At one time, some- ; thing about it must have reminded me of a shell, but all I can ; see in it at this time is a variety of fractal stuff, which is ; just adequate for being the FOTD for today. And no, there is no ; picture of the Goddess Venus hidden in the depths. ; ; The image lies in the parent fractal that has been the source of ; every image so far in December. It is located at the junction ; of a very large ring in the western extremities of its parent. ; and when I say extremities, I mean extremities. The X-coordi- ; nate of the image is greater than negative 203. ; ; The rating of a 6.5 is rather above average. It could have been ; higher, but somehow, the images of December are starting to look ; too similar, and the similarity knocked a point or two off the ; rating. I gave myself the usual half-point bonus for a coloring ; job that makes more of the fractal than it has in it. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/3 minutes might or might not be rea- ; sonable, depending on the definition of the word 'reason' when ; applied to fractals. But why worry with definitions when the ; completed image may be viewed almost immediately by surfing to ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and enjoying the fractal glories there. ; ; The very unpleasant weather of Sunday continued on Monday here ; at Fractal Central. The fractal cats spent the day ignoring the ; weather and watching for the squirrels that never appeared. My ; day was about average. The next FOTD image will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and be skeptical of skeptics who ; don't believe in fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_The_Half-Shell { ; time=0:03:20.14-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-203.3558256303423/+6.838992380291351/\ 2907653/1/-132/8.6468522646904189e-007 params=-2.475/-1.05/-0.275/-5.5/0/0/0/0 logmap=315 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000C0pD0kF0`H0`F0WK0RM0PN0HP0HR02T00T00Y00`\ 00f00i04k07m0Cn0Hr0Mq0Rq0Vp0Pp0Kp4Hp7CpC7pF4pK0pK0\ pL0pM0pM0oL0oM0oI0oK7nHCoDIpANq6Vr2`q0fr0mq0rt0ys0\ wr0zp0zn0zm0zi2zh6zf9zdCz`Dz_KzYKzWPzTRzRTzPYzNWzP\ `vR_pR`mTbgVbbVb_WbVYdPYdM_dH_bDYbCW`CV`CT_CRYAPYA\ NWAMVAKVAFYDAbH6fK0kN0iP0iN0_N4`N6RN7RNAMNCINTKNHA\ N`GFM2NiR9P0Ns_9Tv0pm0Nb0fz0zz2fz4zz7xz9zzCzzDizHz\ zIzzDiv9fp4dk0`f0_`0WW0VR0YW0_`0`f0dk0fp0gt0dz__vY\ VrYRnWMkWHfVDbV9_T4WT0RR0NR0KP0HP0KR0NR0RT0TT2WV6_\ V9`VCdWFgWHkYKmYNp_Rt_Tv_4Rp00z00z00z00z20m70gC0bH\ 0YM0VR0PW0K`0Ff0Ck07p02v00nkzidzd_z`VzWPzTIzNDxK9t\ F4pC0mF0MI00M70ND6RKATRFWYKYdNbR`gFpm4zk7ziAziDzgF\ zgIzfMzdNzdRzbVzbWz`_z`bz_dzYgzYkzWmzWpzVtzVvzRrzP\ pzNnzMmzKkzHizFgzDfzCdzAbzC`zF_zIYzMWzPVzTTzWRz_Rz\ bRzfRziRzmRzpRztTzxWzx_zxbzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxf\ zxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfzxfz } 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
