This ; operation creates a fractal which is little more than a hole ; with scattered debris in it. But a small critical area exists ; at the east edge of the hole, where a tiny main stem extends ; east a short distance. Today's image is located on a side ; branch out near the tip of the stem. ; ; The name "Chromatic Jubilee" came to me when I realized that ; the image works best with one of the Fractint random color ; palettes. I also noticed that the bands are arranged so that ; every other iteration is displayed, rather than every consecu- ; tive iteration. I have no idea why this is so; it likely has ; something to do with the negative exponents. ; ; The rating of 6 seems fair enough. The render time of 4 minutes ; can be reduced to under 2 minutes by running the parameter file ; with the passes set to . And finally, the completed GIF is ; available at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; The weather Thursday here at F.C. was cloudy and chilly, but ; dry, with a temperature of 47F 8C. The cats did manage about ; 1/2 hour outdoors, but this was not enough to satisfy their ; desire for adventure, so a treat of tuna was necessary to ; restore their good spirits. ; ; For me, it's the start of another day, maybe a good day, maybe ; bad. I won't know which until the day ends, when it will be too ; late to do anything about it. But regardless, I'll return ; tomorrow with another FOTD and maybe some trivial banter. Until ; then, take much care, and where is Ned Kelly when we need him? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Chromatic_Jubilee { ; time=0:01:48.09--SF5 on a p200 ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 4 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.67831761687801200/+0.000001564569161\ 15/3.755805e+011/1/140.002401385466698/-0.00433737\ 845033256575 params=1/-2/-1/-3/0/0 float=y maxiter=400 inside=0 logmap=84 periodicity=10 colors=000DNQ6DDQPUYGZH8HjU`ZMRNFIB793m02X01G0E4n7\ 2PN0SDEC000444wUJgICJ96zmJcECK76qmyRPVrctdUuRKSDAE\ NTGBE8iD2YxLPhFHUA8F5zN5bF3J71aztLpEAQ7qdYcUPRKHDA\ 8QzkEmk9XW4GGAKuzza36JVRgFDMapKJQA1LJsm4`X2IG1FjK3\ QUg9mPmPI`ICPC6C6jHAZC7N85B42UrCpB9Z76H33fcJUO4MI3\ FC2761ZJVQENH9F847kEu_AfO7TC3EcneKPL_NvuBMa7EJ37OG\ zzKmeDXL6GgwRXhKMUDBF6rec_SQIED5oc2QKC6Hv`5gR3TI2E\ 91Q0qD0RdMGGMo8BQeqw3xA2h71U50F21fL0WF0LA0A5avDJT6\ SpcEQKd69K34IGJDCE9894441i40N2qW4MEjE9V74FWcMV4qN3\ cF2R71DO5UG3K81ASk5EO2bmOJPC21c10Q00DLI9FL6AO45R2B\ US7XI3_9Dbr8e_4hIek1enQVqJLtDAw6jzyzzdzzKzzfzzWzzL\ zzAzz0zzTzzizzUzzFzz0zz0zz0zzszzSzzCzz9zz6zz3zzSzz\ Izz9zzFzzBzz7zz3zz5zz3zz2zz1zzBzzUzznzzYzzHzz4zz3z\ z2zz1zzRzzKzzDzz6zzazz3zz2zz1zz0zzCzz8zz4zzNzzyzzT\ zzRzzIzz9zzxzzyzzyzzzzzzzzizzUzzbzzjzzVzz0zzFzz0zz\ 0zznzzazzPzzCzzGzz8zzozzb } 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================================== ; ;
