Today's scene is located near a larger midget that ; lies in the interior of a ring in the distant north-northeast ; suburbs of the parent. ; ; The unusual detail inside the midget itself is a sign that the ; scene has been evaporated, and the ghost brought to life by the ; bof61 inside fill. Fractals in which all the exponents of Z are ; negative can be evaporated by raising the escape radius to a ; full googol, which is the amount entered as the imag(p3) para- ; meter of today's image. This trick usually traps every point. ; ; For reasons known only to myself and the 'intelligent designer', ; (whatever you consider this to be), I named the image "Polyester ; Minibrot". I might have done myself a favor when I rated it at ; a 7, but the image is really rather pleasant to look at, and I ; feel it earns its rating. The reasonably fast render time of ; under 4 minutes gives an overall value of 184. ; ; The render time is fast, but the fastest way of all to enjoy the ; image is to download it in finished form from the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; With a temperature of 67F 19C, gentle breezes, and warm sunshine ; to keep them happy, the fractal cats put on their best moods ; Friday. When the day was finished, they were so exhausted that ; they forgot their customary evening treats, and went right to ; sleep. Today is starting mostly sunny and warmer. I expect a ; similar day. ; ; For me, most of the graphics work is caught up. If I can muster ; the energy this afternoon, I'll give the grass the first ; trimming of the season. If not, I'll do it tomorrow or Monday. ; Until next time, take care, and don't get hot under the collar ; when a cool fractal appears. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Polyester_Minibrot { ; time=0:03:48.11--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+25.24771384422294000/+103.017140882474\ 40000/4599911/1/-22.5/6.18164318095387744e-005 params=2/-1.4/0.2/-8.6/-2.597094637897885/1e+100 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=00000U00o00u00x80zOAzdOzuazzozzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzdz0Iz00u50UX02x00zo0Dz00zG0zg0\ U0za0zg0zl0zu0rz0dz0Qz2Gz52zA0zD0zA0z80u50i20_05O0\ AA0G00L00Q00X00a00g00l00g00a00X02U08O0AI0GD0LA0Q50\ X00_00UD0NQ0LgGIoXDzhAsz5zz2zzzzxozodugQo_GiQ2KK00\ Q0ou8_f0zD0zD2zDDzDLgDXODm520a00z00z20z80uD0rI0lL0\ iQ0gX0aa0_g0Ul0Qo0Ou0Ux0_z0az0gz0iz0oz0rz0xz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz2zzAzzIzuQzi_z_gzOozDxz2zz0zx0zu\ 0zr0zo0zl0zlIzlazluolzglzXlzOlzQozQozUozUozXrzXrz_\ rz_rz_rzdxzizzlzzrzzuzzzzzzzzuzzlzzgzz_zzUzzGzz5zz\ 0lz0Xa_dAzi5zl0zl0zo0zo0zr0zr0xu0uu0ox0lx0iz0gz0dz\ 0iz0oz0rz0xz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0ro0da0UL2G822050080080000000000000A00O02a0\ 8r0Dz0Iz0Oz0UiG_QadAxi0zo0zu0za0zI5x2Qi0lX0zI0z800\ 00I0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Gz0Lu0Oo0Ql0Ug0Xa0__0a\ U0dQ0gL0iG0lD0o80O0080008 } 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================================== ; ;
