As far as I know, today's ; image is the first time this midget has been seen in such an ; unusual apparition. The image shows the midget as it appears ; when viewed in the Elliptic orientation. ; ; But the question of which part of the image is the actual midget ; immediately arises. Is the midget the well-defined triangular ; hole at the center, or is it the broad dark band with bright ; edges partly visible in the background? Actually, the triangu- ; lar hole at the center is the midget. The background band shows ; some of the potential perturbed versions of the midget that ; become visible when imag(z) is varied. These potential per- ; turbed midgets are what inspired the name "Fractal Potentia". ; ; The rating of an 8 would have been a 5 or 6 if I had not ; stumbled upon the color palette that works so well with the ; image. The extremely brief render time of only 11 seconds is ; one of the best fractal bargains of all time. ; ; Those who do not do their own rendering but still enjoy fractals ; may see the -1.75 midget with its array of potential perturbed ; midgets by downloading the finished GIF image from the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday started with light rain here at New Fractal Central. ; The rain ended by 11am, but the clouds persisted for the rest of ; the day, holding the temperature to 64F 18C. The fractal cats ; didn't mind the less-than-ideal conditions. They were too busy ; chasing a ball of aluminum foil all around the first floor. My ; day was slower, but still a bit busier than I prefer. The next ; FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and things ; may not be as they seem. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Potentia { ; time=0:00:11.48--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=ident/flip passes=1 center-mag=-1.76526/0/2.684939/5.9269 params=90/0/2/0/0/0/0/0.0001 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 logmap=18 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000AAF7LV5Qe8RfASfCTfEUfGUfIVfLWfNXfPYgRYgT\ ZgV_gY`m_bradvcgzejzgmzjozloznpzpqzrrztrzpnznlzojz\ phzqdzrbzrZzrWzqUzpWzoYzn_zmgzmfzmizmlzmozmrzmszmt\ zBj6JdGQ_PXUZcPgcOgcMgdKhdJheHieFieDifCjfAjg8kg6kg\ 5kh3lh1lh0lg3mg5ng8ngAofDofFpfHqfKqeMrePreRseTtdWt\ dYud`udbvddvectfcsgcrgcqhcoicnicmjclkcjkcilchmcgnc\ encdoccpbbpbaqb_rbZrbYsbXtbVubUubTvbSwbQwbPxbOybNy\ bMwcNvdOtdPseQrfRpfSogTngUlhVkiWjiXhjYgjZfk_dl`cla\ bmb`mc_ndZoeXofWpgVphWqeWqbXr`XrYXsWYsTYtRYtOZuLZu\ J_vG_vE_wB`w9`x6`x4ay5by5by6cy6dy7dy7ey8ey8fy8gy9g\ y9hyAhyAiyBjyBjyCkyCkyClyDmyDmyEnzEnzFozFpzGpzGqzG\ qzHrzHszIszItzJtzJuzKvzKvzKwzLwzLxzMyzMyzNzzNzzNhx\ YRwhAvs9sq9pp8mo8kn7hm7el7bj6`i6Yh5Vg5Sf5Qe8RbAS`C\ TZFUXHVVJWTMXQOYOQZMT_KV`IX`GYZKZXO_VS`TVaRZaPbbNf\ cLidJmeHqfFuqiEk_DdPCZFCYEEYDGYCHYBJYAKY9MY9NY8PY7\ QY6SY5TY4VY4WS6PN8JIADDB7 } frm:multirot-XY-ZW-new {; draws 6 planes and rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p3, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p4: z=z^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
