With 10,000 times ; as much Z^(-3) as Z^(2), one would think the resulting fractal ; would be little more than the 4-pointed Z^(-3) Mandeloid, but ; actually it is a hugely enlarged Mandelbrot set, with bits of ; debris in the center of the main bay as well as in every bud. ; ; Today's image is located in an elephant trunk in the East Valley ; area of the parent. At first glance the central midget appears ; to be a routine one of this area, but a comparison with the same ; area of the true M-set will reveal that the pattern around the ; midget has changed. ; ; The change was enough to inspire me to a rating of an 8. The ; name "Test" was a total accident. I forgot to name the image, ; so I went with the default name of all parameter files created ; by the program. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes would be stretched to ; around 7 minutes on the slower computer. But regardless of the ; speed of the parameter file, it is always almost instantaneous ; to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Another perfect day (sunny, 73F 23C) went un-noticed here at ; Fractal Central on Tuesday. Of course, if the day was un- ; noticed, then how do I know it was perfect? That's a question ; worth pondering. The fractal cats pondered. They pondered ; their food dishes, that is. ; ; My day was routine in all respects, except for the fractal, ; which turned out better than I had hoped. The next fractal will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fractals are the ; strangest creatures ever. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Test { ; time=0:01:13.97-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+27.7974630212/-0.7662145179/52524.91/1\ /-172.5/0 params=100/-3/0.01/2/0/350000/0/0 float=y maxiter=1550 inside=0 proximity=500 outside=fmod logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000wxwvwuuvstuqstorsmqrkpqiopgooenncmmalm_k\ lYkkWjjVijUhiUghTggSfgRefQdePddOcdObcNabM`aL_`KZ`J\ Z_IYZIYYHWYGVXFVWEUVDTVCSUCRTBRSAQS9PR8OR7NQ6OQ5NP\ 6NP6NO6NN6NM6NL6MK7MJ7MI7MH7MG7MF7ME7LC8LB8LA8L98L\ 88L78K69K59K49K39K29K19K09K1AK2AK3AK4AK5AK6AK7AK8A\ K9AKAAKBAKCAKDAKEAKFAKGAKHAKIAKJAKKAKKAKLAKMAKNAKO\ AKPAKQAKRAKSAKTAKUAKVAKWAKXAKYAKZAK_AK`AKaAKbAKcAK\ cAKdAKeAKfAPgAUhAZiAcjAhkAmlArmAvnAzoAzpAyqAyrAysA\ xtAxuAwvAwwAwzFwwAwuBwsBwqBwpBwnBwlBwkBriBmgBhfBcd\ BZbBUaBU_BVYBWWBWVBXTBYRBYQBZOB_MB_LB`JBaHBaGBaGB`\ HC`HC`HD_ID_IEZJEZJFZJFYKGYKGXLHXLHXLIWMIWMJVNJVNK\ VNKUOLUPLTQMTRMTRMURMUSMVSMVTMWTNXTNXTNYVNYWNZXN_Y\ N_YO`ZO`_Oa`Ob`ObaOcbOddNcbObaPa`Q`_R_ZSZYSYXTXWUW\ VVVUWUTWTSXSRYRQZQP_PO_OM`NLaMKbLJcKIdJHdIGeHFfGEg\ FDhEChDBiCAjB9kA8lB5nA7lSsBUtDVtFXtGYtI_tJ`tLbtMct\ OetPftRgtTitUjtWltXmtZot_ } 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
