Many ; registers of the color palette are dead black, as can be seen by ; striking the 'e' key with the image on the screen. I could ; probably have gotten the same effect more easily by setting the ; 'logmap' to a much higher number, but the image turned out ; pretty well the way it is, so I let it be. ; ; I decided on the name "Magic Mandelbrot" when nothing better ; came to mind. The rating of a 7 is satisfactory if not ; exceptional. The render time of a fast 5 minutes makes running ; the included parameter file a breeze. ; ; Those who dislike high winds may pick up the finished image from ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday was extremely hot and humid here at Fractal Central, ; with the reported temperature in the city reaching 104F 40C. ; The heat confined the fractal cats to the coolest indoor spot ; they could find. At 6pm, when a heavy rain squall blew up, the ; electricity went out and the cool air went off. The cats went ; out onto the porch when the rain stopped, where it was now ; cooler than inside. Thursday was notably cooler and drier. The ; duo enjoyed several hours in the yard. Today is starting cool, ; but it is cloudy and threatening rain. I hope the cats are ; ready for an inside day. For me, the work is still very heavy. ; If nothing goes wrong, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and be at peace with whatever you are at ; peace with. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Magic_Mandelbrot { ; time=0:05:20.60--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.11315234783132390/+0.837744818390413\ 40/1.362938e+010/1/155/-6.62844733679418541e-006 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=75000 inside=0 logmap=3366 periodicity=10 colors=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 000000000000000000000000000200400600800A00C00E00G0\ 0I00K00M00002Q04S06U0800AY0C_0Ea0G00IZ0KU0MP0OK0PF\ 2RC4TD6UE8WFAYGCZHE`IGbJIdKKeIMgHOiGQjESlDUnBWoAYq\ 8_s7av4cw6ex8gyAizBkzDmzFozGqzHtzHwzKzzMzzOzzQzzSz\ zUzzWzzYzz_zzazzczzezzgzzizzkzzmzzozzqzzszzuzzvzzw\ zzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
