Today's ; scene pictures a midget located in the most prominent valley of ; the largest of these partially-obscured Mandeloids. ; ; I named the image "A Golden Oldie". I forget whether it was the ; color that inspired the name, or if I gave it the name because ; it gives me a feeling of olde tymes. Most likely it was a com- ; bination of these things. ; ; As the month progresses, I shall use nothing but the convention- ; al equal-iteration-band method to render and color the images. ; There will be no 'evaporated' or 'tdis' images. This limitation ; will not result in boring images however. The parent fractal ; has nearly (and in fact, actual) unlimited variety. ; ; When the time to rate the image arrived, I decided on an above- ; average 7. I'm not exactly sure I like the mixture of green and ; orange in the golden parts of the image. But it's still a strik- ; ingly different scene, well worth the 7. ; ; The parameter file renders the image in 16 minutes on my ; machine. The completed GIF image will download from the FOTD ; web sites in a fraction of that time. The URL of Paul's site ; is: ; ; ; ; Scott's site can be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The cats' good luck ended on Monday, as steady light rain moved ; in on schedule shortly after lunch time. The temperature of 48F ; 9C was no help at all. Confined as the duo were to the indoors, ; their moods quickly soured, they grew testy, and a treat of tuna ; was necessary to partially restore their good spirits. For some ; reason, Tippy tried to pick a fight with Thomas in the evening, ; but Thomas, being the peaceful cat that he is, backed down grace- ; fully, and they both ended the day as good friends. ; ; Today is cloudy and threatening rain again. A totally peaceful ; day among the dynamic duo might be too much to hope for, but we ; shall see how it goes. Until tomorrow, when we'll return to the ; parent fractal for May, take care, and who knows what we don't ; know about fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ A_Golden_Oldie { ; time=0:16:35:74--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=mandelbrotmix2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+5.32247257841096700/-2.024785183651587\ 00/744559.3/1/-115/-2.37486178181200991e-007 params=-10/-1.1/-1/-11/0/525/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=285 periodicity=10 colors=000OKULKUJKUHKUFKUCKUAKU7KV5KV0KV2KV3KW4KW5\ KW6KW7KX8KXAKYBKYCKZDKZEK_FK_GK`IK`JKaKLaLMaMNbNOc\ OPcOOcPNdQMdRLeRKeSLeTMfUNfUOfVPgWWgXYhX_hYchZdi_e\ i_ii`ijaljbmkbokcqkdsleulfukewldvlcvlbumaum`tm_smZ\ snYrnXrnWqnVpoUpoTooSooRnpQmpPmpOlqNlqMkqLjqKjrJir\ IirHhrGgsFgsEfsChvDfsEeqEdoFcmFbkGaiH`gH_eIYcIXaJW\ _JVYKUVLTTLSRMRPMPNNOLONJOMHPLFPKDQJBIB3QI9YOFdVLl\ `RwiXugWsfWqdWocWmbWk`Vi_VgZVeXVcWVaVV_TUYSUWRUUPU\ SOUQNUROTSPTTQTURTVSSWTSXUSYVSZVS_WR`XRaYRbZRc_Qd`\ QeaQfbQgbQhcPidPjePkfPogOshOwiOzjOzjOwiNshMohLlgKh\ gJefJcfIceHceGcdFcdFbcEabD`bCZaBYaAX`AW`9V_8U_7TZ6\ OY1QZ4SZ6UZ9W_BX_DZ_G``Ib`Kc`Ne`PhaRkaUnaWqbYtb`wb\ bzbdwZbrW`mS_hPYcLXZIVUCVPEUKFUFGVAHWAIX9KY9LZ8M_8\ N`7Oa6Qb6Rc5Sd5Te4Uf4Wg3Xh3Yi2Zj2_k3_l4`m4an5bo6cp\ 6dq7er8fs8gt9hu9ivAjwBkxBlyCmzDnzDozEpzEqzFrzGszGt\ zHuzIvzIwzJxzJyzVzzWzzJzz } 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================================== ;
