But I have an excuse. On ; Saturday morning the weather was so good that Fractal Lady got ; an uncontrollable urge to visit her old alma mater in State ; College, which is about 85 miles from Fractal Central. Our day ; was very pleasant though a bit too sentimental for my taste. ; When we got back to F.C. well after dark, we were exhausted. ; ; With no chance to create a new fractal last evening, I dredged ; an old one from the fractal bone yard this morning, and declared ; it FOTD for June 24. The image is a scene along the negative ; X-axis of the parent fractal that results when the formula ; Z^(2.003)+C is iterated 10 levels up the log ladder. ; ; I could hardly give rating to a fractal that has been lying in ; the virtual dust for a year or two. But I did give it a name. ; I named it "Rainy Day" because I have been saving it for just ; such a day as yesterday. ; ; The included parameter file ran in 8-1/2 minutes on the old P200 ; machine. I estimate it would take around 1-1/2 minutes on the ; P2000. ; ; Those who do not consider calculating fractals from parameter ; files to be their cup of tea may view the image on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; but because of the FOTD's lateness, Paul might not have a chance ; to post it for a few hours yet. ; ; Absolutely perfect weather prevailed throughout Central Pennsyl- ; vania on Saturday, making it a great day for nostalgia. The ; fractal cats greeted us eagerly when we returned, then promptly ; rushed to their food dishes. The FOTD for June 25 will appear ; on schedule in about 9 hours. Until then, take care, and keep ; the iterative faith. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Rainy_Day { ; time=0:01:30.00-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 center-mag=-1.33533148191821700/+0.001624130111275\ 15/604124/1/95/-3.61649927851925845e-008 params=2.003/0/10/0 float=y maxiter=1750 inside=0 logmap=149 periodicity=10 colors=000CZeB_dA_d9`c8Rm7Um6Wm5Ym4`m3bm2fn1io0npE\ sqRxrQupQrnPolPmjOjhOggOdeNbcN_aMX_zcKvZKrUKmPKhKK\ cHKZEKUBKP9KK6II3GI1FJ2HK2IL2JL2KM2LN2MO3OO3PP3QQ3\ RR3SR3TS3UT4WT4XU4YV4ZW4_W4`X5bY5cZ5dZ5e_5f`5g`5hZ\ 7gY9fXBeWDdVFdUHcTIbSKaRMaQO`PQ_OSZOQcNThNVmNXrNZv\ N`zNbzNdzNfzNizNkzNmzNozNqzNszNuzNwzNyzMxzMwzmvSmu\ RmtQmsPmrOmqNmpMmpLmoKmnJmmImlHmkGmjFmiEmhDmiCmhDm\ hDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDmhDahDwhDvzD\ fhDghDihDjhDlhDml7mhDeeIYaON`QRZTUYVXXX_VZbU`eTbhR\ dkQfnPhmOilOikOikNijNiiNjiMjhMjgMjgMjlWepe`toWxyRv\ zTtzUrzVpzWnzXmzYkzZiz_gyaexbdwcbvd`ueZsfXqgWohWmg\ WjfWgeWedWccWabW_aWY`WW_WUZWUZWUYWUXWVWWWVWXUWYTWZ\ SW_RW`QWaQWbPWcOWeNWgMWiLWkKWmJXrI_rHbuFevHhwJkxLn\ yNqzPtzQwzSzzUzzWzzYzz_zz`zzbzzdzzfzzhzzizzjzzkzzl\ zzlzzmzznzznzzozzpzzpzznzzlzzjzzhzzfzzdzzczzazz_zz\ YzzWzzUzzizzhzzgzzgzzfzzf } 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|
