comment { FRACTINT.DOC has instructions for adding new formulas to this file. There are several hard-coded restrictions in the formula interpreter: 1) The fractal name through the open curly bracket must be on a single line. 2) There is a hard-coded limit of 200 formulas per formula file, only because of restrictions in the prompting routines. 3) Formulas can containt at most 250 operations (references to variables and arithmetic); this is bigger than it sounds, no formula in the default fractint.frm uses even 100 3) Comment blocks can be set up using dummy formulas with no formula name or with the special name "comment". The formulas at the beginning of this file are from Mark Peterson, who built this fractal interpreter feature. The rest are grouped by contributor. (Scott Taylor sent many but they are no longer here - they've been incorporated as hard-coded types. Lee Skinner also sent many which have now been hard-coded.) Note that the builtin "cos" function had a bug which was corrected in version 16. To recreate an image from a formula which used cos before v16, change "cos" in the formula to "cosxx" which is a new function provided for backward compatibility with that bug. } Mandelbrot(XAXIS) {; Mark Peterson ; Classical fractal showing LastSqr speedup ; TW modified to allow inside= options to work correctly z = Pixel, y = Sqr(z): ; Start with z**2 to initialize LastSqr z = y z = z + Pixel y = Sqr(z) ; z is still the orbit value for inside=bof60 LastSqr <= 4 ; Use LastSqr instead of recalculating } Dragon (ORIGIN) {; Mark Peterson z = Pixel: z = sqr(z) + (-0.74543, 0.2), |z| <= 4 } Daisy (ORIGIN) {; Mark Peterson z = pixel: z = z*z + (0.11031, -0.67037), |z| <= 4 } InvMandel (XAXIS) {; Mark Peterson c = z = 1 / pixel: z = sqr(z) + c; |z| <= 4 } DeltaLog(XAXIS) {; Mark Peterson z = pixel, c = log(pixel): z = sqr(z) + c, |z| <= 4 } Newton4(XYAXIS) {; Mark Peterson ; Note that floating-point is required to make this compute accurately z = pixel, Root = 1: z3 = z*z*z; z4 = z3 * z; z = (3 * z4 + Root) / (4 * z3); .004 <= |z4 - Root| } comment { The following are from Chris Green: These fractals all use Newton's or Halley's formula for approximation of a function. In all of these fractals, p1 real is the "relaxation coefficient". A value of 1 gives the conventional newton or halley iteration. Values <1 will generally produce less chaos than values >1. 1-1.5 is probably a good range to try. P1 imag is the imaginary component of the relaxation coefficient, and should be zero but maybe a small non-zero value will produce something interesting. Who knows?
