At first glance, this feature appears to have ; a smaller midget at its center. But first impressions can be ; deceiving. There is not a single midget at the center, but four ; midgets, all connected like siamese quadruplets. This configura- ; tion is so unusual that I chose it as today's FOTD. ; ; Unfortunately, I put too little effort into the coloring, with ; the result that the image can be rated no higher than a 6, which ; is still a bit above average. The render time of just under one ; hour is slow, but relief may be found on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image will has been posted. ; ; I am not the first to put today's four crowded midgets before ; the public. I received an e-mail yesterday directing me to a ; web site where another view of today's FOTD scene had already ; been found and rendered, and is now on display. A second view ; of today's fractal may be found at: ; ; ; ; Lots of sun, picturesque clouds, and a high temperature of 73F ; 23C, made the fractal cats' day quite enjoyable on Wednesday. ; My day was fair, which is about all one could ask for. Today is ; starting sunny and mild. It looks good for the duo! The next ; FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if you ; need comfort in time of despair, forget skeptical science. Turn ; to fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SiameseQuadruplets { ; time=0:50:04.81--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=mandelbrotn passes=1 center-mag=-1.74985153643764000/+0.000004747703553\ 00/1.616436e+010/1/-70/-0.000126419308237250838 params=2.000001/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=42000 inside=0 logmap=780 periodicity=10 colors=000hrZhrZhrZhrZhrZhrZhrZhrYhqXhpWhoVhnUelTc\ jR`hPZeNWcMTaKRZIOXGMVEITCGQAEO8CM6AM5CN7DP9FRAGTC\ IVDKYFM_GOaIQcJSeLTgMReOQcQPaRO`TMZVLXWKVYJU_IS`GQ\ bFOdENeDLgBJiAHj9Gl8En7Co5Aq49s37t25v14w58s9BpCEmG\ HjKLfNOcRR`VUYYXVa`RecOhfLliIolFinHcpJYrLStNMvPGxR\ HvQHtPHrOIpNInMIlLJiNKfPLdQMaSN_TOXVPVWQSYRQZSN`TL\ aUIcVGdWDfXBgY8iZ6j_3l_1mZ3lY4lX5kW6kV7iU8fT9dSAbR\ C`QD_PE_OF_NG`MH_LI`KJ`MIbNHcOHePGeQFgSFhTEjUDjVDl\ WCmYBoZBo_Aq`9ra9rbBocCmdDjdEheFffGcgHagI_hJXiKVjL\ SjMQkNOlOLmPJmQHnRGnRFnREnRDnRCnRCnRBnRAnR9nR8oR8o\ R7oR6oR5oR4oR4oR3oR2oR1oR0oR0BwgFufJteNudQvcUwbYxa\ `y`dz_hzZlzYozXszWwzVzzUtzTnzThzTczTYzTSzTNzTMzULz\ VLzVKzWKzXJzXJzYIzZIzZGz`FzbDzdCzfBzg9zi8zk6zn5zm4\ zm3zm3zm2zm2zm1zm1zm4zm7zmAzmDzmGzmJzmLzmOzmRzmUzm\ Xzm_zmbzmdzmgzmjzmmzmpzmszmuzmqzmnzmkzmhzmezmbzm_z\ mXzmUzmRzmOzmLzmIzmFzmCzm } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
