The answer to that question depends on the ; definition of the word 'witch'. There certainly are those who ; practice the old Wiccan religion, but I doubt that they wear ; pointed black hats, brew evil potions in cauldrons, and fly ; around on brooms. But then there are fractal witches. ; ; Today's image shows the twisted kiss of a fractal witch. I ; generally prefer not to name images after body parts, but ; today's image is so obvious that I could not resist the ; temptation to give it the relatively harmless name, "A Witches ; Kiss". ; ; The image is actually one of the Julia sets of the "Viol" image ; that appeared as the FOTD for November 3, 2005 -- the FOTD that ; had the shortest discussion of all time. Today's Julia set ; intersects the 'Viol' image at a point in the upper center of ; the bud on the extreme left edge of the 'Viol' image. ; ; The interesting parts of today's image consist of a large ; 'inside' area made active by the 'bof60' inside fill. In this ; case, it is the most effective of all the inside fills. ; ; I rated the image at an above-average 7. Part of that rating is ; due to the extremely brief render time of 80 seconds. But no ; image is ever so fast that there is no need to post it to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A bit of pondering appears at this point in the philofractal ; version of this discussion. ; ; A cold rain fell steadily all Monday afternoon here at Fractal ; Central. The cats checked the conditions twice, but never ; ventured off the covered porch. They passed most of the day ; sleeping on their shelf by the large window, undoubtedly ; dreaming of warm sunshine. In my department, the work was ; finished on schedule, and all else went well. The next FOTD ; fractal will be posted on schedule 24 hours from now, plus or ; minus an hour or two. Until then, take care, and beware of ; kissing witches. They just might be real. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Witches_Kiss { ; time=0:01:20.73--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JuliaMix-1 function=ident center-mag=0.600876/0.124909/1.093492/1/99.9765254\ 755702273/-11.8893132505640633 params=100/0.6/-100\ /0.61/0.202/0.272 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=bof60 logmap=7 periodicity=10 colors=0004K_4NZ4PX4SW4VU4XTD_XLadTciafkihqniurjzs\ kztlzumzvnzwozxpzyqzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrzzrztUdtQfvMjxIm\ zDpxFlrGflIV`IKbJNdJQfKTtKWxKYyPXyUWyZVycUzhTzmSzr\ RzvQxsRvpRumRsjRqgRpeRnbSl_SkXSiUSgRSfPSeRQdSOdTMc\ VKbWIbXHaYF`_D``B_a9_b8XcCUcFRdIOdLLdOIeRFeUCeX9f_\ 6fb4fe5ha6iZ6jW7lT7mQ8nN8pK9qH9rEBsGCsIDsKEtMGtOHt\ PIuRJuTLuVMvXNvYOv_QwaRwcSweTwfGWeFUbFT_FSXFRVFQSF\ PPEOMENKEMHELEEKBEJ9FIAGHBHGCIFDJEEJCFI9FI7FI5FJ9H\ JCIJFJJIKJLLJOMKSOKVPKYQK`RKcSKfTKiULhVMhWMgWNgXOf\ XOfYPfYQeZQeZRd_Rd_Sc`TcaTcaUbbeVlVbbVacWacW`dX`dY\ `eY_eZ_f_Zg_Zg`Yh`YhaYibXibXjcWjdWkdVkeVlznbymcxlc\ xlcwkdvjdvjduietiethesgfrgfrffqegpegpdgodgnchnbhmb\ hlail`ik`ij_jj_jiZjhYkhYkgXkfWlfWleVluUprVopVnnVnk\ VmiVmgVlkMwjNvjOuiOuiPtiPshQshQrcgh`ajZXlWRnULpRFr\ PAtOIoNQkMYgLecHWaDM`0EfAD_KCUTBOQARN9TK9VH8XE8_B7\ a87c56e23i36g39e3Cd3Eb3Ha } frm:JuliaMix-1 {; Jim Muth z=pixel, c=p3, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2): z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+fn1(c), |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
