But I almost named it something ; like "Square". The square around the small central midget is ; one of the best defined I have found. ; ; The entire scene is located near the tip of a decorative ; filament extending from a small bud on the left shoreline of the ; prominent Mandeloid feature of the parent. The filament ; terminates in a kind of lopsided spiral, though the word ; 'terminates' is not really correct, since these spiral filaments ; never really terminate. They wind inward, ever tighter and ; smaller, without limit. ; ; I rated the image at a 7. The rows of trees add just enough ; decoration to justify the rating. The unusually well-defined ; square also helps the rating. ; ; The render time of 11+ minutes is on the slow side, but that ; inconvenience can be eliminated by visiting one of the FOTD web ; sites and viewing the image there. ; ; Paul's site is: ; ; ; ; Scott's is: ; ; ; ; A near perfect day here at Fractal Central on Wednesday produced ; near perfect moods in the fractal cats. Lots of sun and a ; temperature of 72F 22C kept them in the yard most of the ; afternoon. When the cat from two doors down the hill walked by, ; Tippy threatened, but the other cat wisely kept going, and Tippy ; soon settled down. ; ; Today is a different story. The sun is now shining, but clouds ; are moving in and rain is supposedly on the way. If the worst ; happens, the duo will need a tuna treat to keep their moods ; bearable. ; ; My mood is always bearable, but it will be far better when I ; finish the day's work. The real joy will come however when, if ; ever, I finish the FOTD CD. For now, until tomorrow's ; adventure in the parent fractal, take care, and what does it ; all mean? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Christmas_Trees { ; time=0:11:42.17--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.62240247034622200/-2.976054286075551\ 00/2.636551e+009/1/-177.5/-0.000276830289356017056 params=-10/-1.1/-1/-11/0/525/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=195 periodicity=10 colors=000koKkoLjoMjoMjoNjoOjoPjoPioQioRioSioSioTh\ pUhpVhpVhpWhpXgpYgpYgpZgp_gp`gp`fpafpbfpcfpcfpdepe\ epfepfepghphephnoionjrmkxllumkumjsmirmipmhomgmmflm\ fjmeimdgmcfmcdmbcmaam``m`_jY_gWZeTZbRY`PYYMXWKXTIW\ RFWODVL9WMBWNDWOFWOGWPIXQKXRMXRNXSPXTRXTSYUUYVWYWY\ YWZYX`ZYbZZdZZeZ_gZ_f_Ye`WdaUcbSbcQadOaeMafKadKacM\ `bN``P`_Q`YR`XT_VU_UV_TX_RY_Q_ZO`ZNaZLcZKdZJfYHgYG\ hYEjYDkYClYFjWHhVKgUMeTPcSRbRU`QWZPZYO`WNcUMeTLhRK\ jPJmOIoMHrKGtJFwHEyGDvFEsEEqDEnDFlCFiBFgAGdAGb9G_8\ GX7HV7HS6HQ5IN4IL4II3JG2JD1JB1JD3IE5IF7IG9IHBIIDHJ\ FHKHHLJHMLHNMGOOGPQGQSGRUGSWFTYFU_FVaFWcFXdEYfEZhE\ _jE`lEanDbpDcrDdtDevDeyCfwDfuEfsFfqFfpGgnHglHgjIgi\ JggKgeKhcLhbMh`MhZNhXOhWOiVNiUMiTMiSLiSLiSKjTJjUJj\ VIjWIjXHjYGkZGk_Fk`FkaEkbDkcDldCleClfBlgAlhAli9mj9\ mk8ml7mm7mn6mo6lp8kq9jrAisC_tVasScrQerNgqLipIkoGmn\ DloEloFloGloGloHkoIkoJkoJ } 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================================== ;
