But these are not the Z^2+C lowlands; they are ; the Z^4+C lowlands, where boring everyday minibrots are much ; easier to find, but where the good ones lie far deeper. ; ; Today's scene lies unusually deep in its parent Mandeloid, and ; thereby escapes the boredom. But it is this extreme magnitude ; that makes the mathtolerance=0.05/1 entry necessary. The image ; is located on a short filament leading from a bud on the north- ; east shoreline of a large midget on the negative X-axis of its ; parent. This midget corresponds to the large midget at -1.75 on ; the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; Perhaps the most striking thing about today's scene does not ; become visible until two full outzooms are done on it, revealing ; a most un-quartic pattern, more reminiscent of the classic ; Mandelbrot set than the Z^4+C Mandeloid. ; ; The name "Deep in a Quartic" describes the location of the ; scene. Compared to the most recent fractal winners, today's ; image rates only a 6, but it is actually a rather pleasant ; diversion, well worth the few seconds needed to calculate the ; parameter file, which uses the passes=b option and the super- ; fast mandel4 formula. ; ; Though the parameter file is a fireball, it is still necessary ; to set up the parameter file for calculation. This small ; inconvenience may be avoided however by going to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there. ; ; Wednesday was an absolutely perfect late-summer day, with blue ; skies and a temperature of 73F 23C here at Fractal Central, but ; due to the heavier-than-expected work, I had no time to take ; advantage of the conditions. The fractal cats were too busy ; romping to notice the weather. The climax came when they got ; into a heated tussle on the stairs and rolled halfway down, ; cursing each other loudly. After that they took a break to make ; up. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Could it be another 10 ; or another lemon? Check back then to see. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_in_a_Quartic { ; time=0:00:10.47-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel4 passes=b center-mag=-1.219\ 512077076407/+0.00327130420977419/2.715843e+013/1/\ -25/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=255 logmap=80 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000A0KA0MA0OA0QA0SB0UC2WD4YH7`LAcPDfTGiWJka\ RjgZimfhsngyvguuuzzzgIPZHFRG6Y`QcuhWebOQXGBSSDhmEz\ c0mZ4hI7cLB_OEVSHQVLMYOH`RDeYNjcXoiftopyuzxvvwvsvw\ puwmtxjsxgsxdmoTggHb_6ZXCVUHSRMOOSKLXHIaSHMaG7bJGc\ MOdPXeSdXUfOVgMZzLbzKezJizHmpGphFt_EwSKsKPpEUmBZj9\ de7i_4nS2sK0nJ4jO8eSCaXGXWKTWNhfEigDjhCiiBhiBhiBgi\ BfiBfiBeizdizdjzcjzcjzbjzajzajz`jz_jz_jzZkzYkzYkzX\ kzXkzWkzVkzVkzUlzTlvTlrUlmVlhWlcXlZYlUZlP_m7`m7am7\ bm6cm6dm6em6fm6gn6hn6in6jn5kn5ln5mn5nn5on5po5qo4ro\ 4so4to4uo4vo4wo4xo4yn5zn6zn7zn8zn9zn9znAznBznCznDz\ nDznEznFznGznHynHxnIwnJvnKunLtnLsnMrnNqoOpoPooPnpQ\ mpRkpSiqTgqUeqUcrVarW_rXYsYWsYUsZTt_Tt`UtaUuaVubVu\ cWvdWveXveXwfYwgYwhZxiZxi_xh_xh`yh`yhayhayhaygbzgb\ zgczgczgdzgdzfdzfezfezffzffzfgzegzegzehzehzeizeizd\ jzdjzdjzdkzdkzdlzclzcmzcmzcmzcnzcnzbozbozbpzbpzbpz\ bozanzamzbmzblzbmzcmzc000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
