All of the pictures in this directory were created with a greater
than 256 colour palette. Each picture has been rendered in a number of
different resolutions, in an effort to cater to all tastes. Each different
resolution drawer contains a complete set of pictures.
Each pictures is stored as a standard IFF24 ILBM, and can therefore
be loaded by TrueBrilliance, ADPro, Mand2000 or any other program that can
read 24-bit IFF images.
None of the images are stored in HAM, HAM8 or 256 colour modes
because the number of different versions would be too great and too
wasteful, and because Mand2000 can load and display IFF24 images on all
machines.
Each picture file also contains location information, so that you
can load these pictures into Mand2000 (just double click on the picture's
icon to run Mand2000 and load it in) and continue exploring from that
location. Also saved with each picture is the iteration data - the actual
raw fractal data used to colour the pictures. This means that you can
change the palette, the number of colours, the number of iterations, even
the rendering mode, and the pictures will redraw almost instantaneously,
without having to recalculate. However, once you change the resolution or
start exploring, a recalc will be necessary.
The one exception to all this is the FrameStore images. These are
stored, oddly enough, as Toaster FrameStores, for use with the NewTek Video
Toaster. As such, they don't have any location or iteration information in
them.
The ARexx script calcsequence.mnd2 was used to calculate all of
these pictures in all these resolutions automatically.
