When I tested it on ; my 2300mhz fireball machine, it finished in under 7 minutes. ; With this slowness to contend with, it goes without saying that ; the best way to see the image is to download it from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The image was created by adding Z^3 to 2Z to produce an M-set ; standing on its nose, with a string of midgets extending outward ; from its East Valley, up along the positive Y-axis, which is now ; on the north side of the main bay. Today's scene is located in ; an inconspicuous valley of one of those midgets. ; ; Not wanting to humiliate myself, I gave the end result neither ; name nor rating. It is the type of image we have seen hundreds ; of times before. Luckily, the time of the big move from Old ; Fractal Central is drawing near, and once we are settled into ; New Fractal Central, the fractal quality will improve notably. ; ; What else can be said about a day in April with blue skies, ; gentle breezes and a temperature of 84F 29C, other than ; 'perfect'. This is what the fractal cats said as they spent ; half the morning and the entire afternoon sleeping in the cool ; shady comfort of the holly patch. ; ; While the cats slept however, I worked. At the end of the day ; enough work had been accomplished that I had time to find ; today's scraggly fractal. And if all goes as expected, the ; next fractal, hopefully not another scraggly one, will appear in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and do as you will. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_21-04-06 { ; time=0:39:47.77--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-0.00041687877465757/+0.595491970612443\ 40/2.372153e+011/1/82.5/-0.00083 params=2/1/1/3/0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000`7JZ6GX5DV4B`RDelElZDsLDjUBaaATj9Kr8Bz7F\ vDJsIMpNQmTTjYXgb_dgThiNkkHomBro5upAvhEv`IvTMvLh5F\ kR8mk2hl2cm2Zn1Uo1Pp1Kp1Ir8HtFGuMFwTEy_DzeBug9qi8l\ k6hl5cn3_p2Wq6Zo9`mDbkGdiJfgNheQjcUla8nR7mS6lT5lU4\ kV3jW3jW7kZAkaDldGlgJljVSOe71cA1aD1_F1YI1WL1UN1SQ1\ QT1OV1MY1K`1Ib1Ge1Eg1Dc7D_CDWIDSNDPSENTFMUGLUHKVHJ\ WIIWJHXKGYLFYLEZMD_NC_OB`OA`PCZPDXPEVPFTPGSPHQQJOQ\ KMQLLQMJQNHQOFQPEUOCYNAaM9dM7hL6lK4oK3pQCpWLqdTqna\ rrirurrxzquvqqsqkoqdlpYhpTepNapIZpDWcUKRj9PeCN`FMX\ HKSKJONHJPGFSEAVD6XE5TF4QG3MG3JH2GI1CJ09J06G8BEFFB\ NK9UO7`T4hX2oa0ve3uc5ua8u_AuYDtWFtUItSKtQMsOPsMRsK\ UsIWrGZrE`rCbrBUtKMuSDw_5xg9tcDp`GmYKiVOeRRbOVZLZV\ IaSEeOBiK8lH5fK8aMAXOCSQENSGIUIDWK8YM9XKAWIBVGCVED\ UCETAFT8GS6HR4HR3KYGMdTPkeRqqBERCDSDCTEBUFAVG9WH8X\ I7YJ6ZI5`H4bG4dG3fF3gE2iE1kD1mC0oC0pL4nU8lbBkkFitI\ hqGeoFbmE_kDXiCUgBSd9Pb8M } 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========================================= ; ;
