This combination ; creates a parent fractal that resembles a Mandelbrot set with ; its west, north and south sides torn apart. Today's image is ; located in what remains of the north bud of the M-set. ; ; Most of the effect of hazy lavender circles was achieved by ; calculating the image with the inside set to 'bof60', which ; colors the inside according to how close the points come to the ; origin. ; ; I did not name or rate the image, since it's more a show of ; Fractint's program features than a fractal that is worthwhile ; in its own right. ; ; The calculation time of 5-1/3 minutes is a bit slow. A faster ; way of viewing the image is to go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and see it there. ; ; I have seen comments on the list about the slow-down that ; happens when Fractint is run under the version of DOS in Windows ; XP-Pro. Once the slow-down kicks in, the only way I know to ; defeat it is to baby-sit the machine and strike a key every ; minute. But I think I have found a way around the problem, ; which totally avoids the slow-down and lets fractals calculate ; at top speed to completion without human intervention. I will ; do a few more tests to see if I am right, then post my findings ; in a day or two. ; ; The Friday weather turned out near perfect here at Fractal ; Central -- blue skies, light winds and a temperature of 64F 18C. ; The cats seemed not to notice the perfect weather. They were ; more concerned with finding trouble to get into. ; ; In my department, the big rush, which has been going on for over ; a month, is almost at its end. And it sure will be good to have ; things back to normal. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and a paradox arises when we try to ; squeeze into our limited concept of reality something that will ; not fit there. A typical example is the grandfather paradox. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_Mar_31_07 { ; time=0:05:20.65--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-0.96998637854805090/+0.605163364931592\ 80/3203.329/1/-102.5/1.85112133954667968e-011 params=1/0.1/1/2/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof60 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000zezxbzt`vnXrhTmbPhXKcRGZKCUE8PA5051000K0\ 0A000000A0A00K00PP0tN3vI7zECzCIz8Nz7Tz3Zz0bz0hz0oz\ 0tz0vz1vz7xzAxtGxmKzfPz`VzTZzNdzGfz8lz3pz0sz0qz0mz\ 0fz0bz0Xz0Tz0Pz0EzA5tN0mX0fh0`t0Vz0Pz0Tz0Xz0`x0kq0\ nk0pe0rZ0tT0vN0xG3zA7z5Az0Ez0Iz0Gz1GvCErPEm`ChmCcz\ 5cx0cv0ct0cq0co0fm0hm0kf0mb0mX0oT0oN0qI0sC0u80v5Ny\ 0cz0mz5XoCGeK1VT3XN5XI7ZE7ZA8Z5A`1A`0Cb0Eb0Eb0Ge0I\ e0Ie0Zq0oz5zzNzzbzzZzzXzqTzfRzXNzNKzCGz3Ez0Cz0Ez0E\ z0Gx0Gv0It0Iq0Ko0Km0Nk1Nh1Pf1Pe3Rb3R`3Rb7VbAZbC`bG\ ebIfbNkbRobTqbXvbZxbbzbfzbhzbmzbozP`zAPz0Az00z00z0\ 0z00z00z03vACoNNhZXbmfXzqRzzKzzGzzKzzNzzRzzTzzXzzZ\ zz`zzezzfzzkzzmzzqzztzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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
