But one ; thing that has not been seen so many times is the huge discon- ; tinuity in the pattern surrounding the midget, one of the ; greatest I have yet seen. ; ; I named the image "Off on a Tangent". There is no logical ; reason for such a name. I simply felt like giving the image ; that name. ; ; The render time of 7 minutes is true on my 10-year-old fractal- ; dedicated P200 unit. On the current SOTA (State Of The Art) ; machines, the image will calculate in about 2 minutes. But some ; SOTA machines are over-qualified to run Fractint, which is still ; the world's best fractal generator. To avoid fractal frustra- ; tion, the owners of these handicapped units will need to down- ; load the finished GIF image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A warm, muggy, lazy afternoon with a temperature of 86F 30C was ; interrupted by a heavy thunder-shower at 4pm. The new fractal ; cats went to the window long enough to see what all the outside ; commotion was about. Then they returned to their job of getting ; into trouble. My sister called from Old Fractal Central this ; morning to let me know that the old fractal cats, Thomas and ; Tippy, are in good health, and are doing the same things they ; did when we were there ; ; My day was slow, but in the evening we heard from a customer who ; informed us that he will send in a big job tomorrow morning. ; The rush might put tomorrow's FOTD in doubt, so be sure to check ; back here in 24 hours to see how it goes. Until tomorrow, or ; maybe the next day, take care, and life is the world's greatest ; mystery. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Off_on_a_Tangent { ; time=0:07:05.95--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-2.75444535467781000/-0.095428023111382\ 43/3.412037e+009/1/-40/2.57163975737953465e-005 params=1.1892/0/-49/0 float=y maxiter=7500 inside=0 colors=000udJzdczfUvgKrm6qj8qhAqfCqdEqbFq`HqYJqWLq\ UNqSOqQQqOSqMUqJWqHXqFZqD`qBbq9dq7ep9goBhnDinEjmGk\ lImkKnkLojNpiPqyPuiQrURoDTpFRmHQjIPgKOdLMbNL_PKXQJ\ USIRTGPVFMWEJYDG_CD`ABb98c85e72f60h91iB1kD2lF2mH3o\ K3pM4qO4sQ5tS5uU6wX6xZ7z`7zb8zd8zg9zi9zkAzmAzoBzr6\ zq9zqBzqDzqGzqIzqKzqMzqPzqRyqTwqWvqYuq_sqarqdpqfoq\ hnqklqmkqopzymuujqqhmneijbef`acYY_WUXTQTQMPOIMLEIK\ 9DJAFJBGJCHJDIJEJJFKJFLJGMJHNJIOIJPIKQILRILSIMTINU\ IOVIPWIQXJMNIOTIQYISbIUgIWlIYqG`yI_vKZtMZrNYpPYnRX\ lSXjUWhWVeXVcZUa`U_aTYcTWeSUfSShUZjWdkYjvfXzoHznJz\ mLzlNzkOykQwjSuiTthVrhXpgYof_meakdbiddhcffbgdaibak\ a`l__nYZpXZqWIpWHoVCnVHnUFmUPlTOlTMkSLjSJjRIiRGhTG\ lSFjRFhREgQEeQDcPDbPC`OC_NCYNBWMBVMATLARL9YK9XK9dJ\ D_JGgIJeIMkF_zIUzKRzMNwOMkRKhTJfVIdXHb_F_aEYcDWWCU\ hARj9Pl8Nn7Lq5Is4GuYEvZDw2Ct2Dj2Ee2Fn2HpKFoLEoLDnM\ CmMBlNAlN9nQBoTDqWErZGtaH } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
