#
# The format of this catalog is identifier[blanks]"value"[blanks]
#
# Identifier is a key used by the program. Do not translate it!  Only
# translate the value.  If you want a quote character `"' in the text,

# If you wish to translate this file into any new language, please let
# me know. You should translate this text freely: you don't need to use
# exactly the same sentences as here, if you have idea how to make text
# more funny, interesting, or add some information, do it.
#
# You can use longer or shorter sentences, since XaoS will automatically
# calculate time for each subtitle.
#
# Also, please let me have any suggestions for improving this text and
# the tutorials.
#
# Tutorial text needs to fit into a 320x200 screen. So all lines must be
# shorter than 40 characters.  This is 40 characters:

# And thats not much! Be careful!
# Please check that your updated tutorials work in 320x200 to ensure

fmath "The math behind fractals"
fmath1 "Fractals are a very new field
of math, so there are still lots
of unsolved questions."
fmath2 "Even the definitions are not clean"
fmath3 "We usually call something a fractal 
if some self-similarity can be found"


def1 "One of the possible definitions is..."
#Definition from the intro.xaf is displayed here.
#If it is a problem in your langage catalog, let me
#know and I will create a special key
def2 "What does this mean?"
def3 "To explain it we first need
to understand what the topological and
Hausdorff Besicovich dimensions are."

topo1 "The topological dimension
is the \"normal\" dimension."
topo2 "A point has 0 dimensions"
topo3 "A line has 1"
topo4 "A surface has 2, etc..."

hb1 "The definition of the
Hausdorff Besicovich dimension
comes from the simple fact that:"
hb2 "A line that is zoomed so that it doubles
in length is twice as long as it was."
hb3 "On the other hand, the size
of a square that is similarly zoomed
grows by four times."
hb4 "Similar rules work in higher
dimensions too."
hb5 "To calculate dimensions from
this fact, you can use the
following equation:"
hb6 "dimension = log s / log z
where z is the zoom change and
s is the size change"
hb7 "for a line with zoom 2,
the size change is also 2.
log 2 / log 2 = 1"
hb8 "for a square with zoom 2,
the size change is 4.
log 4 / log 2 = 2"
hb9 "So this definition gives
the same results for normal shapes"
hb10 "Things will become more interesting
with fractals..."

hb11 "Consider a snowflake curve"
hb12 "which is created by repeatedly
splitting a line into four lines."
hb13 "The new lines are 1/3 the size of
the original line"
hb14 "After zooming 3 times, these lines will
become exactly as big as the
original lines."
hb15 "Because of the self similarity created
by the infinite repeating
of this metamorphosis,"
hb15b "each of these parts will
become an exact copy of the original
fractal."
hb16 "Because there are four such copies, the
fractal size grows by 4X"
hb17 "After putting these values in equations:
log 4 / log 3 = 1.261"
hb18 "We get a value greater than 1
(The topological dimension
of the curve)"
hb19 "The Hausdorff Besicovich dimension
(1.261) is greater than the
topological dimension."
hb20 "According to this definition, 
the snowflake is a fractal."

defe1 "This definition, however, is not
perfect since it excludes lots of
shapes which are fractals."
defe2 "But it shows one of the
interesting properties of fractals,"
defe3 "and it is quite popular."
defe4 "The Hausdorff Besicovich dimension
is also often called a 
\"fractal dimension\""

escape "The math behind fractals

chapter 2 - Escape time fractals"
escape1 "Some fractals (like snowflake)
are created by simple subdivision
and repetition."
escape2 "XaoS can generate a different
category of fractals - called
escape time fractals."
escape3 "The method to generate them
is somewhat different, but is also
based on using iteration."
escape4 "They treat the whole screen as
a complex plane"
escape5 "The real axis is placed horizontally"
escape6 "and the imaginary is placed vertically"
escape7 "Each point has its own orbit"
escape8 "The trajectory of which is calculated
using the iterative function, f(z,c)
where z is the previous position and c
is the new position on the screen."
escape9 "For example in the Mandelbrot
set, the iterative function is z=z^c+c"
orbit1 "In case we want to examine
point 0 - 0.6i"
orbit2 "We assign this parameter to c"
orbit3 "Iteration of the orbit
starts at z=0+0i"
orbit3b "Then we repeatedly calculate
the iterative function, and we
repeatedly get a new z value for
the next iteration."
orbit4 "We define the point that belongs to the
set, in case the orbit stays finite."
orbit5 "In this case it does..."
orbit6 "So this point is inside the set."
orbit7 "In other cases it would
go quickly to infinity."
orbit8 "(for example, the value 10+0i
The first iteration is 110, 
the second 12110 etc..)"
orbit9 "So such points are outside the set."

bail1 "We are still speaking about
infinite numbers and iterations
of infinite numbers..."
bail2 "But computers are
finite, so they can't
calculate fractals exactly."
bail3 "It can be proved that in the
case where the orbit's distance from
zero is more than 2, the orbit
always goes to inifinity."
bail4 "So we can interrupt calculations
after the orbit fails this test.
(This is called the bailout test)"
bail5 "In cases where we calculate points
outside the set, we now need just a
finite number of iterations."
bail6 "This also creates the colorful
stripes around the set."
bail7 "They are colored according to the
number of iterations of orbits needed
to fall in the bailout set."
iter1 "Inside the set we still
need infinite numbers of calculations"
iter2 "The only way to do it is to interrupt
the calculations after a given
number of iterations and
use the approximate results"
iter3 "The maximal number of iterations
therefore specifies how exact 
the approximation will be."
iter4 "Without any iterations you would create
just a circle with a radius of 2
(because of the bailout condition)"
iter5 "Greater numbers of iterations makes
more exact approximations, but
it takes much longer to calculate."
limit1 "XaoS, by default, calculates
170 iterations."
limit2 "In some areas you could zoom for a
long time without reaching this limit."
limit3 "In other areas you get
inexact results quite soon."
limit4 "Images get quite boring
when this happens."

of iterations, you will get lots of new
and exciting details."

calculated using different formulae
and bailout tests, but the method
is basically the same."
