Like the other magnet formulas, it has something to do ; with temperature and magnetized materials, but I have no idea of ; the details. ; ; Unfortunately, I did not find much excitement in this formula. ; I finally decided on an image that is more an unsuccessful study ; of coloring than a noteworthy fractal. I named the picture ; "Iterative Fragments" for no special reason. I am not sure why ; the formula was so un-productive. Maybe I simply failed to find ; the great fractal scenes that lie in it. ; ; Looking at the image reminds me of standing near the edge of a ; cliff, with fragments of fractal something floating in the air ; at the edge of the cliff, blocking out part of the infinite sky ; beyond. From the colors of the objects I would guess they are ; partly translucent, for a bit of the background light seems to ; be filtering through. ; ; My description sounds interesting, but being a realist, I could ; rate the image no higher than a 3. It is a fast one however, ; and its speed gives it an overall worth of 240. For tomorrow's ; FOTD I'll tackle the Mandelbrot version of the same complex ; formula. I might be able to find something better there. ; ; Today's less-than-excellent image may be found posted on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It rained steadily all day Thursday here at good old Fractal ; Central, and the temperature hovered around 45F 7C, leaving the ; fractal cats with nothing to do but sit sulking on their window ; shelf, watching the rain and studying the occasional waterlogged ; squirrel. Only an extra treat of tuna in mid-afternoon kept ; them from becoming totally miserable. This morning has dawned ; sunny, but the wind is up, and cats of the fractal persuasion do ; not like high wind. We shall see how their day goes. ; ; For me it's work before fractals. Things are getting back to ; normal. Fractal Lady is still a bit testy, but not as testy as ; she was yesterday. It looks like an acceptable day coming. ; Regardless of what happens, I'll have the next fractal ready by ; the time today ends, and I'll post it tomorrow at the same time. ; Until then, take care, and when the Julia side of things looks ; bad, check the Mandelbrot side. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= IterativeFragments { ; time=0:01:14.73--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=magnet2j center-mag=+5.47103490849\ 833700/-1.572646755529751/12169.71/1/-170/3.430677\ 33943325237e-010 params=0.1438184668138492/0.99739\ 04210490822 float=y maxiter=1000 bailout=3300 inside=bof60 symmetry=none periodicity=none colors=000fZck`bmmwmgooiolfkichfaedZbaW_ZUXXRUUPRR\ MOPJLUHIQHFSOHUQFWSKWUPXWUYZZYacZdhagmhjrqmwvpzzsz\ zvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyvzyv\ zdfCfgDhhFjiGkjImkJokKqlMsmNtnPvoQxpSzqTzqUynXwkZu\ h`tecrbep_goXimUlkRniOphLsfIudFwcDybFxaGwaHv`Iv_Ju\ _LtZMsYNsYOrXPqWRpWSpVToUUnUVnXTm_SmaQldPlgNliMklK\ koJjqHjtGjwEiyDizBhzAhz9hzAgzBgyBgwCgtDfrDfoEfmFfj\ FehGeeHecHedLaePZfTVgXSdTXbPa_LfYIjVEoTAtR7xTAuVCr\ WFoYHl_Ji`MfbOcdRaeTZgVWiYTj_QlbNndKofIlgJigKggLdg\ MbhN_hOYhPVhQThRRgUQfWPeYOd`NcbMbdLbgKaiJ`kI_nHZpG\ YrFYtnlpMknOhjQfgSddTbaV_ZXYWYWS_UPaRMbPJdNGfLDgJA\ lG9pE8uC8yA7z87a89Z98W98T98RA8OA8LA7JB7GB7DB7BB7AE\ D9GJ9IO8LU7N_7PdifGMJWOLZPMaQNdRPgSQjTRmUTpVUsWVv`\ ZmdbeifYmiQrmIvqAzt2xq6voAtmErkHpiLngPldSjbWh`_fZb\ dXfbVj`TmdQigNejLamIYpFVsDRvANy7Jz5Gu8KoANhCRbEUWH\ XQJ`JLcDNfIPeNReSTdXVdaXc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
