Today's image is located in a ; rudimentary East Valley in the southeast part of the largest bay. ; ; Since I feel I am overdoing these low-order fractional images, I ; could rate today's effort no higher than a 6. I named it ; "Terraces Without End" because of the terraced effect created by ; rendering the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. ; ; The somewhat excessive calculation time of almost 12 minutes on ; the fast machine and one hour on the slow unit is due to the ; unusually large maxiter of 150,000. To save time, I have sent ; the finished image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, where ; it may be viewed without needing to run the parameter file. The ; web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Near perfect weather here at Fractal Central on Halloween kept ; the streets filled with assorted T-or-T ghosts and goblins, ; while the fractal cats kept themselves busy watching and chatter- ; ing at the local pigeons. ; ; My day was neutral, which is all I can say about it. The next ; FOTD is due in 24 hours. With any luck, it will actually appear ; at that time. Until then, take care, and did fractals have a ; special creation or did they just happen? And what's the dif- ; ference? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TerracesWithoutEnd { ; time=0:11:58.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=+0.1349853617\ 9728480/-0.00172600004154470/737862.7/1/-102.5/\ 8.45140832317e-011 params=1.4142/0/1.4142/0 float=y maxiter=150000 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000mePqgSthUsdTr`TrYTqUTpQTpNTpR_pVepZlparg\ Ym_ViSSdKO`CLW4ISDGTLFUTEV`DWhCXjJYlQYnWYobZqhZsoZ\ tuZngShVMbIG`IIZIKXILhINcIOZIQTHMNGHIFDFD8MIHSPQYW\ Yccfhfhmjkrnmsjjshhsffsddtbbt_`tXZtVXuSVmPTcMRUJPK\ GNPDLUAJZ8Hc9JhAKmALrBMvBNzCOvCPrDQmDRhEScETZFUoFV\ oGWoGXkFYhFZdF_aE`ZE`VEaSDbODcLDdIDdJH`KLYKOVLSSLW\ PMZMNbJNfGOiDOmAPq7Pt4Qu7RuAzvDzvGzrJzmLzwOzxRzxUz\ yXzy_zyazwZzvXztVOsTLqRJpPGnaEmLBkJ9jHChGFfGIdFLbF\ O`ERZEUXDXVD_TCbRCePBhNBkLAnJAqH9tF9fENUE_GDl3DyJU\ vYjslfpmflnfiof0pfcqw`rwYsvVtvSuuPuuMihcYXcNLcMOcL\ QcLSmKVmKXmJZmJamISmIemHhmHjmGlmGKmDfwBfw9fw7fw5fw\ 3fw3fw3fw3fw3fw3pw3pw3pw3pw3pw3pw3zw3zw3zw5zw6zw7z\ w8zw9zwAzqBzqCzqDzrEzrFzrGzrKzpNzoRznUzmYzl`zkdzjg\ zikzhnzgrzfuzefzjTznFzs1zw5zvzzuzztzzszzrzzqzzpzzo\ zznzzmzzlzzkzzjzzizzizzjzzkzzkzzlzzlzzmzzmzznzznzz\ ozzozznzz8zzBzzEzzGzzJzzM } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
