This parent fractal is a near shapeless thing with one ; large main bay and only hints of higher-period buds. It is so ; shapeless that it must be studied carefully before its Mandeloid ; characteristics become evident. Today's image is located in the ; circle-filled debris piled along the western shore of the main ; bay of its parent. ; ; I named the image "Galactic Circles" because it is filled with ; tight little spiral circles that almost resemble tiny satellite ; galaxies. But it takes more than a horde of circles to make a ; fractal worth a high rating, and I could find nothing extra in ; today's image -- thus the rating of 5. ; ; The render time of 4-3/4 minutes is relatively fast as fractals ; go. And even better, the finished image is posted for viewing ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It has been asked how I fing good parameters to enter into the ; MandelbrotMix4 formula. In tomorrow's FOTD, we'll start discus- ; sing this question. ; ; Monday was another raw chilly day here at Fractal Central. The ; sky was cloudy, and the temperature, which should have been ; near 59F 15C, never made it above 43F 6C. The only thing mis- ; sing was the snow flurries. The fractal cats didn't mind the ; conditions one bit. They stayed cozy warm by the heat. ; ; My day was actually close to normal for a change. And with any ; luck at all, things will stay this way. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where there's ; fractals there's hope. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Galactic_Circles { ; time=0:04:41.66--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 center-mag=-0.49534375705044250/-0.526598078447610\ 50/5502.968/1/142.5/-1.55795903955535664e-010 params=1.25/0/220/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000OjJOkLPlMQmNQnPRoQSpRSqSYhWc`ZiSbnKelJdj\ IdhIcfHcdHbbGbaGb_FaYFaWE`UE`SD_RD_PC_NCZLBZJBYHAY\ GAYOGbVLgaQkhVpo_ttPcsQarR`qRZpSYoSWnTVmTUlUSkURjV\ PiVOhWNgXLfXKeYIdYHcZFbZEa_D`_B_`AZ`8Ya7Ya6Z_8ZY9Z\ WA_UB_SC_QD`OF`MG`LHaJIaHJaFKbDMbBNb9Oc7Pc5Qc4RZFV\ UQZP`aKkeGvhFrjFokElmEinDfpDcqC`sCYtBVvBSwEVtHXrJZ\ oM`mPcjRehUgfXicZlaanZdkXflVgmXgmZgk`gibggdgefhchh\ ajh_lhYnhWphUrhStgUmfVgeXadYWc_Qb`KabE`c8_d248C4AD\ 4BE4CF4EGWHHaMIbRKcWLe`MhcNkfOngQqhRtiSvkTwlUxmWyn\ XzpYzqZzr_zsYzuWzvUzwUzxUzyUzzZzzczzfzzizzlzzozzrz\ zuzzzxzztzzpzyksxgowcju_esV`qRWoNRmIMpEHrACu67wC7s\ I7oN7lT7mZ7mc7mi7mo7mt7m9WrBTwCRwEPwFMwHKwIIrKFoLD\ lNBiO9fPBcPDcQFZQGURIPRKKRMJSNLSPNTRPTTRTUSUVRUVRV\ WQVWQVWPWXPWXOWXOXYNXYNYZMYZMYZLZ_LZ_KZ_K_`J_`J_`J\ b_OdZSgYWzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzj\ zzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjzzjz } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
