Clear DayBrian, I enjoyed your monochromatic fractals, especially BP_16_41c.png where the overlapping spirals give a feathery feel to the image. =========================================================== Here are three monochrome views of the same scene which is a detail from the FOTD for 8/24/11. http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41a.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41b.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41c.png Brian Prentice =========================================================== - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

FOTD 30-08-11 (Everlasting Majesty [9.5])
by Jim Muth 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

FOTD -- August 30, 2011 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we're still in the same basin as yesterday's image, though we're on a different branch. To find today's scene I backed out of yesterday's image until I came to the minibrot in which it lies. Yesterday's image lies in the main spike area of the minibrot, so to be different, I switched to the East Valley of the minibrot and zoomed in until I found a sub-basin. Today's image shows a point of anti-bifurcation, (a resetting point), in this basin. Once again I spent an unusually long time working on the colors, which earn the image a whopping rating of a 9-1/2. These ratings might be a bit exaggerated, but IMO I earned the full 1-1/2 point coloring bonus. Actually, the time spent on coloring is not all good news. I have more time to work on fractals because, with our biggest commercial customer gone, we have more idle time here at FC. To find the name "Everlasting Majesty" I opened a dictionary at random until two words applicable to fractals came up. The name is really rather appropriate. Whatever fractals are, at least some of them are filled with things such as majesty, splendor, glory, etc. etc. etc. The calculation time is not so glorious however. On my aging 2000mhz machine it takes a full hour to finish. The newer units will finish the job in a fraction of the time, but it would take a super-computer to finish the calculation in a few seconds.

The dynamic duo of fractal cats found full satisfaction in the conditions, though they would have preferred a little more attention from the humans. The dynamic humans made it through another uneventful day uneventfully. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and it's possible to move in any direction in the three spatial dimensions. Why then is it possible to move in only one direction, forward, in the time dimension?

Re: [Fractint] Reading ITERATES.TGA using Java
by Jason Hine 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

@Gerald, @Jonathan, Thanks very much for the helpful replies. I was running version 20.0; I upgraded to 20.04p11 and am now seeing the expected values in my Java program! As my investigations proceed, I'll be sure to share my findings and musings with this mailing-list, in case anyone's curious. Once I have written a program that can take in the TGA produced by Fractint and spit out an ASCII GRID file, I'll begin producing and converting ASCII GRID tiles that I'll stitch together into a surface in the GIS software. I think I'll start with a perfectly reasonable 3x3 mosaic of 1280 x 1024 images, just to get the conversion and stitching process figured out. Once the process is solid, I'll up the ante and aim for, say, a total resolution of 32,768 x 32,768, and we'll see how the GIS software handles 1Gb+... P.s. Very glad to see the FOTD still going, Jim!... How many years has it been? Thanks again, Jason Hine -- Cheers from Mr. Tumnus! "Here... take my handkerchief." Hoofing it bare-chested since 1974.

FOTD 29-08-11 (In-Depth [9.5])
by Jim Muth 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

FOTD -- August 29, 2010 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Some of the recent supposedly 'deep' scenes in the Mandelbrot set have not been all that deep. We correct this minor exaggeration with today's scene, which lies at a depth of over 3*(10^97) -- deep enough to truly be considered 'deep'. The scene is located at the very tip of the longest filament extending from the north side of the large minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. The minibrot lurking invisibly at the center of today's image lies in the basin of a larger minibrot, which lies in the basin of a still larger minibrot, which lies at the fringe of the basin of the large minibrot on the main spike. This means the number of elements 'resets' itself several times on the way to the minibrot. These 'resetting' points often make the most interesting scenes in the very deep regions of the M-set. Today's image is a fine example of resetting, otherwise known as anti-bifurcation. The rating of a 9-1/2 includes 1-1/2 points for the coloring, which took well over one hour to work out. The name "In-Depth" refers to the magnitude of the image, which is so great that at the same scale, the entire Mandelbrot set would spread over a space trillions of times that of the visible universe. Unfortunately, with great quality comes great time, and today's image is no exception. The parameter file requires over 2 hours to finish. The web sites remove this inconvenience however. The official FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition images may be found at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The weather was perfect here at Fractal Central on Monday. The blue sky was decorated by various types of clouds, which never grew thick enough to hide the sun, while the temperature hung around 73F 23C. The fractal cats approved of all this. The humans also enjoyed the day, which left little to be desired and even less to comment on. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and always save the best until last.

