It lies in ; the East Valley area of the (-Z)^(3.5)+C Mandeloid, on the shore ; of a curious tiny sub-bay there. The name "Trey and a Half" ; indicates the exponent of (-Z). ; ; There is not much to be said about the image, except that, in my ; opinion, its elements are unusually well defined, with little of ; the discontinuities that might be expected in a fractal with a ; fractional exponent of Z. I also find the 7 arms radiating from ; the central minibrot rather unusual, divided as they are into 3 ; of one kind and 4 of the other. ; ; Though I put no great effort into the image, I did put enough ; into it to give it a rating of a 7. And the calculation time of ; under 3 minutes should make no one impatient. The completely ; finished image also is already posted or soon will be posted to ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The temperature of 36F 2C and partly cloudy skies here at ; Fractal Central on Saturday were pleasant enough for a late- ; winter day. But occasional heavy squalls of snow spoiled ; things at times. The fractal cats watched the snow for about ; 15 minutes, then slept in the returning sun for an hour. ; ; My day was continued busy, but things are slowly getting back to ; normal. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. With only a minimum ; of luck, it will actually appear. Until next time, take care, ; and seek fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Trey_and_a_Half { ; time=0:02:52.43-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMiN passes=1 center-mag=+0.80259002939302740/+0.003340316561887\ 22/5.550715e+011/1/-15/0 params=3.5/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=6200 inside=0 logmap=391 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000`BT`AWa8_a6ba5e_6iY7lX7pV8sT9wS9zTFsTLlU\ ReUXZVbSVhMYfL`dLcbKf`KiZKFbjA_n5Xr1Vu2Ss3Qq4Oo4Mn\ 5Kl6Ij7Gh7Eg8Ce9Ac98bCC_EGXHKUJORMSOOWLQZIO_GN`FLa\ EKbDIcCHdBFeAEf9Cg8Bh79i68j56k45l33m22n19h4Fb6LX9R\ RBYLDcFGi9Io3Kp9JqFIrLHrQGsWFtaFtfKulPvrUvwZuscuph\ ummujhugcudUuaMuZNuWOtaJsgDrm8rs3hs9ZsEQsJRrQSrWSq\ aTqhUpnUptZemcWggL`lBVp1Pm9QkHQiPQfXQddQbkQfiXigbm\ ehpcntatw_zvavvcsvepvgmuiiukfumcuo`bmeLlj3ko3gn3dm\ 3al3Zk3Vj3Si3Ph3MhOYHJXFEVDAUCCPJDLQFGWGCbI7iJ3oK5\ oL7oM8oMAoNCoODoPFoPHoQIoRKoSMoSNoTPoURoUSoWUmYVl_\ WjaXicYgeZfg_di`ckaamb`ocZqdYseWufVseTreRqePodNndL\ mdKldIjcGicEhcCgcBbfKYhTUkaPmjLorQjaVeLUdLTcL`URhL\ WpB`x2evMUueJtx8ksCcoFWjJNfMFaQ7YTF`NMbIUeD`g8gi3e\ g4de4bc5ab5_`6WdXSgROjKKmEGp8Cs2CoACkICgQCdYC`eCXm\ CUtFMnIFiL7cO0ZS5YVAYYFY`KXcPXfUXiYXkXYlWYnVZoVZpU\ ZrT_sS_tS_lOUeKOZHI_FM_DP } frm:MandelbrotMiN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=(-z)^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
