This parent ; resembles an oval island with a pointed east end and a chaotic ; west end lined with Mandelbrot buds. The island is surrounded ; by the fractal ocean of infinity. Today's scene lies in a dis- ; connected area of chaos just inland from the southwest shore- ; line of the parent, at a point where the shore is lined with ; fractal buds. ; ; When I studied the finished image, searching for a rating, I got ; the impression that I had been here before -- not to this exact ; place, but to a place similar. As a result, the rating that ; started at a 5 dropped to a 4, which is all I can do for such an ; image. ; ; (Strange as it may seem, the fewer FOTD images I post, the lower ; the quality of the images seems to become. In a week or two ; when I decide the fate of my overworked FOTD-CD, I'll return to ; my daily FOTD schedule, and the quality will hopefully pick up.) ; ; I named today's image "Goldiebrot" after the well-known fairy- ; tale character who visited the house where 3 bears lived. The ; gold coloring in the image inspired the name. ; ; The 5-1/2 minute render time of the parameter file is not too ; long to wait for the image to appear. But downloading the ; completed image from the web site of Paul at: ; ; ; ; or from Scott's site at: ; ; ; ; will eliminate even the small wait. ; ; The weather during the past week here at Fractal Central varied ; between sunny and warm, and rainy and cold. The mood of the ; dynamic duo varied between happy and grouchy. This morning is ; starting dreary with a temperature of 59F 15C and showers ; expected through the day. I expect it will be a bad day for ; cats. ; ; The FOTD-CD is making steady progress. The problem is that as ; soon as I fix one problem, I find another. If the present trend ; continues, I might have to admit that I will never get the disk ; perfect and resign myself to a production which is adequate but ; with flaws. Until Saturday, April 05, take care, and searching ; for truth is one thing; recognizing truth when you find it is ; another. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Goldiebrot { ; time=0:05:36.36--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.605091404854238/-3.150129979402847/4\ 26694/1/102.5/-2.15061206676470107e-007 params=-1/-0.3/-1/-3/0/525 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 logmap=100 periodicity=10 colors=0000RN0VQ0ZSGbVMfYBj`Qnbbsepmjzinxefsb`mZUh\ XNbSGZQ9aS8dV7fX5iZ4l`3nb1qd0tf0wh0yj0zl0zn0zp0zs0\ zt0zq0zn0zl0yi0uf1sd3pa5m`7jY8fVBdSCaQEZNFVKISIJQG\ KNENKBOG8QE5SB3U80V50X73V77U79U8ES8IR8KR8OQ9SO9VO9\ ZN9bMBeMBiKBmJBpJJdURUdZJmXMjVNiSOhRQeORdNSbMU`JXZ\ IYYFZVE`UCaS9bQ8dO5fN4hK3iJ0jI0lF0mE0nC0pB0nB0mB3l\ B5jB8jBBiBFhBIfBKfBNeBQdBSbBVbBY`E`ZGaXJdVMeSOhRQi\ OSlNVnKYpJ`sGatFdwCfxBiz8lz7myCjwIitNhsSepYdmbblf`\ ilZfqYewVbzU`zSZzRt`zb8I`GOZOVXXaVdhSlnRtuOzzNzzMz\ zKywKupJqjJmeIiZIeUG`OFXIFSCEO7EK0CG0CC0FE0IE0KE1M\ E5OE9RFEUFIVFKYFO`FSbGXdG`fGdiGhlGlmGnUIwBIzBIzEMz\ GQzJUzMYyOawReuUitXmsZqpaundymfzldzjbziazh`zfYzeXz\ dVzbUzaRz`QzZOzYNzYKzXJzVIzUGzSEzRCzQBzO9zN7zM5zK4\ zJ3zJ4zM5zO7zQ8zS9zVBzXCzZEzaFzbFzeGzhIziJzlKznMzp\ NzsOzuQzwRzyRzzSzzUzzUzzVzzVzzXzzYzzYzzZzzZzz`zzaz\ zazzbzzbzzdzzezzezzzzzzzz } 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==================================
