Short: 3.0/AGA WB/PubScreen Fractal program
Uploader: tkreuzer@delphi.com
Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com
Features
--------
Opens on the default public screen (initially the Workbench)
Usable on any screen with at least 2 "free" pens
Avoids usage of all pens already "obtained" upon program start
(i.e., AmigaDOS 3.0 "Protected Pen" compliant)
Separate user interface and drawing windows
Resizable drawing window with point-and-click Zoom-In and
centering functions
Adjustable Zoom-Out function
Contents of drawing window can be saved to a standard IFF/ILBM file
Full GadTools Intuition interface
Supports the following types of fractals:
- Mandelbrot
- Julia Set
- Magnetism
- Lambda Exponential
- Lambda Cosine
- Biomorph
- Plasma
All math done in double precision floating point
Separate versions for:
- 68020 without FPU (stock A1200 and A4000/030)
- 68020 with FPU (improved A1200 and A4000/030)
- 68040 (stock A4000/040)
"Smart" iconify function
Help text (displayed on screen banner) for the Zoom In and Center
actions
Recommended for use with my PaletteTool and PST programs(!)
Tested OK using the Enforcer
Limitations
-----------
Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)
Requires AmigaDOS 3.0+ and the AGA chipset
FPU (68881/68882) highly recommended for maximum enjoyment!
Designed for use with higher-resolution screen modes (640x400 and
higher). Note that this does NOT mean the program will not work
on lower-resolution screens. What it DOES mean is that you may
find the programs windows take up a lot of screen "real estate"
on lower-resolution screens
For some reason, the program leaves 104 bytes allocated when it
terminates. I have been unable to ascertain exactly where this
memory is not being freed
