An evaporated ; fractal is just that -- evaporated. Fractals will evaporate ; when all the exponents of Z in their formula are negative and ; the escape radius is raised to an extreme value such as the ; 10^100 of today's image. ; ; When fractals evaporate, their 'outside' parts shrink and ; eventually disappear completely, leaving a blank screen ; composed totally of 'inside' stuff. But certain inside fills ; such as the 'bof61' that I used in today's image can bring out ; the ghost of the fractal that has evaporated. Today's image is ; such a ghost. To see the un-evaporated version of the image, ; change the imag(p3) parameter to zero. The result is not quite ; as interesting as the evaporated version, but it is still worth ; a look. None of the other inside fills do much with this ; particular image. ; ; I rated today's image at a 7. I like something about the ; coloring more than would seem apparent at first glance. The ; render time of 1-3/4 minutes will pass almost instantly. If ; this does not happen, go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the image there. ; ; Gray morning fog led to midday sun here at New Fractal Central ; on Wednesday. The temperature reached 79F 26C. A very strong ; thunder-storm moved in at 5pm, turning day to night, but the ; fractal cats were more interested in the mouse hole than the ; outside weather -- that is until I plugged the hole, when they ; turned to me with a look of disappointment on their faces and ; went on to other diversions. Of course, plugging one hole will ; never keep the mice out. I am counting on the mouse that barely ; escaped warning the others about the dangerous cat situation. ; ; My day went as good as could be expected. And the fractal was ; not all that bad either. The next fractal will appear in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and ponder the imponderable. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Evaporated_Fractal { ; time=0:01:48.64--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip center-mag=+3.866706650767/+2.322479224495/12100.8\ 1/1/-20/3.62e-008 params=1/-1.5/0.333/-4.5/0/1e+100 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000gVKiYMk_OmaQldRkgSjjSjlTioThrUhtUbsLYsD`\ mIcgNfaSiWXlQaoKfqFks9qu4wsAprFjpKdoQYmVSl_Mwmfxac\ yR`zFYz4WnYIbz5Wr6Pk6Ic6BX6GT8LP9F0AK0BUDD_9Ec5Fk1\ GjCKrMNjWQjeTjhWzm_zvzzzgzzzzzeOvdQpdOm_MjVKgQIeMG\ _JEUHCOEAIC8C9777E9IKBTRDcXFno7Rn6Vn5Ym4am3dk2aj2_\ h2Yg1Ve1Td1Rc1Pb3Vb5_a7ea9j`Bp`DudFrhGpkHnoJksKivL\ gtQerVcp_aod`jmVfuQfrPfpPfmPfkPfhPffPfdPjg_njjqlto\ mqmnoknliojgpgepecqbaq`elahhakdan_bqWbtSbwObrTemXg\ iaidek_inWnpRrrNvtel8bnC`oGZqJXrNVsRTuURvYPw`i4Il6\ Mn7Pp8Sr9VtAYvB`xCczDfrVZkkRnnOppMssKuuIcj_N`pMYmL\ VjKSgJPeIMbHJ_HGYBDMXMU5UC6QG6NJ6KM6HQ6ET6BW68ZG7_\ Q7__6`i6`r6`f5hV4pTGlSRiQafPlcOw`Pp_QjZRdZRZYSSXTM\ XUGWUAWWC`XEdYGiZIm_Kr`LveOpiQkmSfqV`uXWyZRu`OqbLm\ cIieFefCah9Yi6VgATeDRcGPaJM_NKYQIWTC6RGDYKJdNPkRVr\ U`y96WVWRotMimPdfR__TVTVPMXKFZF8`A1b92i83p73vC8sGD\ qLInPMlTRiYWga`dedbaf_000 } 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========================================= ; ;
