The result was a parent fractal ; that can best be described as a 4-lobed Mandeloid with each lobe ; subdivided into two sub-lobes. Today's FOTD was found along the ; positive X-axis, in what can be described as the East Valley of ; this parent fractal. ; ; The midget at the center has a surrounding pattern of unusual ; smoothness. It is disconnected from its parent, as can be seen ; in the disconnected nature of the pattern. The pattern is also ; unusually well defined, with unusually straight edges for a ; fractal. Some of this smoothness and definition can be attribu- ; ted to the coloring, but if these attributes were not there to ; start, the coloring could never have brought them out. ; ; I decided on a rating of a 6 for today's FOTD. I could find ; nothing in the image worth a name, so I let it go un-named. The ; render time of 1-1/2 minutes is fast enough for even the most ; impatient fractalists. And the finished image is posted on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it is ready for instant viewing. ; ; Crystal clear skies, strong end-of-winter sunshine and a tempera- ; ture of 41F 5C made Sunday a rather pleasant day here at Fractal ; Central, which BTW is no longer located in Baltimore. For the ; past year it has been located in Sunbury, on the Susquehanna ; River, 140 miles north of Baltimore in central Pennsylvania. ; And yes, in 2 days we did go from a temperature of 73F 23C to ; 25F -4C with 8in 20cm of snow. Such extreme variability of the ; weather in such a short period of time is not common here, but ; it does occasionally happen in this part of the world as winter ; gives way to spring. The fractal cats do not concern themselves ; with outside weather. They have enough going on indoors to keep ; them occupied. ; ; My day on Sunday was moderately busy. I will be probably busier ; on Monday. Until next time, take care, and hope for the best. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_Mar_19_07 { ; time=0:01:22.33--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=+0.84578216792125090/-0.000424713579504\ 68/2217404/1/-132.5/-9.55692357855475461e-007 params=1/9/-0.5/5/0/0 float=y maxiter=550 inside=0 logmap=34 periodicity=10 colors=000hVohXojYok_olaoncoreovgoxiouglsfjpegldei\ bbea`b`Y`_W_ZUXYRUXPRWMOUKLQHIMFFIDDEE0A0AAE9AE7AE\ 6AEBPEGSELTHMUKNUJOUIPUHQUGRUHSUITUJUUKUUKUUKUTKTR\ HUPGVOHWMHXKHYJIYHIZFI_EJ`CJaAJa9J_8KZ8KZ8LY8MX8NW\ 8OV8PU8QT8RS7SR7TQ7UP7VO7WN7XM7YQoDPmEPlFPkFPjGPhG\ PgHPfIOeIOdJObJOaKO`LO_LOYMNXMNWNNVONUONSPNRPNUQNX\ RM_RMbSMeSMhTMkUMnUMqVLtVLwWLzXLzXLzYLzYLzZJzDKzEK\ zEKzEKzEKzFKzFKzFKzFKzGKzGKzGKzGKzHKzHKzHKzHLzIOzI\ RzIUzIXzJ_zJbzJezJhzJkzKnzKqzKtzKwzLzzLzzLzzLzzMzz\ MzzMzzMzzNzzNzzNzzNzzOzzOzzOzzOzzOzzPzzPzzPzzPzzQz\ zQzzQzzQzzRzzRzzRzzRzzSzzSzzSzzSzzTzzTzzTzzTzzUzzU\ zzUzzUzzUzzVzzVzzVzzVzzWzzWzzWzzWzzXzzXzzXzzXzzYzz\ YzzYzzYzzZzzZzzZzzZzzNzzOzzOzzOzzOzzOzzPzzPzzPzzPz\ zPzzQzzQzzQzzQzzQzzRzzRzzRzzRzzRzzSzzSzzSzzSzzSzzT\ zzTzzTzzTzzTzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzVzzVzzVzzVzzVzzWzzWzz\ WzzWzzWzzXzzXzzXzzXzzXzzo } 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========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
