binary decomposition

[edit | edit source]
comment {

  This file contains standard coloring algorithms for Ultra Fractal 3.
  Many of the coloring algorithms here were written by other formula
  authors, as noted in the comments with each formula. All formulas
  have been edited and simplified by Frederik Slijkerman.
  
}

; from standard.ucl

; Use low bail-out values in the fractal formula (if possible) for

; the gradient: one from the left end and one from the middle.

field lines

[edit | edit source]

"There's a later version of my formula for field lines - though somewhat extended to include smooth iteration, distance estimation and distance estimation angles in my class formulas for UF - mmf.ulb called "MMF Field Estimator" It's a UF class formula so not quite so easy to follow but I think it should be clear enough. I boiled down "corrections" to field lines that work in most places but at the moment require manual adjustment to work properly - these are the two parameters that can be modified by the user to fix errors in the field lines, unfortunately you can't always fix them everywhere in view even then but this is about as close as you can get I think. I tried including the MMF Field Lines code here but unfortunately it's too long, it's in mmf.ulb in te Ultra Fractal Formula database at: http://formulas.ultrafractal.com/ " David Makin 

MMF3-FieldLines {
;
; This version of calculating field lines will work reasonably well with both
; Mandelbrot and Julia Sets for divergent fractals with a divergence that is
; close to being a positive integer >=2 but can also produce quite interesting
; results with fractals that do not fit that criteria - just not rendering the
; field lines correctly in other cases :-)

equirectangular project by pauldelbrot[4] 

float lon = real(#pixel)
float lat = imag(#pixel)
IF ((|lon| > 4) || (|lat| > 1))
  #solid = true
ELSE
  lon = lon * 0.5 * #pi
  lat = (lat * 0.25 + 0.25) * #pi

Description

  • Outside the rectangle will be black (or whatever the transform solid color is set to).
  • The rectangle will be in -2 to 2 horizontally and -1 to 1 vertically, so with magnification 1 and center 0 and a 2:1 image aspect ratio it will exactly fill the image rect.
  • Inside the rectangle will be an equirectangular projection of the Riemann sphere.
  • The #pixel= assignment actually does the transform. The RHS of that assignment is just a final polar-to-cartesian conversion.
  • The (0,1) constant is i, the square root of minus one.

troubledTree4 by pauldelbrotfractalforums.org: ultrafractal histogram-de-coloring 

a very dense location in the Mandelbrot set, which I have used as a test for various DE methods in the past. This method has given the overall best result here, with one caveat: the spiral centers are too dark, losing detail of  the very center of each one, likely because the sampling grid misses points this close and they are not included in the histogram. With the default settings, this image is computed at 200 megapixels in a day and a half on decent modern hardware; with a higher sampling density it would be significantly slower still.

Coloring algorithms:

  • are stored in coloring algorithm files (*.ucl). Each file can contain multiple coloring algorithms.
  • define how fractals are colored. The fractal formula creates the basic shape of the fractal, and coloring algorithms provide ways to color that shape. This gives you the flexibility to freely combine coloring algorithms with any fractal formula.

Examples: 

Mu-Ency(OUTSIDE) {
;
; Hybrid direct colouring scheme combining dwell, binary decomposition and distance estimator.
;
; Written by Aleph0, based on an algorithm designed by Robert Munafo and documented here:
;
;	http://mrob.com/pub/muency/color.html
;
; See also his examples of hybrid colouring schemes:
;
;	http://mrob.com/pub/muency/demdwellhybrid.html
;	http://mrob.com/pub/muency/binarydecomposition.html
;
; The above pages are part of Robert's Mu-Ency Encyclopedia of the Mandelbrot Set web site:
;
;	http://mrob.com/pub/muency.html
;
; This is a good colouring scheme to use when exploring and studying the structure of the Mandelbrot Set at deep zoom levels, as the distance
; estimator scales automatically to reflect the zoom level and the colouring effects are subtle enough to not detract from the filament detail.
; Conventional colouring approaches that use dwell and a wide colour pallette can be problematic at deep zoom levels, as they introduce excessive
; noise that tends to obscure the structure of the set's connecting filaments.
;
; I have followed Robert's general design, but implemented the following user-configurable settings for individual elements of the scheme. The
; default settings match the style used for most of the images hosted at the Mu-Ency web site.
;
;	- Binary decomposition (checker-board) effect can be switched on or off (default = on).
;	- Dwell band lightening can selected for either odd or even numbered stripes (default = odd).
;	- Rainbow effect can be switched on or off (default = off).
;	- Distance estimator filament widths can be scaled (multiplier values 0.01-100, default = 1).
;	- Dwell colour slope is adjustable (log base selectable 2.0-1000000.0, default 80).
;	- Dwell colour pallette starting point can be rotated (range 0.0-6.0, default 0).
;
; NOTE: Set Inside Solid Colour = White to match the style used for most of the images hosted at the Mu-Ency web site.

;	- Blend outside and near colours. On = blend, off = use near colour directly. Both effects can be useful, dependent on the colour
;	combinations selected.
;	- Distance estimator filament widths can be scaled (multiplier values 0.01-100, default = 1).
;
; NOTE: Use Solid Colour setting in the Inside and Outside layer property pages to set the fill colour for inside and outside the set, 
; respectively. Select same colour for inside set and near set for monochrome renderings, e.g. to .
