There are ; no midgets in Julia sets, so I have wasted no effort searching ; for them in today's FOTD. I have instead taken an entire Julia ; set. There is also no outside-inside image in today's FOTD. I ; have rendered the outside parts totally black and rendered the ; inside parts with the inside set to 'fmod' with a proximity ; value of 0.02. What we have on the screen is actually the ; inside of the entire ground-level Z^(sqrt(2))+C Julia set. Its ; C-value is 0.115. The set has been rotated -90 degrees to give ; it a Y-axis symmetry. ; ; The resulting inside-only image reminds me for some reason of an ; avacado, though I have given it only a catalog-listing name. ; The rating of a 6 is some improvement, but not what I was hoping ; for. ; ; The image, which was calculated by the julzpower formula, is ; extremely fast. On my tired old machine it renders in 1/2 ; minute. On the speediest units, if it runs at all, it will ; finish in a few seconds. ; ; Those who for some reason cannot or would rather not run the ; included parameter file may see the avacado-colored image by ; downloading it from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The clouds hung heavy Thursday morning here at Fractal Central, ; but the rain passed off quickly, and by 2pm it was sunny and ; mild, with a temperature of 75F 24C. The cats approved. I did ; not approve of the heavy work, but work is work, so I did what ; needed to be done. Today is starting sunny but chilly. The ; cats should find it acceptable. The next FOTD will appear in 24 ; hours, minus the avacado. Until then, take care, and dream of ; the answer. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Square_Root_of_2-7 { ; time=0:00:39.93--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=julzpower center-mag=-0.187793/0/\ 1/1/-90/0 params=0.115/0/1.414213562373/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=fmod proximity=0.02 colors=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 000`Q3`Q3`Q3`P3`P3`O3`O3`O3`N3`N3`M3`M3`M3`L3`L3`L\ 3_M4ZN4ZN4YO4YP4XP4WQ5WQ5VR5VS5US5UT5TT5SU6SV6RV6R\ W6QW6QX6PY7OY7OZ7N_7N_7M`7M`7La8Kb8Kb8Jc8Jc8Id8He9\ He9Gf9Gf9Fg9Fh9Eh9DiADjACjACkABkABlAAmB9mB9nB8nB8o\ C7pE7pG6qI5qK5rM4sO4sQ3tS2uU3tW3tY3s_3sa3rc3re3rd3\ qc3qb3pa4p`4p_4oZ4oY4nX4nW4mV4mU4mT4lS4lR5kQ5kO5kM\ 5jK5jI5iG5iE5iE5hE5hE5gE6gF6fF6fF6fF6eF6eF6dF6dF6d\ F6cF7cG7bG7bG7aG7aG7aG7`G7`G7_G7_G7_G8ZH8ZH8YH8YH8\ YH8XH8XH8WH8WH8VH8VH9VI9UI9UI9TI9TI9TI9SI9SI9RI9RI\ 9RI9QJ9PJ9OK9NKAMLALLAKMAJMAINBHNBGNBFOBEOBDPCCPCB\ QCAQC9RC8RD7SD6SD5TD4TD3TF5UG6VH7WI8XJAXKBYLCZMD_N\ E_OG`PHaQIbRJbSKcTMdUNeVOeWPfXQgYShZTi_Ui`VjaWkbYl\ cZle_mg`niaokcomdpoeqqfrsgrreqpdpncolaok`ni_mgYmeX\ ldWkcVkbTjaSiaRh`Ph_OgZNf } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