Anti-aliased ver. of Jim's "Sandy Beaches" Aug 25, '11 FOTD

29 Aug '11

There's now an anti-aliased version of Jim's "Sandy Beaches" Aug 25, 2011 FOTD on my "HD" site of Jim's FOTD images. Anti-aliased 5x5 1200x900: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/2011-08-25_FOTD_1200_5.jpg Original FOTD at 1200x900: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F110825.gif I like to put the original FOTD and the anti-aliased version in adjacent tabs in my browser and click back and forth between them while studying the image. If I don't have a big enough browser window open to keep the browser from re-sizing the image, I click once in the upper left corner of both images to insure they're full size -- to guarantee that the browser isn't modifying the images while shrinking them to fit its internal window. The anti-aliased version really adds a lot of rich color and nice detail to the fractal, but I'm afraid that it removed the "sampling sand" from the beach. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

FOTD 28-08-11 (Breaking Boundaries [8.5])
by Jim Muth 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

FOTD -- August 28, 2011 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image contains a trick -- I lowered the bailout radius to 2, which cuts off the Mandelbrot set at a maximum radius of 1.414. Then I checked a filament extending from the period-5 bud on the northwest shore line of the main bay, very near the point where the filament disappears behind the shrunken bailout radius. I found a minibrot, then a smaller minibrot in its East Valley area. Finally I chose a filament extending from this even smaller minibrot, found a still tinier minibrot on the filament, and zoomed in. The result appears as today's image. Most of the effect is due to the artificially low bailout radius of 2. To see a more accurate but somewhat less effective version of the scene, recalculate the image with the bailout set to 16. (Preferably at thumb-nail size.) The name "Breaking Boundaries" had something to do with the bailout, but I have forgotten the original connection. The rating of an 8-1/2 seems about right. The calculation time of almost 1-1/2 hours is definitely slow however, so thank goodness for the web sites. The completed image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high definition version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy rain and high winds prevailed Saturday night here at Fractal Central as Hurricane Irene passed by 200 miles to the east. The rain and wind slacked off by midday today, leading to a slowly brightening then clearing afternoon.

The fractal cats ignored the active weather but approved of the temperature of 70F 21C.

Reading ITERATES.TGA using Java
by Jason Hine 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi All, I'm writing a Java program where I want to read in the ITERATES.TGA file produced by Fractint (using truecolor=yes). I am successfully able to read in the TGA header and get the image dimensions and maxiter information; here's my code for that: // read in header info dis.skip(12); b1 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b2 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); xdots = b1 + (b2 << 8); b1 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b2 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); ydots = b1 + (b2 << 8); System.out.println("xdots: " + xdots+ "; ydots: "+ydots); dis.skip(2); b1 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b2 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b3 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b4 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); maxiter = b1 + (b2 << 8) + (b3 << 16) + (b4 << 24); System.out.println("maxiter: " + maxiter); However, the trouble occurs when I try to read in the iteration values -- I think I've determined that there are three bytes per iteration value, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to shift/add the bytes to produce the iteration values I expect to see (1, 2, 3, etc.). Here's the closest I think I may have come to the correct code: b1 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b2 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); b3 = dis.readUnsignedByte(); System.out.println("b1-3 : "+b1+" "+b2+" "+b3); long iteration; iteration = b1 + (b2 <<8) + (b3 << 16); Looping through the entire file, all I ever get back is: b1-3 : 200 153 51 iter : 3381704 It doesn't matter where I am in the TGA file; the values returned never seem to change! Is it possible that my code is working, and the TGA produced by Fractint is simply "flat"? Unfortunately, I don't know of another way to check to see if the TGA actually contains iteration values or not. Any suggestions would be most welcome! Background: I'm writing a program that will read in the ITERATES.TGA file and write out an ASCII GRID file that can then be imported into Esri's ArcGIS (www.esri.com) My eventual goal is to be able to use ArcGIS' spatial analysis tools to analyze some characteristics of the Mandelbrot set. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or helpful responses! Cheers, Jason P.s. Tim, if you're reading this, yes, you helped me back in 1998 with a similar question when I was writing "Deeper" in C++. :-) -- Cheers from Mr. Tumnus! "Here... take my handkerchief."

