's essentially DOS Fractint's. Running DOS Fractint in a DOSBox or under Windows XP in VirtualBox give you the original Fractint. I have links and some info on the above options. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint <fractint-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com> On Behalf Of mchris(a)value.net - Webmail Sent: Friday, March 1, 2019 3:36 PM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] FRACTINT Not quite sure how to install this.

sound implementation
by Bill Jemison 02 Mar '19

02 Mar '19

Does anyone know which of the many different versions of fractint going around have full implementation of the sound features that are in the DOS versions? I use DOSBox SVN-Daum to run fractint v.20.04.14 and all the sound features work as expected, but I was wondering if any of the other versions have sound working?

Bill, I'm bad about writing long emails. Sorry. > Thanks for the comments and additional pars. You're very welcome. > …the "boo!" happens at the end of the 35 second write process, when the "goblins" eyes and mouth suddenly appear. Oops. I didn't appreciate that. The version of Fractint I used for BOO! is a non-standard one -- Richard's Fractint for Windows beta 5 -- and, unfortunately, your complete fractal appears instantaneously. It seems that the functionality of "orbitdelay=" is not yet working (or implemented) yet. For a pleasing rate of "pixel plotting speed" -- and music -- one certainly needs to have the orbit delay controlled correctly. When I 1st tried Richard's version of Fractint several years ago, it dropped right into Windows and started running like a champ. It correctly calculated essentially all of Jim Muth's fractals -- and my many variations on them, so I was content to keep using it over the years. More recently, I've worked a little bit with Jonathan on his Windows SDL library-based version of Fractint. . . . . SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a cross-platform . . . . software development library designed to provide . . . . a hardware abstraction layer for computer . . . . multimedia hardware components. And even more recently, Albrecht Niekamp helped me set up Oracle's free Virtual Machine environment, in which I installed WinXP -- which can natively run Fractint in its included DOS environment. So, like your DOS Fractint running in DOSBox SVN-Daum, I now have access to an environment that can run the original DOS Fractint on my Windows 10 computer. But I prefer not having to navigate the hoops of the VM & WinXP to run Fractint and get the images back from that environment -- so I usually run Richard's native Windows version, which works for most Fractint PARs. But not yours, apparently! > Having never used fractint for windows I am not sure what functionality it has. There are no full implementations of DOS Fractint's abilities in a Windows version that I know of. (I know of 3 versions.) As a long-time Windows user, I always keep hoping for a full implementation, and I try to help others who take on that overwhelming re-writing task. Fractint has a very large code base, and is written in an almost unmanageable, archaic style. It's much, much "bigger than a breadbox." Richard and Jonathan have made remarkable progress, but there is more yet to do -- especially in testing the many pieces of relatively-infrequently used code. > I have absolutely no need for rendering speed ... I have always made ample use of orbit delay. For music and certain fractals that "develop" over time, control of the "pixel plotting speed" is certainly desired. My use of anti-aliasing large dimension (higher resolution than the final result's resolution) fractint images often took up hours of pixel calculation -- creating the many image variations of Jim Muth's fractals I posted on my site: https://tinyurl.com/Jim-Muths-Fractal-of-the-Day so "orbitdelay=" wasn't useful for my task. > …the "boo!" actually happens… Is the "BOO!" audio or video? ⇐ ⇐ (I currently have no sound.) > DOSBox SVN-Daum … [is] able to emulate many DOS environments.

Thanks for the comments and additional pars, Hal. I am curious - did you watch the original par as it was being written to screen or just view the end result. I should have mentioned that the "boo!" actually happens at the end of the 35 second write process, when the "goblins" eyes and mouth suddenly appear. Having never used fractint for windows I am not sure what functionality it has. Do any or all of the sound parameters and functions work? Show orbit, orbit delay, etc.? I have found that DOSBox SVN-Daum provides all the functionality that I had in DOS plus the advantage of being able to emulate many DOS environments.

