As a result, all parts of the set beyond a radius of ; 1.4142 from the origin have been cut off. These elements are ; lost forever, but the parts of the M-set that remain have under- ; gone a striking change. ; ; The equal-iteration bands have become equal-iteration blobs, ; which give a totally different effect to today's scene deep in ; the west side of the north branch of Scepter Valley. Because so ; much of the parent M-set is missing, I have named today's image ; "Short Shrifted". But I almost chose the name 'The Scepter of ; Power'. I rated the image at a 7 because of the unusually vivid ; color palette. ; ; There can be no complaints about the calculation time, which at ; a superluminal 3-2/3 seconds is about as brief a time as will ; ever be seen in a FOTD image. ; ; The time required to visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the completed image there is a bit longer, but the ; extra minute or so will eliminate the hassle of calculation. ; ; Steady rain and drizzle, an unseasonably cool temperature of 61F ; 16C, and a raw east wind kept all but the hardy few indoors here ; in the Fractal Central area on Tuesday. The fractal cats are ; hardly among the hardy few, and they have still not forgotten ; the great time they had chasing the bat that got into the house ; last week, but I fear they will have no more bats to chase for ; quite a while, if ever. ; ; My day was nominally busy. The next FOTD is scheduled in 24 ; hours. Most likely it will appear on schedule. Until next ; time, take care, be fractal friendly and environmentally alert. ; Fight global warming by rendering fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Short_Shrifted { ; time=0:00:03.41-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 float=y center-mag=-1.25866275871275700/+0.036890950315646\ 36/7.802864e+010/1/54/0 params=0/0 maxiter=6250 bailout=2 inside=0 logmap=851 periodicity=10 colors=000nmjcc`UUSKKIAK9gEIZBEQ8AHK78K3SIoMEdGAVB\ KK53AxaDrZ4RK2Gob8QJAKF8KD7KB6K95K73K52K31K1tGBhC8\ Y96MK4BK2EV7AN57K33K1NTKFJD7K6diGZcEUYCPSAKN8FK6AB\ 45K25lA4e83_73U62O51K31K20K1NKMBKBp8Ab67Q45DK2n_1g\ q0ai0Va0PV0JN0CK06K0kePdoLYfHRYEKQADK76K3mxXPUG0KN\ 0KH0KB0K5cccihbVUQFKD4kY2WM1KBufTm`PfWL_QITLELKAEK\ 77K3aDSVANPKIJKECK96K4p`yiWqbRiXNaQIVJKNDKF6K7zmSq\ eOhZK_SGRLCIK89K4ukxiakYS_NJOBKCYb7RV5KN4DK26K1I9z\ D6q94d4KTAXAbegtjAaV6JK3JdBCR76K3nria0YP0NC0BN0300\ Mc0I00F00OR0MU0WY0da0si0pa0zU0hN0bF0VM0JR01U00X00b\ 00r00zS0z`0zU2zF1UA1FK000E00C00A0cz0I60K40K2gWOMKC\ L`kFR_AIO5KCNg6HX4BM35K1Mz3B01Mx4mm3Ec2BU27K13K0Hi\ FEaCBUA8N75K52K2nk5zz4zz3zz2zz2zz1zz0zzfzzZzzSzzLw\ zEtz7qzPnzVkzHhzEezCbzA_z8XzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzz\ UzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUz\ zUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
