This parent fractal is an oversized thing ; that vaguely suggests a Mandelbrot set that has been rotated 180 ; degrees and filled with fascinating intricacies. Today's scene ; in located in the part of the parent fractal which might be the ; remnants of the large minibrot on the negative X-axis. ; ; I named the image "A Lot of Nothing" for no logical reason at ; all. There certainly is a lot of something in the image -- an ; infinity of it. In fact, there is enough stuff in the hidden ; depths of today's image to give every fractalist on earth a ; different infinity to explore from now through eternity. ; ; After I named the image, I rated it at a 6-1/2. Once again I ; rewarded myself for the extra effort I put into the coloring. ; ; The calculation time of 13-2/3 seconds is as fast as lightning. ; Even the worn-out old P200 machine finishes the calculation in ; under 1 minute. But the most convenient way of all to view the ; image is to go to the FOTD web site and view it in finished form ; there. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Saturday turned out to be a near perfect day here at Fractal ; Central, with a deep blue sky set off by puffy white clouds, and ; a temperature of 68F 20C. The fractal cats must have found the ; day pleasant also, for they spent a good part of it stretched in ; the sun streaming through the south window. ; ; My day was un-notable, the way I wish all days would be. The ; next FOTD fractal will be ready in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and be on the watch for that elusive something known as ; the ultimate reality. It might be a fractal! ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Lot_of_Nothing { ; time=0:00:13.65-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+5.065449254256304/-1.226811093382541/\ 6.289509e+009/1/101.747334433732746/-0.00792485\ 470680458215 params=0.3/-3/-0.3/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=400 inside=0 logmap=29 periodicity=10 colors=000A9kAAiABgACeBDc8E`6FX7ET7DP7BL7ACFBDNCEU\ DF`EGlFHsGUzUczimzzzL8k95tCPBHgFmzJQzN0zRZzVbYZw_b\ w`fd_WZ_LQTMIMNAFO28O0`K5XQAUVER_JOdNLzT_zYwzSwzMe\ zHbzKXzMSzONzRIzTDzV8zX3zT7zPBzMEzIIzFLzLRYRWdWala\ fsWdnQbiK_cEmZ7mT7mF6m08mABmKEmUDbUCbTAaS9aS7`R6`Q\ 4_P9_SE_VJ_YOZ`TZcYZfcYieaegeaiiYlmUnqQpuMszHpqNmg\ UiZ`fPgcGn_6u_Eq_Nl_Wg_db_mY9miDrNBpJ9mE7kA5h53e0R\ g6njDnhHneLnbQn_UnXZnUbmRgfTeZWcRYaK`_CbY4eWObMg_C\ faHecNdeScgYbicakh`mnZptZoqYnnYlkXkhXieWhbVfZWgTYi\ N_kHamBZmBVmARm9osoelcWdRMXFCP2CV3C`4Cf6Cl7Cr9CgLD\ XYEMjFBwuh7viTwjotgnqcmn`lkXkhUjeQibMgFm7HmDKmKMmR\ PmYSmcUcjXhq_nxchuhbqlXmqRjuLfzEbmzb_zcNzd9zeKzhWz\ kgznszqhznXzkMzhAzdyzJqzShzayz2vzBrzKozTkzagzkkzap\ zSuzIzz7zzXyzvyzryznyzjxzfxzbxzZwzUizSVzPHzM2zJjze\ hzgfzjdzmazp_zsYzvVzy_zyezxjzxpzwtzsyznozVdzBjzBqz\ CnzDjzEgzFczG`zHXzITzKTzK } 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
