Unfortunately, the power ; went off again before I could post the FOTD, and just now, ; 10:15pm, has come back on for good . . . I hope.) ; ; With no time to search for an outstanding fractal, I had to ; settle on a run-of-the-mill high-iteration midget located in a ; remote valley of the Mandelbrot set. I named the image "Screw ; Propeller". I gave it this name because the elements around the ; midget remind me of a ship's propeller, and not as an insult to ; some imaginary fellow named 'propeller'. ; ; Since the scene is in the classic M-set, and the midget happens ; to be the first one I came to, I have rated the picture a ; perfectly average 5. The only really unusual feature of the ; image is the high maxiter of 100,000 and the logmap setting of ; over 13,000. ; ; Since its magnitude is still within the range of conventional ; math, the image renders in 10 minutes. The image will download ; from: ; ; ; ; or: ; ; ; ; in even less time however. ; ; The fractal weather Saturday started with a violent thunder- ; storm with 80mph (130kph) winds, over 4 inches (10cm) of rain in ; one hour, hail and continuous lightning. Trees fell everywhere. ; The day then continued with heat, humidity and additional but ; less violent storms. The 95F 35C heat and thunder kept the ; fractal duo of cats confined to the indoors. The power failure ; that ensued when a tree across the alley fell on power lines ; kept me from fractalling and left me with no excuse to escape ; the task of cutting and collecting the fallen tree limbs that ; cluttered the front lawn. ; ; Today is just as hot, but at least no more storms are in sight. ; Until the next time on August 06, take care, and fractals may be ; the answer, but first one must know the question. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Screw_Propeller { ; time=0:10:59.00--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.22509332273260120/+0.758019130508034\ 70/1.25732e+010/1/14.9999752295271485/1.9313561407\ 1707207e-005 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=100000 bailout=6 inside=0 logmap=13255 periodicity=10 colors=000cvzq0Sq0Sq1Sq1Up1Vo1Xo1Zn1_n1am1cm1dl1fl\ 1hk1ik1kj1mj1ni1pi1qj3oj4mj6kj7jj9hjAfkBdkDckEakG_\ kHYkIXkKVlLTlNRlOQlPOlRMlSKlUJmVHmWFmYDmZCm`Ama8na\ 6mb7mb8lb8lb9kb9kbAjbAjbBibCibChbDhbDgbEgbEfbFfbFe\ bGebHdbHdbIdbIcbJcbJbbKbbKabLabM`bM`bN_bN_cOZcOZcP\ YcPYcQXcRXcRWcSWcSVcTVcTVcUUcUUcVTcWTcWScXScXRcYRc\ YQcZQcZPc_Pc`Oc`OcaNcaNcbMcbMccMccLaaL``L__LZZLYYL\ XXLWWKUUKTTKSSKRRKQQKPPKOOJMMJLLJKKJJJJIIJHHJGGIEE\ IDDICCIBBIAAI99I88H56I77I87J97JA7KB7KD7LE7LF7MG7MH\ 7NJ7NK7OL8OM8PN8PO8QQ8QR8RS8RT8SU8SW8TX8TY8UZ9U_9V\ `9Vb9Wc9Wd9Xe9Xf9Yh9Yi9Zj9Zk9_lA_mA`oA`pAaqAarAbsA\ buAcvAcwAdxAdyAdzAcu9cp9cl8cg8cc7cZ7cU7cQ6cL6cH5cC\ 5c85d98eABeBDfCGfDIgELhFNhGQiHSiIVjJXkK_kLalMdlNfm\ OinOlmPlmPmmQnmQomRplRqlSrlSslStlTulTvkUwkUxkVykVz\ kVzkWzjWzjXzjXzjYzjYzjYziZziZzi_zi_zi`zjazkbzlczmc\ zmczmczmczmczmczmczmczmcz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
