10/23/2002 Two-dimensional 'traversal' of parameter space. For examples for boundary fractal paper.

To make a montage, use the command line.

(discriminate-montage (&key
(draw-radius 150)
(start-d 1.1)
(start-a 0.1)
(num-d 4)
(num-a 4)
(d-inc .02)
(a-inc .1)
(save-parameters nil)
(margin 10))

If save-parameters is t:

Will write above parameters to "parameters.txt" file in the write directory.
Will make a sub directory - param - and write the parameters files for all of the fractal images there.
Otherwise, it will just display the montage without saving anything.

Examples:

(discriminate-montage :start-d 1.1 :save-parameters t)

To make the images, use
**fractal generate** / folder / make filled images
/ make outline images
param folder is the read directory.
make a folder for the images, set as write directory
To blob the images:
make a blob directory & set it.
set images folder as read directory.
'TOOLS / blob'
default parameters are OK.
'TOOLS / process folder'
Files in folder / Blob
To get Db measurements for the images:
* process folder * / Files in folder / blob stats to file.
To make a spreadsheet:
Make a marks file from the parameter files:
*fractal generate* / folder / marks file
Merge the marks folder (which has a and Db values used to draw
the fractals) with the blob stats folder:
'TOOLS / Spreadsheets / Spreadsheet / Merge'
which makes a 3rd spreadsheet (text, tab delimited).