FOTD 27-08-11 (Iterative Splendor [9])
by Jim Muth 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

FOTD -- August 27, 2011 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: At a magnitude of over 2*10^54, Today's image is deep enough to honestly be called 'deep'. And at a real coordinate of +0.471... it is also located far enough east to be on the easternmost fringe of the Mandelbrot set. The tiny minibrot at the center is a second-order one that lies in the basin of a larger but still tiny minibrot on a filament in the extreme eastern outskirts of the M-set. The convergence patterns around second-order minibrots are subject to several points of anti-bifurcation, which today's image demonstrates to perfection. The name "Iterative Splendor" appeared from nowhere when I turned off my thought processes and let things take their natural course. The name could really be applied to any fractal, though some images certainly do have more splendor than others. The rating of a 9 includes a full point for the coloring, which occupied the better part of one hour. While still slow, the calculation time of 28 minutes is unusually fast for an image of such magnitude. This speed is quite unexpected, since I have seen images of magnitudes around 10^20 that take over 6 hours to finish. Calculation may be totally eliminated by viewing the finished image on the official web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> or on Hal's high-definition site at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Paul's ancient, classic site, with the entire library of images is online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day here at Fractal Central began with clouds and light sprinkles. The clouds and sprinkles continued through the day, with the forecast of heavier rain and wind arriving during the night. No fractal cat ever lets a little wind disturb him, so our fractal cats spent the day undisturbed. The lack of enough attention always annoys them however. The fractal people spent the day enjoying one of the slow days that are becoming more frequent since our biggest customer went away. Tomorrow will probably be a repeat. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when we say 'science says' we mean that men who call themselves scientists have determined the truth of the claim through repeated trial and error.

FOTD 26-08-11 (The Test of Time [6.5])
by Jim Muth 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

FOTD -- August 26, 2011 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image departs from the deep theme of the month, but have no concern. Tomorrow's image will return to the theme in style. The parent fractal came about when I iterated the expression Z^(2.23)+C at a level 2.3 turns up the hyperspiral with the 'recip' function applied. This parent is a sprawling, amorphic thing that looks nothing at all like the pure Z^(2.23)+C Mandeloid as it is drawn by the 'manzpower' formula. Today's scene is located in the interior of what might be considered a Seahorse Valley, though its features bear little resemblance to what one would expect to find in a proper Seahorse Valley. To begin, the part angular, part parabolic holes in the image are nowhere to be found in the familiar Seahorse Valley. And nownere in the Mandelbrot set do we find the discontinuities that fill today's image. The minibrot at the center is a reflection of the shape of the parent Mandeloid. Recognizing the various parts is virtually impossible. The minibrot would be somewhat better defined if it were calculated with a greater maxiter, but doing this spoils the already-shaky color scheme. The rating of a 6.5 indicates that I am somewhat disappointed with the image. When I named the image "The Test of Time" I was pondering the fact that even if the entire universe were to suddenly disappear, this particular scene would exist in potentia for all eternity. The calculation time of 8-3/4 minutes is slow by everyday standards, but quite fast by very-deep-math standards. The completed image is posted for instant viewing at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic original web site is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Picture perfect weather prevailed at Fractal Central today. In fact, with its temperature of 84F 29C, kodachrome blue skies and billowing cumulus clouds, the day could have passed for a day in the Caribbean. The fractal cats, who have spent their lives in Pennsylvania, wouldn't know a tropical-island day from a day in the Arctic. They were more interested in watching an unfamiliar new black-and-white cat that passed through. The humans passed most of the day watching the over-hyped doomsday weather forecasts on the various news-and-commercial channels. IMO, the storm will be less devastating than the news people are implying. Here in central Pennsylvania we are expecting little more than a gusty rain on Sunday. Things could be worse however back at Old Fractal Central down in Central Maryland, where my sister still resides. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the wise old hermit on the mountain top told me that if I work hard enough, I might be a Boltzmann brain some day.

Here are three monochrome views of the same scene which is a detail from the FOTD for 8/24/11. http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41a.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41b.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_41c.png Brian Prentice