Re: [Fractint] Invitation to Manpwin

For what it's worth, on my Windows 10 system, Windows defender did not complain about ManpWin64bit, and I had no trouble installing the 64 bit version on my system. Also, at Paul's request, I deleted the ManpWin executables in the fractint.net experimental directory, and added links to Paul's versions. Of course this makes sense so that I don't have to update the files whenever Paul makes a new release. See : https://fractint.org/ftp/experimental/ManpWIN.html and appreciate my brilliant html! :-) Also, a tiny footnote probably of interest to almost no one except the geekiest among you . Fractint.net and fractint.org were down since yesterday evening until an hour ago because I am compulsive about updating, and I saw that Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS was available. I ran the do-release-upgrade script that is supposed to be an in-place upgrade, and when I rebooted apache2 was running. This would be fine if I was using apache2, but I am using nginx, and all my web sites were broken. I thought everything was truly hosed. but once I managed to purge apache2, nginx was magically restored, and everything worked. I still have a few minor things to repair that have probably been there for a while. Yes I know, fractint.net is an ancient web site that probably belongs in the Museum of Primordial HTML, if there was such a thing.

Invitation to Manpwin
by marcusadriana＠mls.com.br 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Paul and I invite you to visit the most recent issue of Manpwin dated 08/14/2018 (normally there a new issue every semester). History: Manpwin was originally a fractal site, based on Fractint`s aims and ideas: a free fractal site but then under a Windows `64 bits (Paul de Leeuw appears in Fractint`s list of contributors). During the last 5 years it was gradually increased by a ?dynamic? area incorporating Oscillators with its Attractors and Maps, and even more recently we implemented Surfaces and Knots. ?Dynamic? here has a threefold use: it?s a work-in-progress, has algorithms to move and change all these 1, 2, 3,..10D mathematical entities, and the entities in itself are mathematical models of: physical, chemical, biological, astronomical, psychological, geological, and many other temporally dependent phenomena. What was unusual from the oscillators` papers on these dynamic structures, was that we doubled the number of variables for each attractor, maps and some knots. The trick was the use of the present and past value of the variables. This changed enormously the number of attractors already seen and the connection to real world phenomena got much more complex, IF there is. Another tour-de-force that only mathematics allows, we considered that every 3 used, calculated variables, were under a different coordinates system, 14 in all. That multiplied also the number of attractors to more than 2 million. Anyway, here you can get it in the 32 and 64 bits: http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/SetupManpWIN.exe http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/SetupManpWIN64bit.exe Happy experiment. Paul & Marcus

David, > Sounds like a busy weekend! ;) Getting the mandelbrot assembly code working under windows was less painful that I was anticipating. The already existing 32-bit code worked with a few tweaks related to changing variable sizes and the fix for popping information off the stack. There is still a problem (with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) relating to how the code that displays orbits is handling keystrokes. No crash, it just takes forever for the text screen to show up.

The return address isn't correct? Hmmm. Close. There was a return that wasn't popping data off the stack. I have the mandelbrot assembly code working now under 64-bit Linux. I might try to get it to work under Windows this weekend. Jonathan

David, > Just wondering. Haven't seen anything since 12/26/2017. Still alive > and > progressing? Yes, but slowly. Still working with the Linux version (64-bit). I have the fast mandelbrot code working, but if you have it as the default fractal when you start Fractint, it crashes. It will also crash with key strokes (but not consistently). I have also been working on the fast formula parser, but it currently crashes before an image gets generated. There are several problems that I don't yet have a handle on. The syntax between MASM (old) and NASM (new) is different enough (and similar enough to be confusing) that it isn't always obvious how to change the code. NASM doesn't always seem to function as I would expect. The interface between the 64-bit C code and the 64-bit assembly is not defined as well as it could be in the NASM documentation. Once I get all that straightened out, the Windows code (32-bit) will be a whole new learning experience. Some due to idiosyncrasies mandated by MS. Others due to different variable sizes and pointer sizes. Jonathan

"Peace and Love" - audio fractal w/par
by Bill Jemison 04 May '18

04 May '18

The last audio fractal I uploaded, "Chaos City" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/chaos-city> , was a really chaotic tour of a chaotic town. No filters between raw chaos and your ears. All sorts of semi tones and other strange notes blended together creating what I think is a fairly good aural representation of a fractal calculation. Not necessarily pleasing, in a musical sense, but then, not all visual representations of a fractal calculation are considered pleasing, in an artistic sense. Many, regardless of musical or artistic merit, are interesting nonetheless. I think that appreciation of both is often an acquired taste. Today's audio fractal, "Peace and Love" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/peace-and-love-2018> , is a step in a quieter, more restrained direction. Fractint has several parameters with which the audio output can be modulated. I like to think of them as the audio equivalent of color controls like map files, etc. For "Peace and Love" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/peace-and-love-2018> I chose to use a mapping of the tones which allowed only "C"(1), "E"(5) and "G"(8) notes of the C Major scale to be played. I included two "pause"s in order to add a bit of rhythmic variation and let chaos do its work within the boundarys established. For the mp3 version of "Peace and Love" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/peace-and-love-2018> I used the sounds produced by parameter "x" for one channel and those produced by parameter "y" for the other channel. In addition, I changed the sound parameters for attack decay and sustain to produce a more crisp tone from the "y" channel. If you run the included par file (at 1024x768x256 res please), especially if you can enable some effects, like Concert Hall, etc., you will get an absolutely relaxing monaural version, which, in some ways I still prefer to the uploaded .mp3 file. I know "Peace and Love" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/peace-and-love-2018> is a pretty corny title, but I do find that meditating on both while relaxing to the soothing sounds is hypnotically effective.

