The rating ; of a 7.5 includes 1/2 point for my semi-skilled coloring, which ; is responsible for the rather moody silvery-blue palette. ; ; The parent fractal is the result of combining various negative ; portions of Z^(-1.15) and Z^(-7.5), then adding (1/C). This ; parent consists of a north-south string of large bays, with the ; southernmost bay being the most mandel-like. The filaments ; extending from the buds along this bay terminate in rings, ; shaped more like lima beans than circles. Today's image is ; located in the inside of one of these lima-bean rings. ; ; The calculation time of 31-1/2 seconds is surprisingly short for ; such a pleasing fractal. No one with a computer that can still ; handle DOS has a reason not to run the included parameter file. ; And those with machines unskilled in DOS may see the image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A pleasant day prevailed at Fractal Central on Tuesday, with ; partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 46F 8C. The fractal ; cats spent the afternoon enjoying the periods of sun and being ; sulky when the clouds blocked the sun. ; ; My day was eminently average, which, after the recent hectic ; activity, was all that could be hoped for. The next FOTD will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and who first ; wrote 'It was a dark and stormy night.'? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Testing_Testing { ; time=0:00:31.57-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=-2.946876788769/-4.19126281472/11868.3/\ 1/-167.5/0 params=-5/-1.15/-0.75/-7.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=280 inside=0 logmap=29 colors=0008HOCLSGPWKT_OXcSYgTcjQclUhoUjqbmscpvkrxm\ tzzzzzzzvvvmmmcccUUUKMCFOFFRKGTPHWUIYZJ`cKbhLemMgr\ NjvOlzPozQqzRszQrzPrzPrzOrvOrrNrmNrhMrfLrcLraKr_Kr\ YJrWJrUIrSIrQ7dSD`UJXWOTXUPZ_L_dHajDbp9du5ez1gz0hz\ 0_z0Rz0Iz0Az0Fz0Kz0Pz0Tz0Yz0bz0gz0kz0pz0uz0yz3sz6n\ zAhzDczGZzpSzkZzfezalz_mzYnzXozVpzUqzSrzQszPtzNuzM\ vzKwzJxzIszHnzGjzGezF`zEXzDSzDOzFSzGWzHZzIbzJfzKiz\ LmzOqzRtzUqzXoz_mzbjzehzhfzkcznazq_ztazwbFzcHzeKzf\ MzgPziRzjUzkWzlXzmXzmXzmXznYznYznYzoYzoZzoZzpZzpZz\ pWzoTznKzC`zFZzIYzKXzMWzO`zMezLjzJozItzGxzFvzKuzPt\ zUszZqzcpzhozmnzrmzmlzilzekz`kzXjzTjzPOzTQzWRzZSza\ TzdUzgRzdPzaMzZKzXSzU_zRgzPozMwzJzzHqzjkzaezT`zLFz\ gIzZLzQOzH`zMlzRxzVzzczzlzzuzzsyzqwzouzmrzjpzhnzfl\ zdjzblzZmzWnzTpzQqzNrzKtzHuzEvzBxz8yz5zz2zzRzznvzi\ ozehz`azXVzSOzOPzJQzFRzARz6YzEdzLjzTqz_xzgzznaztAz\ zJzvRzrZzogzkozgwzdszeYzN } 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
