Much to my satisfaction, ; if not the satisfaction of all fractal fans, a quadratic midget ; lies at the center. This midget is surrounded by four more ; stinging nettles, which inspired the name "Four More Stingers". ; ; Most of the image's effect was created by calculating it with ; the outside set to the 'tdis' option, which I believe colors the ; points according to how far they travel before escaping. Most ; of the other outside options give images that are too chaotic, ; except the traditional equal-iteration-bands method, which gives ; an image that is too flat to have much interest. ; ; Since today's image pretty much duplicates yesterday's, I gave ; it no rating, though if I had rated it, I would probably have ; given it a 7. The render time of over 15 minutes is slow. To ; prevent impatience, I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the image there. ; ; Another near perfect midwinter day was ignored by the fractal ; cats here at New Fractal Central on Thursday. Ignoring the ; brilliant warm sun and temperature of 52F 11C, they spent the ; day chasing each other up and down the hallway, and looking for ; any left-over holiday stuff that still might be lying around. ; ; My day was about average, a fact that has nothing at all wrong ; with it. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and a good fractal will never let you down. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Four_More_Stingers { ; time=0:15:22.69--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.04270145752827061/+0.002606628205982\ 67/2.440903e+007/1/-75/1.68623073545925983e-007 params=1/1.1/11/11/0/0 float=y maxiter=4200 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000GnUAkXWZgqMqaQZMTHGhQAxYljW`kePlnEq_SKdJ\ gdOYiPw9ReUdjO_bX1ug1vkiI7FSeEQYDOQCMJBKBAJ4SbB`fV\ zrcinhehbadYWbSQUNMSHIPCzUzBK1rz3LI5QI7VH9_HBdGDiG\ FnFHrFJtOKvXLweLynMzvMwrPtoRqkUnhWkdZha`eYcbVe_RhX\ OjUKmRHoODrLAtOCoREkUGgXIc_K_bMW_LXYLXWKXUKXRKXPJX\ NJXLJXMMUMORNQONTLNVIOXFOZCOa9Pc6Pe3Pg1Tb3XY5`T7dO\ 9hKBlFDpAFt5Hw1Ju3Ls4Mq5No6Pm7Ql8Rj9ThAUfBVdCXbDYa\ EZbGXbIVbKTbLRbNPbPObQMbSKcUIcVGcXFcZDc_Bca9cc7cd6\ 7e9CdAHcBMbCRaCWaD``Ee_EjZFoYGsYGjbJagLTlNKqQBvS3z\ U0oS9fPHYNQPLYGJe8HhELkJPmPSpUWr_Zudbwiesjfpkgmlhi\ mifnjcok`plXqmUrnRsoOtpKuqHvrEwsBwsDtnEqjFnfGkbHiZ\ IfVJcRK`NLZJQWNUTRYQVaNZeLajIenFirCmv9qz7tu9nqBhmD\ biFXeGS`FVXFXTF_PFaLEdHEfDEi9Ek_2qWEo7C9EHNLL`RsTS\ ccPsUQk_RcdSWiCzVImaN`haL0XNQyyGhfYfiBbcLZZVVUdWe6\ _PZXPdUPigFaWIodDrl8ut4xj3ua2sS1qJ1oLCrNNuOYxUVwZS\ vdPuiMu__rQloGym`zIUvMNrQ } 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========================================= ; ;