"Chaos City" - audio fractal w/par
by Bill Jemison 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Well, there's not much competition for bandwidth right now, so I guess now is as good a time as any to upload an audio fractal. I'm sorry that Albrecht split again since I thought it might be interesting to throw around differing ideas and viewpoints. Perhaps someone(s) else? Anyway, this file is derived from the included .par file. If you run the par file, note that it forces SF7 video mode. If that is not 1024x768x256 on your setup, please restart the par using a 1024x768x256 mode. Also, if you have the capability, use a sound effect such as Concert Hall or Auditorium or similar. Then be sure to listen to "Chaos City" <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/chaos-city> ;}. I used the "x" sound= parameter to produce one side of the stereo file and the "y" parameter for the other stereo channel. (I can't remember which). The par file is for the "x" side. I find that it is best not to try to squirrel audio fractals into your definition of "music". They are meant to be explorations of fractals aurally. Each tone represents a single result in the series of calculations used in determining the color of a single pixel of the visual fractal. Just relax, and let the audio take you where it will. Sometimes "music" happens. I think that there are striking similarities to Jazz in many audio fractals. (While I may call them "Jazz", I'm not sure they are "Music";} ) Enjoy!

It is in assembly language and I thought I would start with something simple like the Mandelbrot set assembly code. Turns out it isn't so simple. I haven't figured out the calling convention for calling a C function from the assembly code. I have it working under Linux in a 64-bit environment, but it crashes whenever the video mode is changed (like on startup). I took a brief look at it under Windows (a 32-bit environment) but it won't assemble and/or doesn't create the correct type of object file to link with. Now that I have a small amount of experience with the current environments and using assembly language, I will try the parser assembly code. It doesn't make any calls to C routines. As a historical note, I had the fast parser assembly code assembling and running with Xfractint but it wouldn't display an image. I never tracked down what the problem was. So, I actually have a reasonable starting point (other than the change from 32-bit to 64-bit). Jonathan

Mandelbrot_Exploration_Test ; Something like this has never been done - 5 different Mandelbrot incidents in one image - and the pictures are new and absolutely unique. Nevertheless there is hardly any feedback. IÂ´m asking myself if it makes any sense to go on, but maybe you just do not want to comment.

