As a result, the image calculates in a surpri- ; sing 8-1/2 minutes on the P200, and less than one minute on the ; P4-2300. (Actually, the image is not totally symmetrical in ; respect to the X-axis, though the difference is subtle.) ; ; To rev up the image a bit, it was rendered with outside=summ. ; ; The image impresses me as being a little above average for such ; an over-explored area. The rating of a 6 seems appropriate. ; ; As has been the case for 8 years, the completed GIF image is ; available for download on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The temperature rose to 88F 31C here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday. The cats found a shady spot in the holly thicket, ; and stretched out for the afternoon. Today is starting cloudy ; and cooler, but still pleasantly mild. The duo should find this ; acceptable. For me the real work is rather heavy, which means ; I'll be busy into the late afternoon. This will still leave ; enough time to find a hopefully great fractal however. That ; fractal, great or otherwise, will appear in 24 hours as the next ; FOTD. Until then, take care, and look for your self. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= MainStemMandelbrot { ; time=0:08:38.82--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.999999999999999999999216261240241681\ 263722836/0.0/2.404376e+041 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 bailout=4 inside=0 outside=summ symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000Md_KdUIcNFbGDa9kf8Tc5JD6HK5FQ4DW3rHUXSGC\ BUBFQBJMBNIBREBVABZ67u98r88p79m69k6Ah5Af4Bc3ejs_hj\ VgaZ8hw1vu9lsHcqOVoWMnbDiaBdaA_a9Ba9Va8Qa6La5Ga41a\ m3ae5aY6aQ8aIAaA72F9K9WDLTHIQKGONELQCIT9GW7DZ5hBpc\ Fi_IcWMYSPSNSLJWFFZ9o04i53dA3_F3VJ3QO3LT3GY3sU8CJp\ BMhBPaBSVBUOBXHB_AkLGcPDXSAPW8IZ5C2tBEbBQLDbLvA_ZO\ JM5mJCcHJVFPLDWCrEXc2WPKHE4bD9XDESCJNCOIBTDBY8c9ZY\ FSSLMMRFGX94eW7cM9bCOFVMJRKMNIPJGTFEWBCZ7x3jq8dkC_\ eHU_LPTPJNUEHY8QNPOPMMRJKTGIVEGXBEZ8C`5LP_JxOZlDLF\ LGRC02n28g4D`5IU7NN8SGAX9TlWQjSOiOMgLKfHHeDFcADb6d\ dD`cBXcATb9Qb8Mb6Ia5Ea4gJKbMHZOFVRDRTBNV9JY7F_55Ke\ 7PW8TMAUCzt2zkwqimhgd`fVSdMJbATkzKfVbZDZ_BV_AR`8N`\ 7Ja5Fa4rfhcdVPbH89L9EI9JFAOCAT9BY6uNznQzgSz`UzVWzO\ YzH_zfiu_gjUe_NdPHbEiqhSiOvTmZYQB_IB`GB`EB`CB`ABa8\ Ba6Ba4NjKPioAYCBZABZ9B_8B_7B`6B`5Ba41jGeuvaroYphUm\ aQkVMhOIfHEcAwoFUgtRfmPef } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
