This fractal appears to have unlimited ; goodies concealed in it. Today's image is located in one of the ; valleys of the strange bud that appears where East Valley should ; be. ; ; I named the image "Octopus Cloister". I have no idea why I ; chose such an unlikely name, when something like "Spots Before ; the Eyes" would have been more appropriate. I must have been ; thinking of an old Beatles' song (Octopus Garden) when I noticed ; the eight octopus-like tentacles. ; ; As the imag(p3) parameter of 100,000 shows, the image is another ; partly evaporated one. The blossoming inside parts have been ; made more interesting by rendering the image with the inside set ; to 'atan'. The overall color effect is unusual enough to earn a ; rating of a 7. ; ; The calculation time of 6 minutes would stretch to 1/2 hour on ; the old P200 machine. But by far the best way to see the image ; is to visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. ; ; Sunday turned out to be cooler here at Fractal Central, when the ; temperature reached only 84F 29C. The morning was brilliantly ; sunny, but clouds moved in during the afternoon and light rain ; sprinkles began at 6pm. Heavier rain is forecast but as of this ; writing, (10pm Sunday), it has not arrived. ; ; Both the fractal cats and the fractal people took it easy most ; all day Sunday, recovering from the exertion of Saturday. One ; of the best ways I know to recover from exertion is to explore ; the world of fractals. Today's image shows the result. The ; next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Odds are that it will make it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Octopus_Cloister { ; time=0:06:09.87-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.6266466029414582/-3.1542731893637/\ 6645462/1/76/6.14133409077011194e-006 params=2.5/-1.05/0.35/-5.05/0/100000/0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=atan periodicity=10 colors=000miUzjUzkTzmTzzTzpTzqSzrSltSkkSklRkzmzzmk\ zmezm`jOWzMRdLMaJmzzCWHBXIBXIBXJBXJAXKAXKAXLAXLAYM\ 9ZM9_N9`N9aO9bO8cP8dP8eQAfQFgRKhRPiSUjSZkTclThmUmn\ UroVvpVzqWzrWzsXztXzuYzvYzwZzxZzy_zz_zz`zz`zzazzGz\ zHzzHzzWzzizzgzzfCUdEUcGUaIV`KVZLVYNWXPWVRXUTXSVXR\ XYPYYO_YNaZLzzzeZIg_Hi_Fk`En`Dn`Bq_Ara8uY7vb5wX4yb\ 3uW5u_6sV8qX9oUBmVClTDjSFhQGfQIcNJbNLYLM_LNUJXWIQR\ H`SFTQEbODWNCfPEYQFfRH_TIgUKaVLlXNmYOrZQz`PzaTzbTz\ dWzeWzfZzhZziazjazlazmdznfzpgzvpzrjzzmzumzzpzxnzok\ zwpzxqsvnotkjsifqfbocYnaUlZPjWLiUHjWIjXIjYJjZJj_Kj\ `KjbLjcLjdMjeMjfNjgNjhOkjOkkPklPkmQknQkoRkpRkrSksS\ ktTkuTkvUkwUkxUEdaFb`Ga`G``H__HZ_IY_IXZJWZKVZKUYLT\ YLSYMRXMQXNPXOOWONWPMWPLVQKVQJVRIUSHUSGUTFTTETUDTU\ CTVDSVDRVEQVEPVEOVFNVFMWGLWGKWGJWHIWHHWIGWIFWIE000\ dJKhJMlJPpJ0rJ0rI0rI0tH0tH0zG0zG0zG0zN0zO0zU0zZ0zZ\ 0zU0zP0zP0zP0zK0zK0zK0zK0 } 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
