A rated it at a ; modest 6-1/2, one-half point of which is due to my coloring. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is reasonable. It is ; equally reasonable to view the image by visiting the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; where it has already been calculated and posted. ; ; Heavy rain fell all night Wednesday here at Fractal Central. By ; the time it ended at 11am Thursday, 3.6 inches or around 90mm of ; rain had fallen. The rest of Thursday was cloudy and blustery, ; with a temperature of 45F 7C. A few puddles appeared in the new ; fractal cellar during the downpour, but nothing like the several ; inches that used to flood into the old fractal basement during ; heavy rain. The fractal cats slept through it all. ; ; My day was adequate. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same. The ; next FOTD will appear in 24 hours at this same internet spot. ; Until then, take care, and if I could, I would go back to the ; year 1900 and spread the news that fractals were coming. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Seahorse Named_E { ; time=0:02:20.66-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=floor center-mag=+0.5129196182676702/-0.567400274301192/\ 1.208445e+010/1/37.4997739850628022/0.000251376\ 462945825108 params=2.71828182845905/0/4/0 float=y maxiter=4800 inside=0 logmap=228 periodicity=10 colors=000cRm_PjWNjSMkKRdIT_LTVIOcGT6EP7bhoBYoCSTJ\ WUFRIISwy`X`TK5gV9XJGpQEeJDWDbQJWPGPODINA9uaAlUBcM\ CVEZOQRNJJMDl`9_W8OR7v7mfCZRHLsSudQdQOOI0vv_MZTEgb\ t_YgSUWKQJlPu_OdONOF58EA7DE7CI72jB7Y99hm6qR9aHgJPN\ OE2T4S3vTFwTQwU`xUkxZ`jz_XzRJuK5mFBgA0a50Y00T00P00\ 5bx9UYaBGTFDKJAa0cV6VPBNIHFixoAJ0BK2BL4CM6A4IB9FBD\ CCI9d7_VCQLHG2bg7UP1UZ_BmuwqimeZdUNVIVOHxhW8baAUMh\ umYiZNYLAyPBeG671t8YhCRYFKNJDekrWbbMUNKXoGRTFpOEeI\ DWCaXIVUFPRCIO9SmbMcSHVHNq8Ha7gIsXKbMLNV1GmO`cNTVN\ MLMEbwXGaiEUQUeUUaUCWICRCFI4EJ5DK6CL7GEmFGbEISDKH1\ zpedP826A97BG7A05BB6E9nDGTwhsg`bSTNPIzIKzoozW`zEZz\ DSz9YzTEzOGzKIzGKzBozCezCWzGvzEizDKzH6zFAzEEzDIz6v\ zW9zMGzNZzKVzHSzEPz53z8AzAGzPjzLzZIzQFzGIzrLzvGzX1\ zbVzZOzPIzG6zs9zVQzH1zA7z8YzkzzlzzSzzHzzCzzizzizz7\ zz7zzSzzMzzHzzCzzAzz8zzYzzKzzvzzvzzXzzazztzzczzNzz\ VzzQzzLzzGzzBzzUzzIzzvzzX } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-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|
