Today's image takes us to Seahorse Valley hyperspace ; for an equally odd view of things. ; ; To start, I must apologize. I realize that the image holds ; little artistic value, which explains the abysmal rating of a ; 3, but it does have a modicum of mathematical value, and it ; calculates fast as lightning, in a mere 10 seconds, which makes ; it a better value than yesterday's image. ; ; I named the image, "This is a Seahorse" -- a self-explanatory ; title. It is indeed a seahorse, or at least part of one, though ; I doubt that a biological seahorse could ever be sliced to give ; such a section. And there are also many small near-perfect ; seahorses scattered throughout the scene. ; ; Yes, the past two images do indicate that I am feeling a spate ; of writing about the fourth dimension coming on. To me, the ; fourth dimension is one of the most tantalizing mysteries, one ; that I never grow tired of pondering. ; ; But for now, the best way of ending today's discussion is to ; remind the FOTD readers, wherever they may be, that today's ; completed GIF image is available for instant viewing on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With a temperature of 95F 35C, and lots of haze and humidity, ; Tuesday was far too muggy for comfort here at Fractal Central. ; It was a good day to stay indoors and work in air-conditioned ; comfort, which is pretty much what I did. The fractal cats did ; the same, except when they started worrying me for their evening ; treats. Luckily, Fractal Lady served the treats, while I was ; lost in hyperspace. ; ; The next FOTD, probably another low-rated trip to Julibrot ; hyperspace, will appear here in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and why are we ourselves? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= This_is_a_Seahorse { ; time=0:00:10.28-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2a passes=1 center-mag=-0.00786577872582554/+0.029190503024156\ 81/340.4706/0.05931/79.6471443563626167/-55.931342\ 8683244211 params=90/23/-2/36/-0.744416/-0.121192/\ -0.744416/-0.129912/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=24 periodicity=10 colors=0003lw5mw9nwDowGpwKqwNrwRswUtwYuw`vwdwwgxvi\ vujutktsmrrnqqoppqnormnslnpjmmiljhkggjdfiaeh_dhXcg\ UbfRaeO`dL_cIZbGYbKXaOW`RV_VU_ZV`XUaVTbTScRRdPQeNP\ dLNZLMVKKPKHKJGLKFMKEMKFOLHQLKSKMUKOVKRXJTZJW`JYbO\ XgJ_cFYcBWc7Wc7V`7PW7IK4KK7KKAKKCKKFKKIKJKKMNKUPK_\ SKcVKdaKcgKblKbpLarS`tY_wcZzhYznWzqRaoKVlEPmGOmLNm\ PMmTMmXLm`KmeJmiJmmImqHmuEnzHlyJjyMhxOgxRexTcwVbwY\ `w_ZvbXvdWvfUuiSukRunPtpNtrMtoLrmLpkKnhKmfJkdJiaIg\ _IfYIdVHbTH`RG_OGYMFWKFUIFTCOZ7Xd1fh2di3bj3`k4Zk5X\ l5Vm6Tn7Rn7Po8Np8Lq9JqAHrAFsBDtCBtC9uD7vD6vC9nBBfA\ D_9GS8IK8KD9II9GM9EQACUABYA9aB7eB5i82nB4mE5mH6lK7l\ N8lQAkTBkWCkZDjaEjdGigHijIimJhpKhwGerLhmQkiVmhUkhU\ jhTihTggSfgSegRcgRbgRafQ_fQZfPYfPXeOVeOUeOTeNReNQd\ MPdMNdLMdLLeMMdLKcKJbKIaJG`JF_IEZICYHBXHAZGD_GG`GI\ aGLcGNdGQeGSfGVhFXiF_jFakFdmFfnFioFkpFntBvqFpoJjmN\ dkR_iVUgZOebIagEOWwMXwKYw } frm:SliceJulibrot2a {; draws most slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)+c |z|<=real(p5+9) } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
