Or at least it ; appears to. It is another of those 'anything can happen' images ; produced by my little-used 'Mystic2' formula. Curiously enough, ; in today's image, the function that produces the best picture is ; the function with an error in it -- the 'cosxx' function. ; ; Since the image consists entirely of 'inside' material, an ; active inside fill is needed to reveal the details. Today's ; image uses the 'bof61' inside fill, though several other fills ; work almost as well. ; ; When I saw the explosive nature of the image, I immediately ; named it "Fractal Explosion". I rather like the image, so I ; rated it a 7. The render time of 4 minutes can be avoided by ; downloading the completed GIF file from Paul's web site at: ; ; ; ; or from Scott's site at: ; ; ; ; But when downloading, be cautious. I have seen a report that ; the version of Fractint that Scott is using might draw incorrect ; images with the 'Mystic2' formula, which creates images that ; consist entirely of inside fill. If so, this is an unusual ; situation. Scott's images are almost always correct. ; ; Saturday was warm and muggy enough. The temperature reached 86F ; 30C, but it did not rain, and the cats had an enjoyable several ; hours in the yard. Today is starting exactly the same, so there ; is no reason to expect anything other than happy cats. ; ; For me, it's a lazy day. I think I'll simply read some thought- ; provoking articles in the magazines piled on the shelf, and see ; if I can provoke some thoughts. Later, I'll turn to fractals. ; Until next time, which will be in 24 hours, take care, and think ; deep thoughts. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Fractal_Explosion { ; time=0:04:27.60--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=Mystic2 function=cosxx passes=1 center-mag=+0.00401393777775/-0.9968332050329/347.\ 2512 params=1.1/3.6/2.6/-3.1/-0.6/-0.4 float=y maxiter=100 inside=bof61 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000DEABC8000NqTMnRLlQKjPJhOJeNR7MVRLQMJGXIF\ VHETGDRFDOECMDBKBAIAAF99D88B7796ObuSZtWVq`RndNkhJh\ lFeWouXqpYrkZse_t``uVavQekPi`OlQOaZNSgMIpMJqRKqVLq\ ZMrcNrgOrkOroQpmSnlUlkVmgWmcXm_YmWZmS_mOWjSThVQfZN\ daKadH_hEYkBWnAgbAsRAzGIuIPkJWaLbSM`QVZOcXMlVKuUIu\ zwurvqjvkcueWuZOtTHtNLnTOiZSdcVZiZUnaPtdKuaZd_lLYi\ KWfJUcIS`HQZFOWEMTDKQCINBGLAEI9CF87FIAC7896zTmxQhq\ OcjLZcJUYGPREKKBFD9ApuudhhUWWIJIDu9Cn8Bh8Aa7AW79Q6\ 8J67D5RlsOfkL`dIVYFPQCJJ9DCsugnocij_deW_`SVWOQRKLM\ GGHCBC8veirben_bjX_fVXbSUZPRVNNRKKNHHJFEFCBB98GeVE\ _QDUMBOIAID8C9jaSg_QeYPcWOaVMZTLXRKVPJTOHRMGOKFMJD\ KHCIFBFDADC8BA7986V_rUYoTXmSWkRViQTgPSeORcNQaMP_LN\ YKMWJLUIKRHJPGHNFGLEFJDEHCDFBBDAAB999887z`uyZqvXnr\ VkoThkSehQbdO_aMXYLTVJQRHNOFKKEHHCEDABA88Vq9Pe8JU7\ DI6VzHRpFNgDJZBFP9BG7nwgkteiqcgoael_cjYagW_eVYbTW`\ RUYPRWNPTLNRJLOIJMGHJEFHC } frm:Mystic2 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), k=real(p3), f=imag(p3), g=pixel, z=(pixel)^a+(b*(pixel))^c: z=(fn1(z)+(d*(g)))^k+(f*(cos(g))) g=sqr(g), LastSqr <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ;
