If the first three ; letters of the second word are reversed, the title becomes ; "Sliced Lemons". But there is nothing sour about the image, ; which uses the < tdis > outside coloring option. In fact, ; after careful consideration, I rated the image at a 7. ; ; The parent fractal combines portions of Z^2 and Z^3. The whole- ; number exponents result in a fractal that has no branch-cut ; discontinuities when calculated with the outside set to display ; the standard equal-iteration bands, but the < tdis > outside- ; coloring algorithm used in today's image introduces the disconti- ; nuities that are visible in the image. ; ; The parent fractal is a distorted Mandelbrot set rotated 180 ; degrees, with lots of interesting activity on its negative (in ; this case, positive) stem. East (in this case, West) valley of ; the parent fractal is also decorated with interesting spurious ; activity, though I did not explore this area. ; ; With a render time of 6 minutes on my humble fractal machine, ; today's fractal is a bit slow, making a download of the ; completed image the marginally better choice. The download is ; available on the W.W.W. at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather Friday here at Fractal Central was overcast ; and very humid -- wet enough to swim in. The temperature of 86F ; 30C was about average. A few drops of rain fell in the after- ; noon, which is too bad, since we're in a rather severe drought. ; The fractal cats finished their outdoor activity before the ; raindrops appeared, so, unlike the local farmers, they were not ; displeased. ; ; With thunder-showers prowling the area this morning (Saturday), ; and some real rain hopefully soon to occur, I'd best wrap up ; this edition of the FOTD and see whether I can console the ; dynamic duo. Until next FOTD on Monday the 26th, take care, and ; be serendipitous. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Sliced_Melons { ; time=0:06:12.34--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix2 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+2.943452875421294/+0.00522078768874016\ /1.530056e+012/1.0002/177.5/0.00916304379004028585 params=1/2/-0.2/3/-0.25/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 outside=tdis symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000RmRUmUXnX`n`cocgofjpjnpmqqptqsrnpqknpiln\ fimdglaejZciX`hUZfSXePVdMSbKQaHO`FMZINYLOXOPWQPVTQ\ TWRSYRR`SQcTPeTNbSM_SLXSJVSISSHPSGMSEKRDHRCERBBR99\ R86R73R61R7GM8UH9gCAu7IkEQaKYSQdIWUOVKTUAZT0cS4fW7\ h_BkcEmgHojHniHngImfImdIlcJlaJk`Jk_Ml`Pl`Sm`UmaXna\ _naaobdobgobipclpcoqcqqdtrdwrdyrdldX`RPbVMcYKd`Iec\ GffEgiBhl9io7jr5ku3lx1jy2hy3fy3dy4by4`y5Zy5Yy6Wy6U\ y7Sy7Qy8cz8Zt9Qp9VjJV_TKKKcElg3uf8sfCreGpeKoeOmdTl\ dXjc`icdgchfdj`ekWflQgmLhoGipAjq5jr0kp3ln5ll7mj9mh\ BnfDndFobHp`KpZMqXOqVQrTSrRUsPWsNYpMZmLZjKZhK_eJ_b\ I__H_YH`VG`SF`QF`NDRKBHH98RKK_UWicgrmsolklldjlXglQ\ elJdgEccAb_6bW2_Y6YZAW_DTaHRbLPcOMeSKfWIgZFibDjfBk\ iAjj9ij8hj8gj7fj6ej6dk5ck4bk4ak3`k2_k2_k7blBdlGflK\ hmPjmTlmQciOWfLOcJG`KFZLEXMDVNCTPBRUAPZ9Oc8Mh7Km6I\ r5Gm4Eh3Cc2BZ1HU1MJ1SF1XB1b81g72d72a72Z62W62T62Q52\ N52L52I42F42C429326323321 } frm:MandelbrotMix2 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ; ;
