For extra interest the ; escape radius is reduced to 40 and the scene is rendered with ; the outside set to 'tdis'. ; ; This parent fractal is a string of 3 north-south aligned, nearly ; circular bays. Today's scene is located not too deep in one of ; the western valleys between the bays. ; ; I named the image "X Is Where It's At" because of the prominent ; 'X'-shaped figure around the central minibrot. This 'X' is ; almost entirely a result of the coloring, so I decided to reward ; myself by adding an extra 1/2 point to the 7 that I rated the ; image. ; ; In contrast to the images of the past few days, which had a ; calculation time of hours, today's image finishes in a mere 50 ; seconds. And it is even more convenient to go to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and view the already-finished image posted there. ; ; Another summer-like day here at Fractal Central was spoiled on ; Thursday by too many clouds. But despite the clouds, the temper- ; ature reached 77F 25C, bringing out the shirt sleeves and shorts ; in the area. Not needing clothes, the fractal cats spent the ; day stretched in the window, waiting for the sun. Unfortunately ; they got only a few minutes of sunshine for their effort, and ; extra tuna was needed to ease their disappointment. ; ; My day was busy but under control. The next FOTD will appear in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and with Halloween coming, ; isn't it a good thing that all those crazy supernatural things ; that make the day so much fun are not real . . . ; ; . . . or . . . I wonder . . . no, it couldn't be? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= X_Is_Where_It's_At { ; time=0:00:49.97-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=-0.047579342015/-1.341910586642/3793/1/\ -164/-8e-012 params=-5/-1.5/-1/-5/0/-60/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000uuM0SZ0QZ2M_AI`IFaQBbY8cFEX0JR1OK5SD9W7C\ Z9E`AGbBJdCLfDNhFQjGSlHUnIWpJiMLdLI`LGXKETKCPJALJ8\ HI6DI49H25H01H07K0DN2JQ4PT6VW8_YAY_JWaRUh_TwzLmzDc\ zQPWaFHm92gGBaNJXURXPMXKHXFCZA8Z5A`6Fc7Kf9PhBUiDZj\ CajCajFbjIbjLbjObiQbgRbeQccPc`NdXLdTJdRHcNEcLCbzz`\ tpZofUoZPpTKoTInWHp_FrbEseDkgCciCXkBPmBHoB9qA2sA1q\ A5oFFmJOkNTiQXgS`eUecXiaZmZ`qYbbWZPXVAYR0YN0ZS0_V1\ `Z3`a4ae6bh7blGWdPPYXJReCKm6Dl5Kl4Ql3Xk2bk1ik0o4lU\ 6kY8ka9jeBjiDimEiqFhjFgdFfZFeTFdMFcGFbAFa4EX7DTACP\ DBKGAGJ9CLBEMDGMEHMGJNILNJMNGJMEHLCFK9CJ7AI58H36H0\ 7H07H0CJ0GK0KL0ON0SO0XP0aQ0fS0kT0pU0tV0oT1kR6gPAcN\ FZLJWJOTISQGYMEfJCkHArS8zU7qPChBHc0M`0R_0WU0_P0WK0\ SF1O54K88GBBCEF8HI4KM0NP0QS0SR0UQ2VQ6XPAZPE_OIaOMc\ NQdNUfMYgMZfLXfLSfLNfLIeKDeK8eK3eK0eK0eYPekr`hpXfn\ TdlOajK_hGYgEXeCXdAWc9Wb7V`5V_4UZ2UY0TX0TV0SU0ST0R\ S0RR6EEJ11RbUL`VFYWAWX4UY } 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