Zooms into Albrecht's 2018-03-17 22222X18.GIF image
by Harold Lane 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Albrecht helped me set up WinXP running in Oracle's VirtualBox virtual machine. It's running on my Win10 desktop. WinXP's support of the DOS environment allows me to run DOS Fractint and send the images back to Win10 thru a surprisingly easily set up network share. Below are some zooms into Albrecht's 2018-03-17 22222X18.GIF image. Full size viewing is -- usually -- best. However, the single pixels appear too bright in many of these images. I wish I could anti-alias them all to reduce that effect. My images are investigations. However, the next to the last image I've labeled: "Artistic Image"... I hope you enjoy my "investigations." Albrecht's image: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222X18.GIF The material inside Albrecht's bloody Mandeloid figure at center drew my attention: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H19.GIF The spiky figure at upper left in H19 - enlarged: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H20.GIF In the upper left corner of H20 is a linear structure on a diagonal, here enlarged and rotated to be horizontal: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H21.GIF The purple areas with arms extending from them in H21 and H22 remind me of poorly-formed spiral galaxies with spiral arms that don't wind very tightly: I had reached the maximum zoom capability of DOS Fractint formula precision. http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H22.GIF So, I thought I'd look at the parent fractal of all these images: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H23.GIF Half the parent fractal rotated 90 degrees: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H24.GIF A tiny area bridging the left and right halves on the center line of H24 has two needles poking in from the left and right at the top into a familiar-looking image: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H25.GIF One of the needles in H25: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H26.GIF The structures along the top left end of the needle in H26 are quite colorful -- and in a colorful area: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H27.GIF In the black area on the right in H27 are some purple tendrils: I've always been intrigued by how tendrils in fractals almost always seem to "know" how to avoid one another, while doing a graceful dance acknowledging one another's presence. http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H28.GIF The largest red bay at the bottom of H28 has lots of stuff surrounding and invading it: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H29.GIF Just above the red bay is another quie small needle-like structure (gold and green) extending towards a gold nugget with red velvet surrounding it: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H30.GIF Artistic Image =========== I feel like this image has a little more artistic merit to it: Also, the two nested circles are seemimgly tangent at their lower right, where they are inconveniently interrupted. The circles are bays that have extremely densely packed, high order, tiny bays around their perimeters. Disclaimer: I surgically excised ~12 color map entries of very dark charcoal hues that were inside the black bays. With that solid-black background, the gold and red lace-work feels a bit like gold filigree and cloisonne to me. (Truth be known, I enjoy seeing this image better with it being slightly down-sampled by my browser. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!) I have yet to be able to make Disk Video images in my virtual machine-based DOS Fractint, otherwise, I might anti-alias a version of this image... http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H32.GIF At the far left edge of H32 seemed to be an area worth investigating: It turned out to be the battle-line drawn between two different fractal types. It's hard to say who's going to win... http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/MFR_14_2/22222H33.GIF I'm behind on looking into Albrecht's more recent images. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Sound with Fractint
by Bill Jemison 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

As some of you here know, I have been involved with fractint and its sound producing feature for many years - off and on since the early 1990s. I have always been intrigued with watching the orbits as each point is calculated and listening to the sounds produced by the results of each of those orbital calculations. The earliest iterations of the fractint program only allowed for very rudimentary sounds via the PC speaker - basically buzzes. Back in those days there very few sound cards and they were very expensive and difficult to configure - basically, computers then were just not powerful enough to handle sound adequately and recording to disk was very problematic...i/o just wasn't fast enough. My first recordings were actually made by pulling the PC case off my trusty 286 and dangling a cheap-o Tandy mic (attached to a hand held cassette recorder) over the speaker. My very earliest recordings had audible background noises like TV, dogs, wife, etc. to go with the fan noise. Awkward and ugly. So I was forced to upgrade to a 386w/math coprocessor and a Gravis sound card. Fractint still didn't use the soundcard, but I was able to record. But I wanted more flexibility with the sound and decided that if I could somehow convert .wav files to midi that I could use different midi instruments for playback. I know some of you may be laughing at that desire to do .wav->.mid conversion - I didn't know any better. The fractint development team came to my rescue and we worked to get the orbitsave=sound parameter implemented. Utilizing that feature I was able to sledgehammer together a program that converted that output, utilizing a program I wrote (long lost to hd failure and faulty backups) to produce midi files from fractint output. It was a year long project, the results of which became the "Sounds of Chaos" CD which you can listen to via my audio fractal site. <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/mp3-files/Sounds_of_Chaos_CD> During that same approximate time period the fractint dev team - primarily Tim Wegner, Jonathan Osuch and Robin Bussel - were busy integrating the capability of using sound cards for output, in addition to the pc speaker. This opened up a huge number of sound variables to be played with. I find this output to be far more exciting and "organic" than midi instruments and have thus not tried to resurrect my midi conversion program. As Windows became less and less DOS-friendly my interest in pursuing audio fractals waned and until recently I have done nothing new since around 2003. DOSBox SVN-Daum has changed all that! I'm having fun again and plan to start regularly doing new audio fractals. I hope that there is some modicum of interest in fractint sound somewhere. At least I hope that some of you will take the time to do a bit of exploring with me as I post links and pars. A lot of my older files don't have the par file from which they came associated with them any more. However, all my new ones will be posted as mp3 files along with the fractint par file which was used for the basic sound. Many of them can be run with good results, especially if combined with some atmospherics, such as reverb, concert hall, etc. Cheers!

One of the images created with 5 instances of the mandelbrot. The warp effect is applied to the basic shape using the acos function. ; https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmWYApv7ZBFGgaBnhy67QbIFil28tA ; A new version of the MFR_14_2 frm is in use - completely compatible, so just exchange it. It eliminates (hopefully) the problem that Fractint applies values to the last unused digits of a basic variable,(max 16 digits) that can cause unwanted variations to the image. Jonathan, maybe you can tell me if the "remedy", multiplying all 16 and then truncating the unused digits is effectful. Thank you !

