The formula itself is ; nearly 10 years old, though during most of that time it just lay ; there unused. I have added it to my 'allinone' formula file at ; this time because I have been doing more fractal exploring with ; it recently. ; ; The formula is a generalization of the cmplxmarksmand formula of ; Fractint. I made the change to see what would happen when other ; powers of Z were given the same treatment. ; ; Today's image is part of the parent fractal that results when ; the exponent of Z is 1.4142 and the exponent of C is 0.4142. ; The fractal itself is a roughly circular bay, with considerable ; debris around the edges and a prominent valley jutting in on the ; west side. Today's scene is located in this western valley. ; ; Though the detail surrounding the midget in the image consists ; of the traditional equal-iteration bands, it is some of the most ; fractured I have yet come upon. I have no idea why the picture ; inspired the name "Fractal Peach Pie", but that is the name I ; gave it and that is the name it bears. ; ; The image is not really all that impressive, especially consid- ; ering the 22 minutes required to render it, which results in an ; overall worth of only 23. The effort of running the included ; parameter file may be avoided by downloading the finished GIF ; file from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The continuation of the philosophy will appear in the philo- ; fractal version of the FOTD within a day or two. Until then, ; don't grow impatient. Unlike foolishness, wisdom comes neither ; quickly nor easily. ; ; Bright sun prevailed all day Friday here at Fractal Central, but ; the temperature never rose above 21F -6C, and this was simply ; far too chilly for the delicate ears, paws and whiskers of the ; fractal cats. They passed the day on the shelf by the side ; window, watching the birds. Today is starting snowy, with a ; temperature of 12F -11C. The cats already know they will not be ; going out, and seem to have accepted their confinement. ; ; I plan on using the bad weather as an excuse to take it easy and ; prepare for the chore of getting rid of the snow, which will ; need to be done tomorrow. The next FOTD will appear in all its ; glory in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and step through life ; with enthusiasm. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Peach_Pie { ; time=0:21:58.60--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JimsCompMand passes=1 center-mag=-0.54218234203544090/+0.017174281788131\ 41/3.484017e+007/1/-87.5/6.94175655291395799e-008 params=1.4142/0/1.4142/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=50000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000BXbAYaAYaAYa9Y`8Y`7Y`6Y`6Y`5Y`4Y`3Y`1Zb3\ Y`4X_6WZ7VY8UXAUVBTUDSTERSFQRHQPIPOJONLNMMMLOMJPLI\ QKHSJGTIFUIE3MUHZXXoWVkZUh`TecSbeRZgQWjPTl`WoOQnAM\ ozjnELmzjUHKkzKjzjiMKhOJgPJfzkLTJdUIcWIbYIaZI``H`a\ H_cHZeHYfGXhGWjGVkGUmFToFSpFRrFQtEPuEOwENxENcWCKm2\ Ml3Nl3Ol4Pl4Ql5Sl5Tl6Ul6Vl6Wl7Yl7Zl8_l8`l9al9ck9dk\ AelAfmBgnBjoClpCnpCppDrpDtpEupEvpFwpFxpFvnGtmGrmHo\ lHmiIkgIjfJhdJohKf`Kd_LcYLbXMaWM_VNkaNYTOXSOYUOjjO\ _XO`ZNa`NbbNcdNdeN`cOYbPVaQR_ROZSLYTHWUEVVBUW8TWCV\ ZFWaIXcMYfPZhS_kW`mZap`atabracpadnadlaejafhaffagdb\ hbbh`biZbjXbjVbkTblRqi6blPWRUPngHpVInUJlTJjSKhRLfQ\ LdPMbOM`NNZMOXLOVKPTJQRIQPHRNGPG6RMFTRNVXVXabZfjWd\ hUbgS`eQZdOXcMVaKT`IRZGPYENXCLVAJU9DY8IT8NP7SL7XH6\ aD5e66f97fB8fD9fFAfHBgJCRLDgNEgPFgRGgTHhVIhXJRZKh`\ LhbMhdNifOihPizQizRizSizRjzRjzRkzQkzQlzQlYSkWTjUVi\ SW`QYgOZfM`eKadJCWcCXbBXb } frm:JimsCompMand {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: z=z^p1*(c^(p2-1))+c, |z| <= p3+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
