At ; first glance, this valley appears to have no right to hold ; minibrots. But right or wrong, minibrots are there, and today's ; image gives rock-solid proof of their presence. ; ; To give the image its finished appearance, I needed to partially ; evaporate the scene and render it with the inside parts set to ; 'bof61'. Actually, with the logmap set to -1842, any of the ; inside fills would have worked equally as well. They all simply ; add a flat color. ; ; Perhaps with a bit too much enthusiasm I rated the image at a ; 6-1/2. The colors really are not all that great. The name ; "Around the Rim" refers to the brilliant ring surrounding the ; somewhat obscured central minibrot. ; ; The calculation time of 14 minutes is slow for such a moderately ; worthy image. I recommend viewing the image instead on the FOTD ; web site at. I will send the image on ahead to Paul, so it ; should be already posted by the time this FOTD hits the cyber- ; way. The world-famous FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Sleet fell all night Saturday here at Fractal Central. At ; daybreak Sunday it changed to a cold rain, which made a really ; sloppy mess of things. Then at noon on Sunday the rain changed ; to snow. When the snow ended at 5pm a high wind arose, with ; gusts to 50mph 80kph, making the day near a total loss. The ; fractal cats had no sympathy. They demanded extra treats of ; chunk tuna and sharp cheddar cheese. ; ; My day was kept busy by the task of clearing the heavy slop from ; the walk ways. The task was finished however in time for the ; fractal. The next fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; that glorious moment arrives, take care, and when reason proves ; to be the answer, question the question. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Around_the_Rim { ; time=0:14:02.17-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+3.526047700159351/-4.440263736170335/\ 2.066656e+010/1/112.5/0.000131874278297368364 params=-2.475/-1.05/-0.275/-5.5/0/17000000.0/0/0 float=y maxiter=8000 inside=bof61 logmap=-1842 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000UczcFvjDwqAyrc0iMqteLIm_vfRMrJthBtd4mb7f\ aA``DU_GNZJHYLGKEEQBDW8B`5Af29k05n71qE0eF0VF0NG08G\ 7KEEWCLhASs9NvKJyVEzemzpzznzyvzukmsiLqhPgdS``LLX8E\ LDHIDACMHLHEPDLW9TW5VW4dV3`V8aXQKQRJRSHRTGSUETVDUW\ BVWAVYBWZCW`DXaEXcFXdGYfHYgIY_RSSZMKfGCnBHmHMmMRmR\ WmW`m`elfjlkolptluylzxguxbqxYmxUiwPdwK`wFXwBTuDStF\ SsHRrJRpLQoNQ5FP4S_3dj8fcCgYGiSLjMPlGTmASoDSpGSrJR\ sLRuORvRRwTStSSqSSnSSlSTiSTfSTcSTaSYXUaSWeOYiJZmF`\ qAbu6coFXiORcXKYdEWfDUhDTjDRlDPnDOpDMrDLsDZdHlRKyD\ NzEMzFMzGLzHLzIKzJKzKJzLJzMVWTI1Z6BaLLd_VfnWbgWZ`W\ VUWSOVPMUMLTJKSGJSDILOSFZ`9hiGejNbkU`l`YlgWmnTntRn\ pWhm_bjdXfhScmM`qGYuB`M`USdNXgGbk9gnOWhbKcp8Zr5Zn4\ `j4bg4cc4e`4fX4hU4iQ3kM3mJ3nF3pC3q83s53t8VUAv39t29\ s28r28q28p27n17m16l16k16j1Eg8LeFSbM_`TfY_mWftUmiM_\ ZFNP8AR79T79V78X78Z77`77b77d76f76h75j75l74n74o74lB\ 6jE7hH9fKAdNCbRD`UFKNqRLs } 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
