#23090 — loading settings from `window.location.href'...

I am doing an experiment wrt deriving state from a URL into settings for my
online circle intersection explorer program. I was wondering if you all
could give it a whirl...?

Anyway, here is a link for a fractal that resembles a spiral galaxy:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/khs5aza


Now, when the `Render' button is clicked, you should see a series of dots. A
spiral form is not apparent at this level of iteration. So, go ahead and
manually set the `Iters' count to 12-15 or so, and render it. I limited the
level of iterations a user can pass in via URL to 8. Well, that is not
enough to see the given test fractal at a sufficient level of detail. I was
worried about allowing a user to accidently pass a URL with a high iteration
count!

This code is 100% raw, and in a totally experimental stage. However, it
seems to work for me on several browsers...

My question is, does it work for you in any way shape, or form?

:^O



Thanks!

:^)



FWIW, here is the link in expanded form:

Live rendering would solve that problem, though it will be slower to complete

What's with the "g_html_" prefixes?

Yes. I would have to create a little stack machine to handle the recursion.

It would take longer to complete. AFAICT, this warrants another checkbox,
probably labeled "animate". Humm...

Great! Thank you so much for actually using it.

Well, I created a namespace for HTML elements. I know its terribly
verbose, but it keeps things clearer to me wrt separating HTML
element names from internal scripting...

I also apologize for all of the commented code. I forgot to remove
it before I allowed it to go "live"!

Here is a von Koch like fractal:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/m7s37er

In order to see it, set the iters count to around 13.

There should be an alert that pops up warning about a URL parse limitation 
because the linked url has 13 for the iteration count, and the parser has a 
limit of 8.

Can you see it?

You need to click the "Render" button in order to compute the settings 
derived from the URL.

I see something, but it doesn't look like any von Koch fractal I've ever seen. looks like a vague intersection of two triangles containing a 5 sided star figure.

Yikes! I accidentally posted the wrong link. Sorry about that.

This is more of a root attractor space filling curve.

Something like:

Here is a much more recognizable von Koch fractal:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/m7hp2c7

Crank up the iters to about 13-14 and click render.


FWIW, The link posted to before is the result real circle
intersections, and the corrected link is the result
of estimating circle intersections.

These are rendering as I'd expect (Fx 28.0)

I still think you need to reduce the size of the url.

Thank you for double checking it Michael!

:^)


> I still think you need to reduce the size of the url.

Absolutely Agreed.

I am going to create a little index that maps an unsigned
integer into an actual element id. Therefore the parser
derives its indexes from a url where the resulting values
are used to lookup the actual html elements that are
ultimately going to contain the related data in said url.
All of the resulting parsed input values are checked
against the rules that happen to apply to the type of
"valid input" that the mapped html element "expects".

It should be a very straightforward parser, that will result
in a massive compression ratio, when compared to the
"radically verbose" method I am using now!

FWIW, here is a link that creates the Dragon fractal:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/m9v8wj3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve

Crank up the iters to around 14 and click render.



Well, I can't believe that a von Koch curve:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/m7hp2c7

and a Dragon fractal are both hiding within my
circle intersection estimation algorithm. I sure
did not put them there on purpose!

:^)



Alas, I have not shortened the length of the url yet, but
that is on the list of to-do items.

Here is an interesting Pythagorean tree fractal generated
by my pre-alpha "Thomason's Turbulent Ring's" (TTR) fractal
explorer online program:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/m7zcuds


Wow... So far, there are three established fractals that exist
within my circle intersection estimation algorithm!

AWESOME!!!

Ummmm... I fuc%ing misspelled my last name!!!!! :

That should read as:

"Thomasson's Turbulent Ring's"

Two s' in Thomasson!

Damn it!!!
