We examine instead some smaller ; rings inside the largest ring. What we find there is a near ; perfect octagon surrounded by an 8-pointed star. The octagon ; inspired the name "Octagon Quarter". ; ; Though I put some effort into the color palette, I failed to ; bring out the full potential of the underlying fractal shapes. ; As a result, I could rate the image no higher than a 7, which is ; the minimum rating for fractal satisfaction. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is brief enough to offend ; the patience of not even the most impatient fractalist. An even ; simpler way of seeing the image is to go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. But doing so will cause you to miss the ; pleasure of watching the image come to life one line at a time. ; ; Another baking hot day, (97F 36C), here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday made outdoor life unpleasant. The fractal cats, being ; indoor animals, did not concern themselves with the outdoors. ; Their chief worry was about getting their food. ; ; Despite a fairly heavy work load, I found time enough for ; today's FOTD image. Tomorrow will likely be the same. Until ; then, take care, and what is the meaning of man's search for ; meaning? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Octagon_Quarter { ; time=0:01:14.81-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+202.2548720082665/+360.4289257867374/\ 2.050002e+008/1/-165/0.0748337746768868439 params=2.5/-1.05/0.35/-5.05/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=50000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000oakmeiligkmeinchmagl_hk_hj_hi_hh_hg_hd_h\ a_iY_iV_iS_iP_iL_iI_iF_iC_kIUlOOnTIoZCqd6ri1vpLywc\ vv`tuYrtWosTmrRkqOhqMfpJdoHanE_mCYl9Wl7agFgbNmYUsT\ axOhuMgrKgoIglGgiEggCfdAfa8fZ6fW4fU2fY7Z`BScGLfKEi\ P7lT0gEUc0vWFpOUkGhe8w`Es_Ko_Qk_Wg_adZg`ZmXZsTZxQZ\ uITrANo2IgHL`VOUiRNwUTjQZZMdNIiBEkADlACnABoABqAAr9\ 9t99u98w97x97u8Dr8Io8Om7Tj7Zg7ce6ib6n_6tY6yATS9WR8\ YQ8_P7aO7cO6eN5gM5iL4kK4mK6hM7cO8ZQAUSBPUCKVBUZAbb\ 9kfK`dUQcEK7FJ8FI9GHAGGBHGCHFDIEEIDFJCGJCHKBIKAJL9\ KL8LL8MQEPUJRYPTaUVe_XjdZnj`robvudzzfCUdEUcGUaIV`K\ VZLVYNWXPWVRXUTXSVXRXYPYYOcOAaZLcOAeZIcNAi_FaMAn`D\ _LAq`AYKAu_7WJAxY4UIATW5SHASV8RGARUBQFCQTDPEFOQGOD\ INNJNCLVLMMANUJXKENRH`HCRQEbH0UNCfJ9YQFfNC`TIgRGbV\ LlVIiYOrZJt`PzaLzbRzaUseWzfYzhZziazjazldzmdzngzpgz\ qjzrjztmzumzvpzxnzyszwpzxqsvnotkjsifqfbocYnaUlZPjW\ LiUHjWIjXIvIutMssQqqUopYm } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
