It's not a large job, but if I let ; it sit on the shelf, we could be getting ourselves into another ; backlog. ; ; Today's image from the Mandelbrot set is a study in finding ; order in chaos. The scene is located on the north shoreline ; of the first bud beyond the large bud at -1 on the X-axis, in ; the fifth valley of the valley series of a sub-bud. Almost ; total chaos prevails in this area, with only a few remnants of ; anything resembling order. The midget in today's image is ; surrounded by one of these quasi-orderly areas. ; ; The rating of a 7 might be a bit liberal, but I kind of like ; the image, and this is almost certainly the first time this ; particular midget has been seen by human eyes. ; ; The scene is one of very high iteration, with even a maxiter of ; 300,000 not quite resolving the midget. At 36,600, the logmap ; is also set unusually high. The result is a render time of 44 ; minutes, which can be eliminated by downloading the completed ; GIF image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The Sunday weather was rather bland here at Fractal Central. ; The temperature in the 50's (around 13C), the hazy skies, and ; the light winds, were notably forgettable. The cats were happy ; in the yard however, and this was very memorable. As the day ; ended, the satisfied cats had their heads in their tuna dishes. ; ; And now it's time for me to tackle that building pile of work. ; When I finish, I'll tackle the Mandelbrot set. Until next time, ; take care, and try to avoid those inevitable dead ends. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Mandelbrot-12 { ; time=0:44:37.50--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.31205579278384000/+0.068152686332192\ 43/9.947005e+010/1/127.500415974917757/-0.00080291\ 4198005093283 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=300000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=36600 periodicity=10 colors=000OAzYXzVXzPXzMXzIXzEXz8Xz4Xz0Xz0Xz0Xz0Xz0\ Xz0Xz0Xz0Xz2Xz4Xz7Xz7Xz8XzAXzCXzEXzGXzIXzKXzKXzMXz\ OXzPXzRXzTXzVXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXX\ zXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXz0\ Xz7XzRXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXz\ XXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzXXzVXzTXzRXzRXzPXzOXzMXzMVzKR\ zIOzGKzGGzECzC8zA4zA0z80z70z40z70z40z40z20z20z00z0\ 0z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z\ 00z00z00z00z00z00y20w70vA0rE0pI0nO0mR0kV0iY0ed0dg0\ bk0`n0Yn0Xr0Xv0Xy8XzIXzRXzbXzkXztXzzXzzVzzXzzXzzXz\ zXzzYzzYzzYwzYvz`rz`ny`mw`ivbevbdtb`rbXrbVpdRndOnd\ MmdIkeEieCie8ge4eg2eg0dg0bg0ek0bg0Yd0V`2RX7OT8MPCI\ MEEIIAEM7AO27R02T00X00`00b00e00e00g00i00i00k00m00m\ 00n20p70pA0rE0tI0tM0vP0wT0wX0yY0z`0zb0zd0ze0zg0zi0\ zk2zm2zn4zn4zn7zn7zn8zn8znAznAznCznCznEznEznGznEzn\ GznGznGznGznGznGznGznGznI } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ;
