The important word here is 'most'. ; Occasionally, as in yesterday's 'antlers' image, which showed ; the entire chaotic part of the fractal, there is no midget to be ; seen. ; ; Today's image is a return to yesterday's fractal. I returned ; today to search for midgets, and found one that looks as though ; it is about to vanish beyond the bailout radius. Searching the ; surroundings of this midget, I found a spot where the entire ; character of the area suffers a sudden change, and did further ; searching there. I soon found a midget of apparently average ; quality. ; ; But as I was working with this sub-midget, trying to find ; something where little existed, the surroundings caught my ; attention. As I discovered, the interest in this area lies not ; in the midget, but in its surroundings. I settled on an area to ; the northwest of the midget, colored it with the < tdis > ; option, and named the result "Coronal Globules". One glance at ; the image will reveal why I gave it that name. ; ; The original midget is not lost however. It lies a short ; distance southeast of today's image, and well might appear as a ; FOTD in the near future. For those (if any) who want to see the ; rejected midget at once, an outzoom will reveal the exact ; location, and the midget can then be zoomed in upon. ; ; I have rated today's image at a 6, which is a little above ; average. The render time of 23 minutes is a little below ; average however. But relief in the form of a pre-rendered image ; file ready for download is available on the FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; If the image is not quite worth 23 minutes of rendering, it is ; certainly worth a minute or two of download time. ; ; The weather Saturday here at Fractal Central was an improvement ; over the day before, but the temperature of 68F 20C accompanied ; by fog, drizzle, and most importantly, wet grass, kept the ; dynamic fractal cats once again confined to the indoors, where ; their paws and whiskers remained dry. ; ; Today appears to be a repeat, so I suspect that before the day ; is finished, I'll be breaking out a tuna treat for the ; housebound duo. I'm now going to try to do as little work as ; possible for the rest of the day, before the more serious work ; arrives tomorrow. Until next time, in 24 hours, take care, and ; discipline your fractals with caution. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Coronal_Globules { ; time=0:23:36.75--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+3.20666312768485400/+3.038945445674083\ 00/5455110/1/-130.000000056271801/7.11923277621484\ 552e-008 params=5/-0.05/0.5/-11/-0.8623/525 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000QceRcdRccScbTcaTd`Ud_VdZVdXWdWXdVXeUYeTZ\ eSZeR_eQ`fP`fNafMbfLbfKdfJffIgfHifGkfFlfEjfFhfGffH\ dfIbfJafK`fL_fMZfNYfOYePXeQWeRVeSUeTUeUTeVSeWReXQe\ YQeZPe_Oe`NdaMebLdcLddKdeJdfIdgHdhHciGcjFckEclDcmD\ cnCcmBclAckAcjAciAdhAdgAdfAdeAddBdcDdbEdaFd`Gd_HdZ\ JcYKcXLcWMcVOcUPcTQcSRcRScQUbPVbOWbNXbMZbL_bK`bJab\ IbbHdaGeaFfaEgaDiaDjaDkaDlaDmaDo`Ep`Eq`Er`Et`Eu`Ev\ `Ew`EzaDx`Ew`Eu`Ft`Fs`Gq`Gp`Go`Hm`Hl`Ik`Ii`Jh`Jg_J\ e_Kd_Kc_La_L`_M__MY_MX_NV_NU_OT_OR_PQZPPZPNZQMZQLZ\ RJZRIZSHZSFZSEZTDZTBZUAZU8_V9ZU9YUAYTAXTBXSBWSCWRC\ VRDVQDUQEUPETPFTOFSOGSNGRNHRMHQMIQLIPLJPKJOKJNKINJ\ HMJGMIFLIELHDKHEKGF0GG0FH0FI0EJ0EKHDLGDMGCNFCOFBPE\ BQEARDASC9TDAUDAVEAWEAXFBYFBZGB_GB`HCaHCbICcICdJDe\ JDfKDgKDhLEiLEjMEkMElNFmNFnOFoOFpPGqPGrQGsQGtQGsRF\ sRFrRFrRFqREqREpREpREoRDoRDnRDnRDmRCmRClRClRCkRBkR\ BjSBjSBiSAiSAhSAhSAgS9gS9 } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; 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, 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================================== ; ;
