But there is no need ; for alarm. I am not running out of ideas, nor am I growing ; bored with fractals. The unexciting explanation is that there ; was a power glitch just as I had finished the regular longer ; discussion. The glitch caused my tired old computer to recycle ; before I had a chance to save the discussion that I had just ; finished. With a sizable job waiting I had no time to rewrite ; the FOTD. As a result I got mad and took about two minutes to ; gather the parameter info and write a brief discussion outline. ; ; The main point of the lost discussion led from the magnified ; difference between very close exponents of Z in the range of ; 0.6, to the existence of unanswerable questions of life. Unfor- ; tunately, I do not recall most of what I wrote, but there were ; no earth-shaking new philosophical insights included. ; ; As for today's fractal, it is a scene in the western extremity ; of yesterday's fractal, which is the parent fractal of today's ; image. The name "Inner Viol" indicates that yesterday's image ; is shaped somewhat like an ancient stringed instrument. The ; unusually intricate pattern of filaments in today's image raises ; the rating to a little-above-average 6. The render time of ; 7-1/2 minutes means that not too much time will have been wasted ; if the image proves disappointing. ; ; And for those whose new-fangled computers are allergic to ; Fractint, the completed GIF image is available on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; Blue skies streaked with angel-hair cirrus and a temperature of ; 66F 19C made outdoor conditions near perfect here at Fractal ; Central on Thursday. The cats approved heartily and spent the ; afternoon taking it easy in the holly thicket. Today is ; starting sunny and even warmer. The duo will rejoice. And all ; fractal fans will rejoice when the next FOTD appears in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and look to the fractal side. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Inner_Viol { ; time=0:07:29.79--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.74977525674683410/+0.360637169020974\ 40/5.954354e+010/1/-5.00148649754509389/0.00723513\ 747033688315 params=100/0.6/-100/0.61/0/300 float=y maxiter=950 inside=0 logmap=156 periodicity=10 colors=000M6IK6HJ6GI6FH6EJ8DKADMBDNDCPFCQGCRIBTKBU\ LBWNAXPAZQA_S9`T9bV9cX8eY8f_8ha7ib7jd7lf6mg6oi6pk5\ rl5sm5tn5rm7rl9okBljCjiEghGegHceJadL_cMYbOWaQU`SS_\ TQZUOWVMUVKSVIQVGOVENWCMX3KZALYGLXNJUTPT_ISfNQlHNr\ GLzFKzHJzIKyKLxLMwNMvONuQOtRPtTPsUQsWRrXSrYSr_Tq`U\ qbVpccremtfwvhzxmzzwzzzzzzzxszvpztn`rl_pkZniYohXof\ XoeWocVpbUp`TpZSpYSqWRqVQqTPqSOrQNrPNrNMrLLsKKsIJs\ HIsFItEHtCGtBFt9Ev19t8ErFJpMOnSTlZYjebikghhehfcgda\ gb`f`ZfZXeXVeVUdTSdRQdPOcNNcLLbJJbHHaFGaDE`BC`9A`7\ 9b8Ad8Af9Bg9BiABkAClBCnBDpCDqCDsDEuDExACvDEuFGtIIs\ KKrMLqPNpRPoURnWTmYUk`WjbYie_hgagibfldenfdqhcsj`yj\ bukdqkemkgikiekjaklYknUkoQkqMksIktEkvAkx6ky3knCicL\ hSUhTTgTTgTTgUSgUSgUSgVRgVSgVUgVWgWYgWZgW_fX`fXafX\ bfXcfYcfYcfYcfZdfZefZffZgfWhcUi_RkXPmTNoQLqSJsUHuW\ FwYEx_QzRazIlz9IzEKzILzLMzOUzRWzVczYkz`nzcpzftzgoz\ hoziizjizkdzlczmZznZzoTzp } 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========================================= ; ;
