It takes us so close ; in fact, that the ghostly shadow of the rectangle itself appears ; at the center of the frame, rotated and distorted, and surroun- ; ded by apparent fractal ice floes. ; ; The distortion is caused by the inexact exponent of Z, which is ; set to 2.00312 rather than 2.003, and also by the value of C, ; which has an imaginary part of 0.0003 added to the real part of ; -1.7435. These tiny changes make a major change in the appear- ; ance of the Julia rectangle, which is rapidly fading from sight, ; and will soon vanish into the ether. ; ; To add to the interest, I calculated the scene with the inside ; set to 'fmod' and the outside set to 'summ'. The 'fmod' fill ; gives the inside parts of the image the effect if ice floes ; floating on a body of water, while the 'summ' merely livens the ; coloring of the outside parts. ; ; I named the image "Ghost of a Julia Set" and rated it at a 7. ; The render time of over 11 minutes is a bit slow, but the task ; of rendering may be avoided by viewing the image on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; A shower in the morning led to a pleasant sunny afternoon here ; at New Fractal Central on Tuesday, with a comfortable tempera- ; ture of 77F 25C. The fractal cats were more eager to explore a ; just-opened closet than to enjoy the sun coming in their window. ; ; My day was a bit slow, but that was no problem, since it gave me ; more time to work on the fractal agenda. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where is the ; real truth hiding? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ghost_of_a_Jul-Set { ; time=0:11:34.37--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=julzpower passes=1 center-mag=-0.00171559/0.0729636/43.51179 params=-1.7435/0.0003/2.00312/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=fmod outside=summ periodicity=10 proximity=0.01 colors=000LqFIqDFqADq8Aq57q35q1Bl8HhEMdLS`RYXYbTch\ PjoMomLplLqkLqjLrA0SWKphLseNfaLl`HsZIrYJqgLsfLteLu\ gHxdLuaOsZSqWVnTZlQajXegchegmeekccgaac___ZYWXWSVUO\ USKSQFTOHRMJQKKPIMOGONEPMCRLATK8UJ7WI5YH2_F4`G6aG8\ bHAcHCcIEcIHcJKcJNcKQcKScLUcLVcMWcMXcNYcNccQhcSocV\ tdXze_zfZzgZzhZzhZzhZzhZzfZzdZwbZt`ZqZZnYXkXZhW_eV\ abUb_UcXUeUUfRUlOUiMUgPUeSUcWUaYU_`UXbUVeUTgURjUPp\ UPnUOlUNkUMiULgZKfeJdkIcqHdnIdlJNgbOjaPmaQnaQoaQpa\ Ol_NhZLdXKaWIYUHUTGQSENQDJPBFNABM98LFCOKGRPJUUNX_R\ _dUbiYerbin`hjZgfXgbVfZTfVReRPeNNdJLdFJcEJ`DIbCHcB\ GdAFeAFf9Eg8Dh7Ci7Cj6Bk5Al49m12p49n6Fl9LkBSiEYhGcf\ JjeLpcKzfNvbQrZSnVVkRYgN_cJb_Fa_A`_5dXCgVIjSOmQUpN\ _yEgsLemRchXabb_XhYNsYSnXXiX`eWe`WjWVsVPnSVjQ`diKd\ gLdeMdbNcmzdYPdWQhYEfWKdUQbSW`QaZOgXMmXNsVLrUKqSJp\ RIpPHoOFnMEmLDmKClIBkH9jF8jE7iC6hB5gA4gB8fCBfDEeEH\ eFKeGNdHQdITdJWcKZcLabMdb } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
