Today's scene is located on the north shore of the ; bullet, where some very tiny mandel-buds are located. ; ; I named the image "Nevermore Land" because after finding what ; lies there, it is unlikely that I'll ever go there again. I ; could rate the image itself at only a 5. My semi-expert color- ; ing efforts added the extra half-point. ; ; Today's fractal image shows an abstract land of fractals -- a ; land created by numbers and populated by the horde of similar ; figures that fill the frame. Not surprisingly, as we dive ; deeper into the image, these figures are repeated at ever ; smaller sizes without end, all the way to infinitesimal infin- ; ity. That's the way fractals are. ; ; An overwhelmingly prominent, blazing white minibrot sits at the ; center of today's scene, looking strangely out of place, almost ; as though it were dropped there by some higher power. It has ; little symmetry to betray its existence, and almost no basin of ; attraction around it. Other smaller minibrots are scattered ; throughout the scene, all of them similar to the one in today's ; image. ; ; The parameter file at the end of this discussion takes just over ; 5 minutes to complete on the fireball P4-2000mhz machine. On ; the droopy old P-200mhz snowball unit it takes about 1/2 hour. ; On the FOTD web site the image has already been calculated and ; posted for maximum enjoyment. The web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and occasional rain spoiled the day Tuesday here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature of 72F 22C, however, was quite ; pleasant. The fractal cats, who dislike rain, spent the day ; watching the humans do their work. ; ; My work was finished earlier than expected, which gave me a ; chance to find today's parent fractal. The next fractal will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and numbers describe ; the universe so well because we created them intentionally to do ; just that. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Nevermore_Land { ; time=0:05:11.42-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-1.0890400699647/+0.07599607053382/\ 7288.355/1/-35/1.85112133954667968e-011 params=1/1/1/-0.05/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=255 logmap=128 periodicity=10 colors=000aAp_8nY8nW8lU7lS7jQ5jO5hM5hK3fI3fG1dE1dC\ 0bA0b80_70_50Y30Y10W00X10X10X10V30V30U30U30T50T50T\ 50U70T70U70T70TC0QG3OK7OOAMTEMXIK_MKdQIiXIn_GrdGvg\ EzlEzpCztCzxAzz8zzMzzXzzezzpzzzvzzrzzmzpmzemzXmzMm\ zCmzAmzAizAezCazCYzCUzCQzCMzCIzCEzCAzC6zC3zC0zC0zC\ 0zC0zA0zC0vC0rC0nE0iI0eM0aQ0YV1VX5Q_8MbCIeGEiIAlK7\ nM3pO0nO0lM0jK0iI0jG0kE0lE0mE0nE0mE0lE0kE0kE0kE0kG\ 0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kG0kI0lI0mK0n\ K0oM0pM0pO0pO0pQ0pQ0pQ0pT0pT0pT0pV0pV0pV0pV0pV0pV0\ pV0qV0rV0sV0tX0uX5vYAwYFxZKy_Kz`LzaNzdKzdMzaMzaNza\ KzaJzaIzaJz_Iz_Jz_Jz_Lz_Lz_NzYNzYPzYPzYRzYRzYQzXSz\ XRzXRzXSzXSzXRzVUzVTzVTzVVzVVzVVzTXzTXzTXzTYzTYzTY\ zQ_zQ_zO_zMazKazIazGdzEdzCdzAez8ez7ez5ez3ez1ez0ez0\ ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0ez0gz0iz\ 0lz0nz0pz0rz0tz0vz0xz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zzzzz } 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
