It is a scene in ; the vicinity of a midget rather deep on the north shoreline of ; East Valley, and as such, it displays all the characteristics of ; the area, including elements that are nearly cut-off and bits ; and pieces of elephants with curled trunks. ; ; An unusual amount of stretching and skewing were needed to bring ; the scene to a recognizable form. When I was doing the ; stretching, I had a momentary thought that the scene might be in ; trouble, which inspired the name "Fractal Trouble", and to some ; degree, proved to be true. ; ; Unfortunately, after all the stretching and skewing, I was left ; with an image that I could rate no higher than a 5. But a ; rating of 5 is an average fractal, and there is nothing normal ; about an average fractal. ; ; The midget itself does appear in the image, though it has been ; stretched into a narrow slit and is a bit hard to pick out ; without toggling in and out of color mode. ; ; The render time of 5 minutes may be reduced to one minute or so ; by downloading the finished GIF image from: ; ; ; ; On-and-off rain fell all day Sunday here at Fractal Central. ; Late in the afternoon one explosive clap of thunder ended the ; day with a bang, and sent the duo scurrying for cover. When they ; reappeared about 1/2 hour later, I offered them their daily ; treat of tuna, which gave them enough consolation to end the day ; on a peaceful note. Today is starting with sun. It looks like ; a better day on the way. ; ; For me it looks like an uneventful day, unless something ; unexpected turns up in the world of fractals, that is. The next ; FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and keep ; searching. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Trouble { ; time=0:05:04.94--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=flip/ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.00000796644326786/-0.000000\ 01175049742/8.952438e+007/0.0002847/0.086835163495\ 9469293/89.9720082145064737 params=0/90/2/0/0.2533\ 9158986615/0.00033540298237/0.25339158986615/0.000\ 33540298237 float=y maxiter=8000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000pSih_iaghUohMwgFzgKudPmbTd_YXYaOVfGTj8Rk\ CTlGVmKXnOZoS`pWbq_crcesggtkiuokvsmwwoxzpyvryrsymu\ zivzewz`yzXzzSzzOzzKzvLyrLunMqjMmeNiaNeYOaUOYPPULP\ QHQMDQIFRMHRPJRSKSVMSYOSaPTdRTgTTjUTmTRjRQhONcLKZI\ HUFFPCCK99F66AdCBM88KLMIJKHIJGHIFGHEFGDEFCDEBBCAAB\ 99A8897786E75J6fRAcW9aa9Zf9Xj8Ug8Sb8PZ7NV7LR7IN6GJ\ 6DG6BD58A5675lBGhAFeAEb9D_9CW8CT8BQ7AN79K68G68D57A\ 56745jHy_DjPAXE7JLOZCXSRXePUbNS_LQXJOUILRGJOEHMCFJ\ BIG9LD7OA5T7VYUZdXRjQJpJBvC7zV6uS6oP6iN5cK5YI5SF4O\ C4LA4I7zZqsVklSffO`_LWUHQNELHAFA7ADfSAXM8NG6DAACp8\ Ad78T56H48K47I47H46F46E46D45B45A459447446WFnSDhPCc\ MBZJAUL8PP7KT6FW5A_EBcBPh9Pm6PpESoHYlFXfEV_CRUAMN9\ IH7DA596YE5SC5MA4G84A6Mczdzo_siVlcRdYMYSHQMDJG8BAY\ ByWAuUAqS9mQ9iO8fM8bK7ZI7VGJREMPCPZASh8VrTYzY_z`bz\ ebzbaw_ZrXWmUThRQcONZLKWIHVEDSBAP77M45PGAPD8PA7LEE\ DOO5YY5gg5qmfpgblY_gTXcOU } 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========================================= ; ;
