Fractal Poster Master
Version 1.1
(C)opyright 1992, Shawn Pourchot
----------------------------------
SETUP
~~~~~
1. Copy files to your utilities directory
2. Drag Fractal Poster Master icon into a folder
3. Double click on icon to execute
SO WHAT DOES IT DO?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Calculates the Mandelbrot set from a specified position
and increment.
2. Can print many pages of the set to your default printer.
3. You can assemble the pages together and form a gigantic
poster!
4. Allows you to view the set as its calculating in a
sizable box to home in on a good spot to print.
PRINTING
~~~~~~~~
1. The check box "Printer" is checked when the page will be
dumped to your default printer. This can be checked or
unchecked any time during the calculation.
2. The "Page Size" parameters are initialized to the highest
resolution of you default printer. You can change these
values and at print time the program will scale the fractal to
fit the entire page. Scaling can be used to reduce the
calculation time or save memory.
3. I found a file of 960 X 1584 (8.5 X 11.0 inch Dot matrix) is
about 180K when placed in the print manager, so watch your
memory and/or disk space for huge posters.
4. The "Image Pages" parameters are the number of printer pages
you want the image to be. It prints all the rows in a column
first before moving to the next column. This is very useful
for fanfold paper printers.
5. "Current Page" refers to the current page that is being
calculated and is being filled in the adjacent window. The
Percentage at the bottom refers to the % of the page completed.
6. "Time" is the starting time for the entire poster, and when
completed the finish time. Useful for estimating when your
poster will be finished for those over night runs.
