The Oblate and Parabolic slices require ; that the 3-D Julibrot section be oriented in our space with the ; real(z) axis perpendicular to the Mandelbrot set on the screen. ; The Rectangular and Elliptic orientations require the imag(z) ; axis of the Julibrot to be perpendicular to the screen. The ; Rectangular slices are then the view from left or right; the ; Elliptic slices are the view from above or below. ; ; Today's image is a scene with Rectangular orientation, located ; in Elephant Valley, which is the prominent valley on the east ; side of the Mandelbrot set. Elephants are everywhere in this ; area, and they can be found in nearly every orientation through ; the Julibrot. By contrast, the Mandelbrot features such as buds ; and midgets can be found in only a few of the Mandelbrot-orien- ; ted slices. (This is not strictly true, but we'll ignore the ; exception for now.) ; ; Instead of all facing in the same direction, the elephants in ; today's image are facing each other, trunk to trunk, and appear ; to be stomping on a bell. At least, this is what I saw when I ; was searching for a name for the image. The name "Elephant ; Bell" reflects what I imagined in the scene. ; ; Elephants might be large, but they are not all that unusual in ; the world of fractals. As a result, I could rate today's image ; no higher than a perfectly average 5. At nearly 8-1/2 minutes, ; the render time of the parameter file is within reason, but the ; download from: ; ; ; ; is far more convenient. ; ; Monday was sunny but chilly here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal duo managed nearly a half-hour in the holly thicket, ; but repeated chilly gusts of wind soon drove them indoors, ; where they satisfied themselves with an extra treat of tuna. ; Today is starting the same. I expect pretty much the same ; reaction from the duo. For me it's more of the usual. The ; next FOTD will appear in 24 or so hours. Until then, take ; care, and where is Alice's looking glass? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Elephant_Bell { ; time=0:08:23.017-SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=flip/ident passes=t center-mag=-0.10158781095461710/-0.001681\ 38469062141/2246.428/0.001052 params=0/90/2/0/0/0/\ 0.26/0 float=y maxiter=35000 inside=0 logmap=31 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=0000cS0eR0fQ0gP0hO0iN0jM1kL3lK4mJ5nI6oH7pG8\ qF9rEAsDBtCCsCDrBEqBFpBFoBGnBHmBHlBIkBJjAKiAKhALgA\ MfAMeANdAOcAObAJa9F`8B_77Z63Y55XA6WF8VJ9UOBTTCSXDR\ VEQTEPSFQQFSPGUNGVMHXKIZII`HJaFJcEKeCKfBSYIZQPeHWl\ 9bs1hrD`qPUp_NokGov9krFhoKelPbiU_f_XcdU`iRYnQVkPSi\ PQgONeNKbNI`MFZLCXLAVMDWMGXMIXMLYMOYMQZMTZNW_NY_N`\ `Nc`NeaNhaNkbNmbBZa0La4O_7RZAUYEXWH_VKbUNeTRhRUkQX\ nP_pOboLfoJioHdT``7ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8ca8c\ a9ca9ca9caAcaBcbDccEcdFceGcfHcgIchJciKcjLclManO_pQ\ YrSWtUUuVSvUQwSOwQMvOKuLIsJGrGEpECnCAl98j78h48g28f\ 08c4B`7EYAHVDKSHNPKQMNTJQWGUZDXaA_d8bg7ci7dj7ek6fl\ 6gm6hn6io5jp5kq5mr4os4qt4su4uv3ww3zx3zy3zzPzkizXjz\ _kzakzclzelzgmzitzomzkfzg_zdUz`NzYGzUAzRFzSEzTDzVC\ zWCzXBzZAz_9z`8zb7zc7zdDzgJziPzlVznTzoSzpRzpQzqPzq\ NzrMzrLzsKzsJztIztHzrHzqGzoGznGzlFzkFzjEzhEzgEzeDz\ dDzbDzaCz`CzZAzMAzNAzOAzP } frm:multirot-XY-ZW-new {; draws 6 planes and rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p3, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p4: z=z^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