Sylvie Gallet color maps

------ LLOYD GARRICK said: -------------- > I have ALL the Sylvie Gallet maps in my collection (of about 1000). I use them a lot. Do you have a method for viewing your collection of color maps other than trying them out, one by one -- loading them into an image in Fractint? Some time ago, Albrecht and I created a web page that showed a color swatch of all 256 colors in the map for quite a few different color maps. It made use of a 3rd party color map editor -- FintMap by Raymond Filiatreault. We basically just screen-grabbed the color swatch at the bottom of his program's window for each color map when it was loaded into his program. Hey look, FintMap still runs under Win10! https://tinyurl.com/FintMap-viewing-pakman-cmap or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/Fractals/FintMap-viewing-pakman-color-map-sc… If you (or anyone) has any interest, let me know, and I'll try to locate that web page. - Hal Lane ######################## # mailto:hallane@earthlink.net ######################## From: LLOYD GARRICK [mailto:lgarr@colorado-hiking.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 8:30 PM To: Frazier, Mike_Fractint <fractonorg(a)gmail.com>; Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com>; Harold Lane <hallane(a)earthlink.net>; Albrecht Niekamp <xxfractalist(a)outlook.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] InterAction I have ALL the Sylvie Gallet maps in my collection (of about 1000).

Pseudo High Color in Fractint
by Harold Lane 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Bill, You asked: "Is [Sylvie's] methodology similar to your [Albrecht's] multifrac technique?" PHC - Pseudo High Color (and PTC - Pseudo-TrueColor) are essentially dithering. Albrecht does not use dithering. He uses "augmented algorithms" (my term) to calculate each of his pixels. PHC is like rendering fractal A on a chess board's red squares, and fractal B on its black squares. I personally don't think the name "pseudo high color" describes the use of the technique as shown in Sylvie's examples very well. She describes using PHC to do something more like "overlaying two different images." With some work, it might be possible to use the eye's blending of the colors of pairs of adjacent pixels to carefully blend fractint's 255 available colors to have the pairs create a color "in between" those of the 255. I haven't thought about how one would go about doing that in a practical formula, though. Modern computers, displays, and fractal programs don't have the 255 color limitations that the older graphics adapter display modes originally targeted by Fractint. The code has that color depth deeply embedded in it... I eventually located Sylvie's Tutorial on pseudo high color: https://tinyurl.com/phc-tutor or: https://web.archive.org/web/20090101125929/http://spanky.fractint.org/www/fr actint/phc/phc-tutor.html Bill, You also posted: "I need to post a correction - it was actually Lee Skinner who developed the PHC methodology." Excerpt from article by Sylvie Gallet at the link above: "Pseudo-HiColor (PHC) was co-discovered by Jim Deutch, who wrote the very first PHC formula, and Lee Skinner" - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint [mailto:fractint-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Bill Jemison Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 4:18 PM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] InterAction An interesting image - I note that the colors are from Sylvie Gallet.

Mandel_Creation
by Albrecht Niekamp 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Don´t understand, why there is no response to what I´m doing. After all the Mandelbrot is the basic fractal and it is the reason fractals are part of our civilization. ; Many people are interested in the Mandel mystery. Some of them go on a long zooming trip, you all have seen the animations available on youtube, there are some which last more then an hour and have been calculated with supercomputers. Others modify the formula and explore different shapes and sizes, like Edward Montague - is he watching ? Like always I do my own thing and explore interactions between few or many items. For me this is much more interesting, especially as apparently no one has done it before. I´m excited about what I´m going to detect - an absolutely stunning result are today´s images. I tried to use the full Multifractal spectrum, 5 times mandel, to leave no open spaces. Yesterday´s image 22222-01 is the successful result. If you look at image 22222-11 it´s the one where most mandel items meet. Image 22222-13 is a deep zoom into a special spot. Look carefully and you will detect that it in fact is not a chaotic image, there are a lot of "hidden" structures which nowhere alse are available in mandel zooms. And then image 22222-15: It hit me like a bomb, the most beautiful and interesting spiral I´ve ever seen. It contains smaller versions of the previous image too. And then there are circles with new items of reality. Other spirals contain completely different items. I´ve said it earlier: an expression as complex as the mandelbrot must be part of our universe.

