And ; speaking of the FOTD, it's a scene showing a midget in the ; fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.1)+C is iterated 11 ; levels up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral. ; ; The explosion-like features around the little midget have been ; seen many times before, but the midget itself, with its arrow- ; head shape, is kind of a rarity. This is why I chose it to be ; today's FOTD. ; ; Unfortunately, a fractal that is found so quickly can hardly be ; given a fair rating, so I gave today's image no official rating. ; I did name it "This Way Out" however, when I noticed the resem- ; blance to a directional arrow. ; ; The calculation time of 9-1/2 minutes on the P2000 computer is ; not too outrageous, and the completed image can always be seen ; instantly on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Absolutely perfect weather prevailed all day Saturday here at ; Fractal Central. The high temperature was 79F 26C, the sky was ; blue and decorated with puffy cumulus clouds, which cast their ; shadows on the surrounding hills. The humidity was low, and the ; wind was gentle. But the fractal cats were out of sorts, due to ; too little attention. With another perfect day due on Sunday, ; they will probably be out of sorts again. ; ; My day was actually quite enjoyable. Tomorrow will likely be a ; repeat. The next FOTD is due in about 22 hours, but I would not ; be surprised if it is late again. Until then, take care, and if ; the world is an illusion, is the illusion real? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= This_Way_out { ; time=0:09:26.29-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=+0.67928797718223780/+1.367001809932602\ 00/2.719357e+008/1/-55/3.97147505216619012e-005 params=1.1/0/11/525 float=y maxiter=36000 inside=0 logmap=516 periodicity=10 colors=000HbkIYjIUiJPhJKfKGeKBdK7cJKoJWzNTuRRpUPlY\ NgaLbdIZhGUlEPoCLsAGy7Bv8Ct8Dr8Ep8Fn8Gl8Hj8Ih9Jf9K\ d9Lb9L`9MZ9NX9OVAPTAQRARPASNATLAUJAVG9THAVHBXHBYHC\ _HDaHDbHEdIFeIFgIGiIHjIHlIInIJoJJqJKrJLtJLvJMwJNyJ\ NzKMyLMxMMwNMvOMuPMtQMsRMrSMqTMpUMoVMnVKqVMnVNkVPh\ VQeVSbVT`VVYVWVVYSVZPV`MVaKVcHVdEVfBVg8Vh6XcCZ_I_W\ OaSUcN_dJefFkgBqfAoeAndAmc9lb9ka9j`9i_8gZ8fY8eX8dW\ 7cV7bU7aT7`S6ZR6YQ6XP6WO5VN5UM5TG4TL5SP5ST6RX6R`7R\ d7Qh8Qi9Xl8Qo7Jr7Du66x60wB2vG4vL5uQ7uV8t_AwaAtcBqd\ CoeDlgEjhFgiGejHblI`mJYnKWoLTqMRrNOsOMtPNrUOpYOnaP\ lfPjjQhnOftQgrRgpTgoUgmVhkXhjYhhZhf`ieaicbiadi`ejZ\ fjXhjWijUjkSlkRmkPuxInkOh_TaNZJElWBch9Vt7NqIQnSTlb\ WilZexZgy`hzaizcjzdkzflzgmzhOzPQzRRzTTzUUzWWzYXzZZ\ z`_zbazcbzedzgezhgzjhzljzmkzomzqnzrczoTzlIzi7zg8zh\ 8zh9zi9zi9ziAzjAzjBzjBzkBzkCzkCzlDzlDzlDzmEzmEzmFz\ nFznFznGzoGzoFzqGzoGznCzm } 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|
