I am in the process of investigating it, but so far I ; have found nothing worthy of FOTD status, (which itself is not ; that high). I will do further investigation later today. Who ; knows, I might even surprise myself. ; ; Instead of revealing a Julia 'Miracle', today's image takes us ; to one of my favorite places in all of fractal land -- the east ; valley of the large midget on the infinitely divided main stem ; of the Z^2.003+C Mandeloid. This is the area that holds the ; mysterious Julia rectangle that I keep returning to, though in ; today's image we are in the Mandelbrot orientation. ; ; For some unknown reason I named the image "Hotfoot". Actually ; it looks more like a rail yard designed by a maniac. The colors ; are very intense, perhaps a bit too intense for the otherwise ; un-exceptional scene. Regardless, I have rated the image at an ; above-average 7. ; ; The render time of just under 5 minutes on my 10-year-old compu- ; ter will be reduced to 1 minute or so on the fastest machines. ; But it is still fun to visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and download the completed GIF image from there. ; ; Near ideal weather on Saturday had a great effect on the fractal ; cats. They spent several hours lounging in the yard doing ; nothing, which is what cats do best. My day would have been ; better if I had not needed to trim the grass in the afternoon. ; This morning is starting about the same. I expect more of the ; same from the cat duo. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and look for improvement. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hotfoot { ; time=0:04:56.93--SF6 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=-1.74396902537854000/+0.000726790474579\ 19/2.995057e+007/1/-122.5/2.74998442365004259e-007 params=2.003/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=159 periodicity=10 colors=000AAHAAIAAJAAKAALAAMAAOAAQAASABUACWADYAE_A\ FaAGcAHeAIgAJiAKj9Kk3Kl0Km0Kn0Ko0Kp0Kq1Kr3Ks5Kt6Ku\ 9KvBNwCQxFTzHWzIZzKazFdzCgz9jz6mz3hz0cz0cw0Zt0Uq0P\ n0Kj0Ff0Ab05Z0BV0CS09P06M05L01K00I10H90FH0EO0CV0Bb\ 19i57o76tB3zE0zH0zK0zL0zL0zL6zL9zO5zP0zS0zU0zV0tY0\ p`0kb0fd1bg5Yi7SkBOoEKpHEsK9vM5wP0zd6qULfKYV7kK0x7\ 0vB0tC0sE1qH6oIBmKFkMKjOOgPSfSWdU`cVd`Yi__mY`qWbvg\ WwqRwzLxzHxzF`zECzC0zH0zL1zP9zUHzYMzbUzd`zigzmmzqt\ zvzzzzzzzxvzxpzwjxwdtvYovSjvMftH`t9Ws3Rs0Ms0Ip0Ho1\ Hm7HjCFiIFgMFdSEcWEb`EfbIibLkbOobRqbUtbYwb`zbczbfz\ bizdfzfdzgbzi`zjYzkWzmUzoSzpRzqOzsLztIzvHzwEzxBzx9\ zz6zz3zz0xz0xz0xz0xz0wz0vz0tw0st3qq6po9pjCogFmdIkb\ Lj_OiWRiUUjPVkLVkHWmEWo9Yo5Yp0_p0_m0Wk3Vi6Ug9SfCRc\ FPbIO_LMYOLWPK`OIdOIiMIkMIpLItLIwLIxIOzHSzEYzCbz9g\ zHkzOqzVszbtzivziwzixzizzizzizzizzizzizzizzizzizzi\ zzizzizzizzizzizzizzizziz } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