First time ever ! After some meditating succeeded to use the full set - 5 times - the Mandel frm in one image. No chaos whatsover, this proves once more that the latest MFR version does exactly what I want it to do. The reason is the precise use of the dots after the comma, that was the main problem in all previous versions. ; https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmWYApv7ZBFGgZ1N5FzILwthjqHeSQ ; -------------------------------Start par------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 222222-01 { ; The_Mandel_Orgy ; 5 Times Mandel in One image ; First time ever ; Time 0.5.11.10 Reso 1280/1024 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=mfr_14.frm formulaname=mfr_14_2 function=sin/exp/exp/sin passes=t center-mag=-0.49417/-0.00421991/0.8853265 params=-0.05825983458967864/0.3785210730307932/22222.64595731338/11111.4\ 911030602/152048.0404808048/384.1604894048/384.0003500001/256.1007683001\ /512.1007683001/768.1007683001 float=y maxiter=3071 inside=maxiter periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 sound=off colors=2000CG<3>068056034022000<8>IF9KHAMJBOLCQMDSOE<8>icNkeOmfP<3>unTwp\ VxqWzsX<25>CB7A96875<3>000400<23>o00q00s00<3>z00<25>C00A00800<3>000<23>f\ ffgggiiijjjlll<3>sss<25>BBB999777<2>222000012<22>0_k0am0bo0cq<3>0jx0kz0j\ x<21>0EI }

Mandel rules

Mandel Rules ; Without doubt this "four letter expression" is the most complex one existing and it just cannot be that it is not in some way part of the creation. To a small part image four shows the complex shapes and variations emerging if several items come near.All black parts of the image are distorted mandel shapes. 20222-01 is a chain of 4 items in one image 20222-05 "Mandscape" 20202-07 is a crazy variation never seen before 20202-09 is snow fractal ? There is an unlimited number of variations of the snow flakes I´ve heard. ; I will not use special links anymore.

Warp_Nine 58484-22
by Albrecht Niekamp 05 Feb '18

Please check this image mailed today. For me it has a fascinating 3d effect which is the reason for the Manowar update menioned in title line of MFR_14-2. This manowar variation creates fascinating 3d views but I just do not know if they are available only on Samsung or Panasonic flat screen tv´s. Thanks for any info. Albrecht

Warp_Nine 3
by Albrecht Niekamp 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Warp_Nine 3 ; Shall we go on with the fascinating Warp_Nine game? Don´t think I´m running out of ideas - just the oppsite: So many that the time is not enough ! Today I applied the effect to the basic frm, the manymods frm. It´s my favorite for many reasons - written in a joint venture by Sylvie Gallet, Linda Allison and David Spanholtzer. It´s extremely versatile, can be used as main shape, outside or inside and mixes perfectly with other frms - today with Magnet and Manowar and can even create structured bands and stripes that are just beautiful. And it can be modified ! Check the pars, took the freedom to present images with different versions of the Warp-effect. 58484-72 is a very special one possible only with the warp effect and extremely high iteration, takes more then an hour with the fast XPDos !

Re: [Fractint] The Riddle

> maybe you have an answer ! I have the answer. The format of the .GIF image file must be corrupted in some way in the color map table. If you Reload <R> the image (as I did) and type <e> <Enter> to open the Color Editor, and then repeatedly type the period key "." look carefully and you will see that Fractint is only rotating/shifting the bottom/lowest 16 colors -- not all 256. The only way that this could happen in so many different versions of Fractint is for the format of the color map inside the image file itself to be nonstandard in some way, that makes Fractint only rotate the bottom 16 colors. The reason that 58484-54.GIF shows no rotation in the image at all, is that the image has no pixels colored with the bottom 16 colors of the color map -- 16 shades of "gold". In the <e> <Enter> the Color Editor, typing repeated "." "Rotate Color Map One Step" commands shows the bottom 16 "gold" colors rotating -- but there are no pixels of those 16 "gold" colors in the image to be rotated, so the image doesn't change at all. I Reloaded <R> both images (58484-54.GIF and 58484-55.GIF) into both these Fractint versions: - Richard's Fractint for Windows beta 5, and - Jonathan's 2018-01-26 SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha and got identical results -- only the bottom 16 colors of the color map can be rotated. The item common to both these tests is your image file that I downloaded from your Dropbox.
