In fact, with the current work load here ; at Fractal Central and even more work due in, it's lucky today's ; FOTD appeared at all. ; ; But since the image did make it, I must give a bit of info about ; it. The parent fractal is a grossly oversized thing -- a ; roughly circular line, with things that could best be described ; as tennis racquets attached to it. These racquets were the ; inspiration for the name "Fractal Racquet. The scene of today's ; image is on a filament near one of the smaller racquets. ; ; The generating formula combines various portions of Z^(-1.18) ; and Z^(-11.8), then adds (1/C), creating a giant fractal with ; unusual potential. After a thorough study of all the tiny ; racquets in the scene, I named the image "Fractal Racquets". ; ; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is thankfully brief. And ; as always, the already-calculated image is or soon will be ; posted to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; An unexpectedly mild day on Monday gave a brief break from the ; prolonged cold. But snow and ice are forecast for tomorrow and ; Wednesday, so stay tuned. The fractal cats were distracted all ; day, watching the ceiling. They must think they hear mice in ; the woodwork. But cats will be cats, and only they know what ; they were watching for. In my department the work is nearing a ; peak. If the next few FOTD's fail to appear, it will be a sign ; I have had no chance to do them. So tune in in 24 hours to see ; what happens next. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Racquets { ; time=0:03:48.28--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+17.45787701233519000/+15.9569373194939\ 0000/211810.2/1/-150/-3.9476924986389661e-006 params=4/-1.18/-1/-11.8/-1.55/0 float=y maxiter=1400 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000YIGVKKSMOOOSLQWIS_EUcBWg8Yk9ZjA_jB`iCaiD\ bhDchEdgFegGfgHgfIhfIieJjeKkdLldMmcNncNocPp`RpYTqV\ VqTXqQZrN`rLbrIdsFfsChsAjt7lt4mt2jp4gl6dh8ad9Z`BWY\ DTUFQQGNMIKIKHEMFBN6bBBYGGTKLPOQKTQFXUB`SAaR9aP8bO\ 8bN7cL6cP5dN5_M4`L4`J3aI2YH2YI4_J6`K8bLAbMBdNDeODh\ PHlQJiRKoSNlSOqTRpUSsVUsWVvXYwYZxZby_az`ezajzbgzbh\ zQVfEHQFGRFFRGESGDSHCTHBTIAUIAUJ9VJ8VK7WK6WL5XL4XL\ 4X_UVnmKonKoiKodKoiKojKojKptKptKptKpuKpuKpucqudque\ qvfqvgqvmqvqqvurwxrwzrwzrwzrwzstzsrzspzsngtlftjdtg\ ctebuc`ua_u_YuYXvVWvTUvRTvPSwNQwLPwINwGMxELxCJxAIx\ 8Hs7Ln7Oi7Se7V`7YW7aS7dN7hI7kE7nD7nC7oB7oA7o97oD9l\ HBiKDgOFdRGbVI_ZKYaMVeOThPQlROpTLsVJwXGzYEtOSoEej5\ smFYpPCoREnTGnUImWKlXMlZOk_QjaSjcUidWhfYhg_giagjcc\ ha`f_YdZVcXSaWO_ULZSIXRFVPCUODLGED9F52RBJbH_mMpnOo\ nQnnSnnUmnWlnYln_knajncjneinghnihf`g_TgSKfLCfE4fZ4\ dr4bp7_nAXlDUjFRhIOaHCaFC } 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========================================= ; ;
