The formula mixes (-z)^n and (+z)^n to create ; fractals that are a combination of negative Z and positive Z. ; In today's image n=1.198. ; ; The parent fractal is not much to look at, but it has two most ; unusual buds on the northeast and southeast shore lines of its ; main bay. Today's image shows a peculiar midget on a very ; straight filament extending from the northeast bud. ; ; I named today's image "Very Strange Midget", which is a ; statement of fact, and rated it at a 5. It's a rather slow ; image, taking 19 minutes on the fast P2000 machine. Luckily, ; the image, which I sent on ahead, has been posted on the FOTD ; web site for instant viewing at: ; ; ; ; Another warm muggy day was eased by a heavy shower in the ; afternoon. The fractal cats watched the rain for a few minutes, ; then started playing with each other. Meanwhile, I tried to ; catch up on the commercial work. The next FOTD, the last of the ; month, will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what ; ever happened to the Grand Unified Theory? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= VeryStrange_Midget { ; time=0:19:08.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=plusmin.frm formulaname=MandelPMnew passes=1 center-mag=+6.69744631152213400/+7.204848758458367\ 00/2.496024e+007/1/-2.5/9.51742186047765948e-007 params=0/1.198/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=45000 inside=0 logmap=1754 periodicity=10 colors=000jPpkOnkOllNklNilMgmMemLdnLbnK`nKZoJYoJWp\ IUpISwKPpIRiHTcFVXEWQDYKB_DAa58a79b8Ab9BbABbCCbDDb\ EDbFEbHFbIFcJGcKHcMHcNIcOJcPKcRKcSLcTMcUMdWNdXOdYO\ dZPd`QdaQdbRdcSddSdbTeaUe_VeZWeXXeWYeUZfT_fR`fQafO\ bfNbfO`dPZcPXaQV`RSZSQYSOWTMVUKTVHSVFQWDPXBNY9MX5M\ Y7LZ8K_9K`AJaBJbDIcEHdFHeGGfHGgJFhKFiLEjMDkNDlPCmQ\ CnRBoSApTAqV9rW9sX8tY8uZ7v`6wa6xb5yc5zd4ze4vc7saA0\ AU0AU0AV0AW0AX0AY0A_0Aa0Ac0Ae0Af0Bg0Ch8Di7Cg7Cf7Bd\ 7Bc7Bb6A`6A_6AZ69X69W59V58T58S58R57P47O47N46L46K46\ JA5GG4EM3BS29Y16a04`25Z45X65V85TA5RC5PE5NG5LI5JK5H\ M5FN5HQ7IS8JU9KXBLZCN`DOcFPeGQgHRjJTlKUnLVqNWsOWxN\ XuPYrQYpSZmTZkV_hW_fY`cZ`a`aZabWcbUdcRfcPgdMidKjeJ\ lgIpeImcKjaMg_OdYQaWSZUUWSWTQYQO_NMaKKcHIeEFgAHiBJ\ kBKmCMoCOqDPsDRuESwEUyFWzFXzGZzG_zHazHczHdzIfzIgzJ\ izJkzKlzKnzLozLqzMszMtzNvzNzzMwzNuzOszPpzQnzRlzRjz\ SgzTezUkzrkzsjzsiztiztjzr } frm:MandelPMnew {; Jim Muth z=p2+10^(-100), c=pixel+(p3), a=real(p1)+1, b=imag(p1): z=a*((-z)^b+z^b)+c, |z| <= 250 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
