The reason is ; simple -- I was in an unusually lazy mood all day. ; ; Today's image is a scene in the fractal that results when Z^3 is ; mixed with straight Z and straight C is added. The resulting ; parent fractal appears as a Mandelbrot set rotated so that its ; normally west-facing nose faces south and its eastern butt faces ; north. It has spikes extending straight out from both its nose ; and butt, and these spikes are littered with interesting bits ; and pieces of fractal debris. ; ; Today's scene is located in a small bit of chaos that lies on ; the spike extending south from the parent fractal's nose. I ; named the image "In a Blue Mood" because I'm in kind of a blue ; mood after the brief return to the place that served as Fractal ; Central for so many years and the aging cats who were the frac- ; tal cats even longer. ; ; After not very much thought, I rated today's image at a 6. And ; most of that rating comes from the (IMO) expert coloring. The ; calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is well within reason. Even ; more reasonable is a trip to view the image on the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; Another perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Sunday, ; as F.L. and I recovered from the trip back to Old Fractal Cen- ; tral on Saturday to see the old fractal cats Thomas and Tippy, ; who are still hanging in there after almost 18 years. They are ; now kept quite happy by my sister, who still serves their tuna ; treats every evening. Curiously, the old and the new fractal ; cats have never met, and probably never will. Tippy fights all ; strange cats first and asks questions later. ; ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and what came first -- the fractal or the numbers? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_Blue_Mood { ; time=0:02:21.12-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-0.00127303306054411/-1.076075627545789\ 00/3.21923e+009/1/92.5/-9.10166470642626013e-007 params=1/1/1/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=439 periodicity=10 colors=000J6aK8bLAcMCdNEeOGfPJgQNhRRiSVjTZkUblVemW\ coXbrV`uQ_wLZxGYyBXz7Wv9WrAWmBVkDVhEVeFVbHV_IVXJVU\ LVKMV9NY6QbBUiGcpLjwQcrPUmOKhOBcNC_NEXMGTLHPLJLKKH\ KMDJNAJQBKTBKVBKYBK`CKbCKeCKhCKwDKzUKzUKzUKwCMiCNe\ BPaBQYASUATQAVM9WI9YE8ZA8`68a5Ab5Bc5Dd4Ee4Gf4Hg3Jh\ 3Ki3Mj2Nk2Pl2Qm1Sn1To1Vp1WqIVVYU8WTAVTBUTCTTESTFQT\ GPTIOTJNTKMTLKrGJsHHtHFuI5QS6SR6TR7UQ7VQ7XQ8YP8ZP8\ _O9aO9bO9cNAdNAeNAgMBhMBiLBjLClLCmKCnKDoJDqJDrJEsI\ EtI7W28Y49_59a6Ac7Ae9BgABiBjKSiJQiIOeMMbPL_SKXWJUZ\ IRaGOeFLhEIkDFnCEjDEgDEdEEaEEYFEVFDSGDPGDLHDIHDFID\ CIO8QY5Yg2eh5fi7gjAhkCilFimHjnKkoMloOliNmcNnYNoSNp\ MMqGMrAMs4MtAKsFJrLHqQGpVEoYDo`BncAmf8li7kz6rzXzza\ zG3Q13S35U47Z69c7BhJCmVChfDcqDZpJaoOdnUgmZjmcmjakg\ `id_gbZe_XcXWaUV_SUZSUZRVYRVYRWYRWXQXXQXXQYWQYWPZW\ PZVP_VP_VFaIOcVOhUOmUOrUNvTNzTNzTNzSMzSMzSMzSMzRLz\ RLzRLzQLzQKzQKzPQz5azImzV } 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
