The scene is actually located deep in the ; East Valley of a far larger, but still tiny Midget. For this ; reason I named the image "East Valley Scene". ; ; I might have rated the image a 7, but negative-stem images of ; this sort are among the first things a fractal newcomer finds. ; Since the area has been so thoroughly explored, I finally ; settled on a rating of a modest but honorable 6. ; ; Even though the image is well within the range of arbitrary ; precision math, it is unexpectedly fast, finishing in only 3-2/3 ; minutes on the P4-2000. On the P200 it would take around 20 ; minutes to finish -- still a speedy time. ; ; Most of the effect is caused by the closeness of the escape ; radius. To see a totally different image go to the 'Z' screen ; and change the bailout to 25. It's too bad that the type=mandel ; formula permits only integer bailout values to be entered. It ; would be interesting to see what happens when the bailout ; actually reaches the scene. ; ; The image has been posted for convenient viewing on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; A steady rain made Monday an indoor day here at Fractal Central. ; The fractal cats made the most of things by chasing each other ; through the hallway all morning, then aleeping for most of the ; afternoon. My day was occupied with routine work. The next ; FOTD fractal image should be posted in about 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and wonder what it's all about. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= East_Valley_Scene { ; time=0:03:41.62-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.9999991175871\ 771353513668292373759/0/1.013802e+030 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=0008u0LZ0ZD05ljGX`wJSrNJ5OOwOLQ0I`0E0zzj0ww\ ejjOZwENyGWyJQoPQlJLk6GuA9nEOn80c00e02g05i080B0300\ O06zSlzGZu5NX0OGz0On0WW0cB6zzzzUbDOOLGLU8Ib0EGzNJc\ eXGQg0Xi0L0iOztNS0zb0cuprpLWzXzzNzzDir3SlgNjQIj9E3\ EJE8GO3E`0DSnUZUNeBGzuzzcpuObp8O900J03S06b09piLnWI\ lIGj5DzLzy6i00n30`O0N0zzQ00X02c06JQeUEWb3L0zSBUJL0\ zU0lb0U3gEEUDOID`5BzQzzrzwLyrWzjNrcEQX60Q00XN0cl0l\ j0ui0zg0zg0ri5XjLDlb0nt2bL6Q03eD0tbzztOQip0UZ2JGSc\ OIWW9Oc2Izu0000UB3b285rbyj0rJ000zB0iz00z00g0230eO0\ Q02DQ0OX0Jc0EWyz6el000I00z2cz0Wy0Or0Itizz0Qu0Lp0Gw\ EN2bzDQyOEg`3Q0ZOWlr`UbeBOE0zQ0l`0U0O0DD0U35nXIlNG\ lDEj3DN0zy0`r0Ny60r02UXZbDNX00zZ2uXrz5Q00L0WENBDzi\ zuQlp9UO0pW0e`0We0L000503Q08ltc0zzGUi000E00W05cBce\ 6Wg2Oi0IlD0j63j08N0OU0LZ0Ie0E0SNG9G0lzLJb0zBEUBzz0\ 0zINZE0r`LNNe0Sg0Li0G0DzG66O38W09c0B0GG89EL5DZ0BNn\ zUZpZLbe6O3`NILIX6EBE8U39 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
