I found nothing in the image that might earn a name or ; rating, so it will remain forever nameless and ratingless. ; ; Now the number 17 is a prime number, though this has no signifi- ; cance to the appearance of the fractal. The magnitude is ; marginally within the range of arbitrary precision math, which ; slows the calculation to 8 minutes. This does not seem like ; much of a slowdown, but the normal double-precision math would ; calculate the image in around 5 seconds, but at a cost of consid- ; erable loss of definition. ; ; For universal peace of mind, the pre-rendered GIF image has been ; posted to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; from where it may be downloaded at leisure. ; ; Both the weather and the fractal cats were absolutely perfect ; here at Very Old Fractal Central on Tuesday. In fact, if I had ; to design a perfect day, I would use the parameters that made ; Tuesday perfect. The work combined with the moving plans made ; my day rather hectic, but not unnecessarily so. The next FOTD ; should appear right here in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and fight to relax. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_03-05-06 { ; time=0:08:21.14--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.7486008908313599545/0.18472285651337\ 9102/1.685937e+014/1/-17.5/-1.2337353361147052e-014 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=94 colors=000rXOnYMjZKfZJb_HZ`FV`ERaCNaBJb9Fc7Bc67d43\ d3Bf8IhCQjHXkLdmQkoUqoYonXllWijWfhVcgU`eUYcTVaTS`S\ PZRMXRJVQGUQFSPERPDQOCPOBONANN9MM8LMUUboasm_pkYniW\ lhVjfThdRfcPdaOb_M`ZKZXIXVHVUFTSDRQBPPANM9PJ8RH7SE\ 6UC6W95X74Z43`23a93cF3eL3gR3iX3jb3lh3nn3pt3qs5qr7q\ q9qpBqoDqnEqmGqlIqkKqjMqjNqkMkkMekL_kLUkKOkKIkKDlJ\ ClIBlHAlHAlG9lF8lF8lE7lD6lD6jC9hCBgBDeBGdBIbAKaAN_\ 9PZ9RX9UW8WU8YT8_UCXUGUVKRVOOWSLWWIX_FXcCXgAYhEYiI\ YjLZkPZlSZmWZnZ_kY_iY`fY`dYaaXa_XbXXbVXcSXcQWdNWdL\ WeIWeGWaIRYJMUKHQLCMM7PLARKCUJEWJGZII`HKcGMeGPlANc\ 9QU7TL6WB4Z23aMGddSgwcjtegrfdogbmh_kjXhkVflSdmPanN\ _pKYqHVrFTsCRtAWtB_tBdtBhtBmtBqtBklHfdNaXSWPYRHcM9\ h_NSl_BiYAfWAdUAaSAZQAXOAUMASLAOZLLlVIydKuaMr_OnXQ\ kVSgSTdQV`OXYLZUJ`RGbNEcKCfQJhWPkaWmgapmhrrnoopllq\ ijsfgtceu_fiWgYSgNXiU`j_YiaWhcTgdRffOehMdiKckHbmFa\ nC`pA_r8ZsGYmOYhWYccXYkXT } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
