In today's fractal we add only ; 1/10000 part of 3i to the M-set, but that tiny part of the ; imaginary number wreaks almost total havoc. ; ; Today's scene is located in an area that would lie near a small ; bud on the southwest shore line of the M-set -- that is if the ; parent fractal were the undistorted M-set. But though there is ; a resemblance, the parent fractal is not the M-set, it is little ; more than a parody of that mighty fractal. ; ; When 1/10000 part of 3i is added, to the Mandelbrot set, the set ; looks like someone took a knife to it and tried to slice it into ; quarters. I am not sure whether the result is a true fractal or ; an artifact of the formula, but whatever it is, it holds some ; interesting places to explore. ; ; Since I put next to no effort into today's image, I did not name ; or rate it. The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes on my P133 ; machine equals about 1-1/2 minutes on the standard P200 machine. ; This is brief enough so that little effort will have been wasted ; if the image fails to please. ; ; And if all else fails, the already-calculated image is available ; for viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It's been another spectacular day for me and the fractal cats ; here at Old Fractal Central -- lots of sun and a temperature of ; 75F 24C. While I spent the day enjoying the weather, the cats ; spent the day lurking in the holly thicket. Unlike the new ; fractal cats, who can only look outside, the old guys get to go ; there. ; ; The next FOTD will appear by technological magic in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and if no FOTD appears in 24 hours, it ; will be because the ancient machine I am working on has finally ; come to its last iteration. (Every time I turn on the old P133, ; it's a battle getting it to start up as it should.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_May-02_07 { ; time=0:02:41.75--SF5 on a P133 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMixImag function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.64917647027/-0.388846347602\ /31162.79 params=1/2/0.0001/3/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=255 periodicity=10 colors=000zW8zSCzQExMIrKKlIMhFQbDSYAXSAZMA`IAdDAf9\ AhQAnfIsxUxzdzz_urWphSmXOhMKdDH`8DX8AS8AP8AK8AG8AE\ 8DC8H88K88O88S88W88_88d88h8Kl8Up8ct8Un8Kh88aK8WX8Q\ h8Mb8IZ9FVABPAAKAAGAACAA8AA8DA8GA8KA8UA8cA8mA8zA8z\ KEz_PznZvZQ_IKFAFDAKDAPBAU9AZ8Ae8Ah8Af8Dd8K`8SZ8ZX\ 8fV8nQ8tP8zM8zK8zI8zS8zb8zj8zu8zz8xz8rx8ls8dpBZmGS\ jKKfQFdXA`bAZhAVnASrAQlAffAxjAslApnAmrAjuAfvBdxDbz\ HZzIXzKSzOQzQMzSKzUIuQb_OudMphKmlIhpHduF`xDXzBSzAP\ zAKzAGzACzA8zA8zA8zA8zA8zA8zA8xB8uD8nF8hH8dI8XS8Q_\ 8Ij8Dr88z88zC8zK8zS8zVDOAIIIOAGUAPYAXOAZFE`8Ve8ei8\ tl8zp8zp8zu8wzBlzOazbSzpIzzAzzAzzAzzAzzAzzAzzAzzAz\ xAzvAzrAzpAznAzlAzjAzlAzlAznAunAmnAdpAVpAMrAErB8rB\ 8uI8vO8xU8z_CzhGznIztMzzQzzSzwEzl8za8zS8zK8zI8zI8z\ I8zIAzHMzHXzHhzHuzHzzIzzIzzIzzIzuIznKzhKzbKzXKzQKz\ KMzFMz9Mz8Mz8Mz8Iu8Hp8Dn8Bj8Ah8Ad8A`8AZ8AV8AS8AQDA\ PIAMQAKYDIdFGlIEuMCzQAzzz } frm:MandelbrotMixImag {; Jim Muth z=p3, c=fn1(pixel), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2): z=a*(z^b)+d*(z^flip(f))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
