Today's FOTD is late due to a heavy storm and ; power outage from noon until 3:30pm. But things are now back ; to normal. ; ; I am disappointed with today's image. When I first saw the ; parent fractal, which was created by combining 2 parts of ; Z^(-0.1) with Z^2 and adding C, I had high hopes for a great ; image. But alas, my hopes were in vain. The parent fractal ; appears quite interesting on the surface, but deep inside it ; has little of worth. Totally uninspired with the outcome of ; the day's exploration, I named the image "A Fractal Image" and ; rated it at a lowly 3. ; ; The parameter file, which takes 23 minutes to run, is far too ; slow for such an unimpressive image. A far more efficient way ; of viewing the humdrum fractal is to download it from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; 88F 31C degree heat and high humidity made things uncomfortable ; for humans on Friday, but no rain fell, giving the cats a dry ; afternoon in the holly thicket. When dusk arrived, they came ; inside for their tuna treats without complaint. Today is ; starting the same, but distant thunder is grumbling. Unless it ; storms, today will likely be another acceptable day for the duo. ; For me, it will likely be an uneventful day. The next fractal ; will come from nowhere and will appear as the next FOTD in 24 ; hours. Hopefully, it will be an improvement over today's. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Fractal_Image { ; time=0:23:38.98--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-1.97782662172448200/+0.444979621904237\ 80/2.368234e+010 params=2/-0.1/1/2/0/0 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 symmetry=none periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000Y4UW5UV6pU7kT8gS9cRAZQAVPBROCMNDIMEELF9K\ G5JG1LI3MK5NM7PO9QQBRRDSTFUVHVXJWZLX_N_VPaRQcNSeJT\ hEUjAWl6Xn2Yk5Wi8UfBTdERaHP_KOXNMVQKSTJQWHNZFLaEId\ CGgB9MH21N48P6EQ8KRARTCXUEbVGhWFiVEjUDjUCkTBkSAlS9\ mR9mQ8nQ7nP6oO5pO4pN3qM3qM2qK2qJ2qH2qG2qE2qD5gA8Y7\ AP5AO8AOAAOCAOFAOHAOJAOMAOOANQANTANVANXAN_ANaANcAN\ eGLhMKjSImXHoUGnSFmPEmNDlLDlOGjRJhTMfWPdYSb`U`bXZe\ _XgbVjeTlgSkdPjbMi`JhYGgWEfUBeR8dP5dN3eL7fKBgJEhII\ iHLjFPkESlDWmCZnBboAepDfpGfpIgqLgqOhqQhqThrWirYir`\ jscjsekshksjkrigqicqi_piWohTohPnhLmhHmhEaiFQjFEkF3\ kF2lG2lH2mH2mI2mI7kJBjKFiLJhMNgMRfNVeOZdPbcQfbQjaR\ n`Sr_TvZUzYUy_PyaLxcHxeCwg8wi4vg8vfBveEvdIvcLvbOva\ Ru`Vu_YuZ`uYcuXguWjuVmuUpvSqvRqvQqwOqwNqwMrxKrxJrx\ IrxHrtIqqJpnKokLohMneNmbOm_OlWPkTQkQRjNSiKTiHUhEVg\ BVgCXhDZiE_jFakGckHdlIfmJhnKinNflPdjRbhU`gHDOYXc`V\ abS`dQZgOXiMVVCyWAyX8yY6y } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
