And ; I didn't have to search long to find today's scene, which lies ; at only a moderate depth on the west side of the valley. ; ; A fractal that comes almost automatically, as today's did, can ; hardly be rated above average, so I gave it a rating of an ; average 5. ; ; I named the image "Seahorse Rhapsody" when the bluish cast of an ; earlier version reminded me of the 'Rhapsody in Blue'. I have ; since toned down the blueness, but the name remains. ; ; Perhaps the best feature of today's fractal is its very brief ; calculation time, which is only 24 seconds on the P4-2000. The ; image would finish in about 3 minutes even on the tired old P200. ; ; But why bother at all with calculating parameter files when the ; image is posted, already rendered, on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With a high temperature of 97F 36C, Saturday was the hottest day ; in several weeks here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats, ; whose ancestors lived in northern Africa, where it is even ; hotter, didn't mind the heat, but they would have liked a few ; more crickets to play with. My day was kept busy with a trip to ; State College, but it was still enjoyable. The next FOTD is due ; in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I wonder what wonders ; are yet to be found in Fractaland, wherever it is located. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Rhapsody { ; time=0:00:23.58-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel inside=0 center-mag=-0.75031876327625280/+0.014101150134497\ 41/4.194136e+007/1/166.5/1.26107747491430167e-005 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=27500 periodicity=10 colors=600df5ge5jc5ma5p_5sY5vW5yU5zS5zQ5zO5zM5zK5z\ I5zG5zE5xC5tA5n85j65c55_SRZSSYSTXSUWSVVSSUSRTSQSRO\ SQKUPGWOBYN6_N5aN5cN5eN5_N5WN5SN5YN5aN5eN5aN5_N5YN\ 5WN5UN5SN5QN5MN5KN5JO9IPFIQMIRSIRZIS`IS`IS`IS`IS`I\ SbISbISbISbISbISeISeIQeIMeIIeIGeIv5Iv5Iv5Is5Ii5Ib5\ IUFIOQIGbI9nIBgID`IDWIGQIIJKIFQK9YM5eM5nO5tQ5zQ5zT\ 5zT5eO5IKMIIlI9WI5II5BI5GI5LI5QI5VM5_Q5dUCiWEnWIpW\ KqWHqSDqK6nI5jI5fI5bI5ZI5VI5RI5NI5JI5FI7BIB7ID5IG5\ II5JM5MO5ST5WU5aX5e`5lb5pe5wi5zk5zn7zpDzsIztMzpOzk\ OzfOzaOzXQwSQuNQpIQpDSp8Sp5Sp5Sn5Un5Un5Un5Un5Ul5Wl\ 7Wl7Wl9Wl9ZlBZjBZjDZjD`jD`jG`gH`gIbgJbgLbgMbgMeeMe\ eMeeOeeOgeQgcQgcTgcTgcUjcUjcXjaXjaXlaZlaZla`l_`n_b\ n_bn_en_eo_goYgoYgoYioYipYkoWkqWnoWnqWoqWqoWqqUsoU\ soUtoUuoSvoSvoSvoSvoQvoQvoQvoQvoOvoOvoOvoOvoMvoMvo\ MvoMvoMvoOvoOvoOvoOvoOvoOvoQvoQuoQtoQsoQroQqnQpnSo\ lSnlSmjSljSkgSjgWieZh5ag5 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
