Another Oops! In my post Paul N.Lee's Questions and Oops! there is a poorly worded sentence. What reads "The Disk/RAM entries in fractint.cfg can be edited in Notepad to provide custom resolutions.I copied some lines from the default Fractint.cfg as an example.The new cfg file must be saved in the old txt format. " should read "The Disk/RAM entries in fractint.cfg can be edited in Notepad to provide custom resolutions.I copied some lines from the default Fractint.cfg as an example.The new cfg file must be saved in the ANSI text format with the "cfg" extension (without the quotation marks)" Why do I notice these things only after I post something? Today's fractals demonstrate the initorbit command. Press the G key which brings up the interactive startup parameter screen to enter values.These instructions were taken from the Fractint manual. "Enter values in the form INITORBIT=pixel INITORBIT=nnn/nnn Allows control over the value used to begin each Mandelbrot-type orbit. "initorbit=pixel" is the default for most types; this commandi initializes the orbit to the complex number corresponding to the screen pixel. The command "initorbit=nnn/nnn" uses the entered value as the initializer." I start with values between +.5 and -.5, initorbit=pixel resets to default behaviour This command appears to work on built in mandel formulas only, Julias are unchanged.The included pars are of a mandel and a mandellamda. fract011.gif { ; initorbit - mandellambda ; new ; calctime 0:16:30.44 ; created Apr 01, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=mandellambda center-mag=+0.82893757196495510/-0.59898823372287160/323.1126 params=0/0 initorbit=0.9/-0.8 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 colors=000302403503504604705805806907A07B08B08C09D1AE1AF1BF1BG1CH1CI1DI1\ EJ1EK1FL1FL1GM1GN1HO2IN2KM2NK2QJ2TH2VG2YE2`D2cB1fA1i81l71n51q41t21w00z03\ z07z0Bz0Fz0Jz0Nz0Rz0Vz0Zz0bz0fz0jz0nz0rz0vz0zz0xz0vz0tz0rz0pz0nz0lz0jz0h\ z0fz0dz0bz0`z0Zz0Xz0Wz0Uz0Sz0Qz0Oz0Mz0Kz0Iz0Gz0Ez0Cz0Az08z06z04z02z00z00\ y10x20v20u30s40r50p50o61n71l81k91i91hA1gB1eC1dC1bD1aE1_F1ZF1YG1WH1VI1TJ2\ SJ2RK2PL2OM2MM2LN2JO2IM2GJ2EH2CE1AC18916614312000101302503605806A07C19D1\ 9E1AF1AF1BG1BH1CI1DI1DJ1EK1EL1FL1FM1GN1HO2IO2JQ2IS2HV2GX2F_2Da2Cd2Bf2Ah1\ 9k18m17p15r14u13w12z00z20z50z70zA0zC0zF0zH0zK0zM0zP0zR0zU0zX0zZ0za0zc0zf\ 0zh0zk0zm0zp0zr0zu0zw0zz0zw0zu0zr0zo0zl0zj0zg0zd0za0z_0zX0zU0zS0zP0zM0zJ\ 0zH0zE0zB0z80z60z30z00x01v02s03q04n06l07i08g19e1Ab1B`1CY1EW1FT1GR1HO2JN2\ IM2HK2GJ2FH2DG2CE2BD2AB19A18817715514413212000000101201 } fract013.gif { ; Mutant Mandelbrot ; initorbit shenanigans - new ; calctime 0:24:22.43 ; created Apr 01, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=+0.24889822951726230/+0.56666319333201880/1821.096/1/-17.4999\ 999999968807/-2.98933794384836915e-012 params=0.9977416302987762/-0.5942258980071413 initorbit=-0.6/0.5 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 colors=000302403503504604705805806907A07B08B08C09D1AE1AF1BF1BG1CH1CI1DI1\ EJ1EK1FL1FL1GM1GN1HO2IN2KM2NK2QJ2TH2VG2YE2`D2cB1fA1i81l71n51q41t21w00z03\ z07z0Bz0Fz0Jz0Nz0Rz0Vz0Zz0bz0fz0jz0nz0rz0vz0zz0xz0vz0tz0rz0pz0nz0lz0jz0h\ z0fz0dz0bz0`z0Zz0Xz0Wz0Uz0Sz0Qz0Oz0Mz0Kz0Iz0Gz0Ez0Cz0Az08z06z04z02z00z00\ y10x20v20u30s40r50p50o61n71l81k91i91hA1gB1eC1dC1bD1aE1_F1ZF1YG1WH1VI1TJ2\ SJ2RK2PL2OM2MM2LN2JO2IM2GJ2EH2CE1AC18916614312000101302503605806A07C19D1\ 9E1AF1AF1BG1BH1CI1DI1DJ1EK1EL1FL1FM1GN1HO2IO2JQ2IS2HV2GX2F_2Da2Cd2Bf2Ah1\ 9k18m17p15r14u13w12z00z20z50z70zA0zC0zF0zH0zK0zM0zP0zR0zU0zX0zZ0za0zc0zf\P 0zh0zk0zm0zp0zr0zu0zw0zz0zw0zu0zr0zo0zl0zj0zg0zd0za0z_0zX0zU0zS0zP0zM0zJ\ 0zH0zE0zB0z80z60z30z00x01v02s03q04n06l07i08g19e1Ab1B`1CY1EW1FT1GR1HO2JN2\ IM2HK2GJ2FH2DG2CE2BD2AB19A18817715514413212000000101201 } The completed fractals are on my blog at http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________________________ IM on the go with Messenger on your phone http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9712960
