Today's image lies in the East Valley of this M-set, ; which is rotated 180 degrees, making East Valley actually a west ; valley. ; ; To add life to the image I rendered it with outside=tdis in ; effect. The unusually obvious square feature surrounding the ; central midget inspired the name "A Square Deal". When the time ; to rate the image arrived, I looked at it and decided it was ; just unusual enough to rate a slightly-above-average 6. ; ; A 6-rated fractal is nothing to get excited about, but the calcu- ; lation time of just over 1 minute is so short that little effort ; will have been wasted if the result fails to please. And the ; calculation may be escaped entirely by downloading the already ; rendered image in GIF format from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; More 99F 37C stifling heat here at Fractal Central on Wednesday ; kept the fractal cats glad that they did not have to go outside. ; It is far more pleasant chasing each other about in air-condi- ; tioned comfort. But when Cassie finally cornered Nico, she ; grabbed him and started kicking him in the head. Luckily, Nico ; has a thick head. ; ; In my department, the work was slow but my energy was low. The ; two canceled each other out. Unless the unexpected happens, as ; it sometimes does, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and walk and talk with fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Square_Deal { ; time=0:01:16.35--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-3.475760009066282/0/3.414284e+007/1/180 params=1/3/-0.1/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=3000 inside=0 outside=tdis symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000Z6le7nfDlgJjhPiiVgj`fkfdkkcinYgpTfrNdtIb\ vCax7`x8_x9_x9ZxAYxBYxBXxCXxCWsDWnDViEVeEV`FUWFURG\ UNGTSHTXIT`JLDNSPVZ`beljlFIiyxlxrnwlqvgsuaADrYZgut\ X1Bu4Cl6Dd8EXAFPCFH0Ev6nh9ijCdlE_nHVpKQrMLtPGv72rH\ 7uRCxfwlisjkohmlfphdrebta`zbcvZZsWVpSRmPMjLIuC6gIE\ UNMGSU2X`6Sc9NeCIgNSTJb4X`FoUIlXMjZQhaUfcXdf`bhdbt\ f`jg_ahYTiXKiQUjJckDlkKfiQagXXeaUhbTfbSdbRcbQabQ``\ SY_TWZUTYVRXWOWXMC87EH8FP9GYAIeBJnCKy7KwAKvCKtEKsH\ KqJKpLGuLKoNOjPRdRV_TYUVaPXdKZjGToDNtAHkCLcEPVGTNI\ XDJaFK`GL`IM`JN_LO_MP_NQ_4IZ3Hb3Ge3Gh3Fk3Fn8LjDQfI\ WbN`ZVhXSeVQbTO_RLXPJUNHRLFPKHTPIWUJZYKabLdgMgkIrh\ JkJMfQPbWRYaUUgWPmZLs`HySQhRiaJYS4BF8HHCNJGTLJZMNd\ ORjQ_eOUpRLh8NqJPzTWEl_NbcVTgbJrh0jjAbkKY2RWlUUhXS\ eZQb`O_bMXdKUfJRhITbIUXHWSHXMGZGG_BF`GF`LE`QE`UL_U\ RZUXYUcYUiXUoWUuWUq_SncQjgPgkNcoL`rKXpNToPQnRMmTIl\ VFkXGcZHX`IQbJIdKBfL4gS5j } 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========================================= ;
