Today's image lies in the East Valley of a ; large midget located in the split-up main stem. ; ; I named the image "Web of Fortune". I can give no real reason ; for such a name except that it popped into my head as I studied ; the scene. Most of the effect is due to the random color ; palette created by striking the 'enter' key while in color mode. ; ; The calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes is slow enough to give the ; more impatient fractalists reason to skip today's image, so to ; avoid disappointment, the finished image is posted on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; A flurry of snow in the morning and a partly cloudy afternoon ; with a temperature of 41F 5C here at New Fractal Central on ; Wednesday was ignored by the fractal cats, who continue to show ; more interest in the left-over holiday stuff than the outdoors. ; They managed to pull a dozen or so ornaments off the tree and ; bat them to all corners of the house. Their enthusiasm did not ; diminish until the evening treat was served. ; ; My day was pretty routine. The holiday is over and the work ; could no longer be put off, but I finished it in time to find ; today's fractal. Tomorrow will likely be a similar day, with ; another fractal to ponder. Until 24 hours has passed, take ; care, and be of fractal temperament. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Web_of_Fortune { ; time=0:06:41.78--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-0.92773355738011890/+0.041813997571321\ 59/6.406306e+008/1/-67.5/1.52567713315038267e-006 params=0.1/0.1/2/2/0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000v8NlBQcDSUFULHWBSJ1a642H218pB_Z7OH3CNM55\ Nq3Hc2BR15DSgDQEwD7U8rb6dT4RJ2D90I50C3061b59Q36D13\ NcFHUBBK75A3PMKGED876cCdK6Kg3lT2WE1GGSEeWSY3NM2FB1\ 73j91N4cjWKNGdQ2UJ1KD1A60EAIDoXr3K8yn6ia4VP2FCvO`T\ CIfxEWhALU7AF37iUqEx_9cI4KccRQQIDD9qB__7OI3C5IEKk6\ F_4AO35C1nArP5RuDhT6Mzp7eZ4LH2n17Y04H02LzfFjWAVL5F\ AcrVUdNKRFAD7ORtCDS7n43P2RHGKUNAFB4OMXY0GH0SeXLVOE\ LG7A8fAEL57wjCaeuSVfJLT9AEkei_VYOLNCABeILSCEE67qdy\ cUiRKVDAFA4X52Gg4OM2CMp9Gb6BQ45D2Zas2PE1G9084OI8GC\ 5862piDQN6TzfEVL1SwZi_HNI6F1eLaSEPE7Cl_zY9EM69B34s\ Nwgm7X`5MP3BC1a0y47J24C126ZD2H61QNvJHgDBT65EOJcAHf\ 7CW58L24A0Mv0BTySmUciFKNzmgj`XVPMFCBWAkL6WA3G`5MZF\ vH7Tnh5PM2`JwREhI9U94FRQ8KJ6DD4662TjgLZXENM7BBhKmt\ zBSV5`yGIV89_76O43C2eYuVPfLHTA8E8RB4D5o9Tb6LQ4ED27\ UInF9PHJX89GqAfWWuOOfGGT88EA0n50Peu_LTILSEYA3P72H5\ 1820biPOPiGGU9BJMAKY9Lj8M } 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========================================= ; ;
