In the resulting fractal, the two M-sets are no longer ; partially merged, but are now well separated, connected by only ; a narrow 'inside' N-S band centered symmetrically on the X-axis. ; Today's scene is located very near the point where this band ; intersects the X-axis. ; ; When rendered in the usual manner, the scene is rather dull and ; lifeless. So to add some life I rendered the image with the ; outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod'. The ; proximity factor of 11 was a mistake, but it worked so well that ; I decided to keep it. ; ; When the time came to rate the day's effort, I found enough ; pizazz in the image to rate it at a 7.5, giving myself a ; generous half-point for the coloring. The name "Only a ; Minibrot" refers back to yesterday's image, which held a gaping ; hole and an impressive spiral in addition to the minibrot, while ; today's image has only the minibrot. ; ; With a calculation time of just under 6 minutes, the parameter ; file borders on the slow side, but IMO, the small effort is ; worth it. And for instant gratification, the finished image may ; be accessed on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Near perfect 50F 10C early spring weather continued at Fractal ; Central on Tuesday, and the fractal cats continued to enjoy the ; sun. My day was unusually busy, but never beyond control. The ; next in the near-endless string of FOTD fractal images will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and dwell in peace ; in hyperspace, where I might soon take a tour of a hypersphere. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Only_a_Minibrot { ; time=0:05:54.49-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=mandautocritinz function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.233227944685145/+0.0082092285206308/\ 1.051e+007/1/-148.75/0 params=2/1.25/1/2.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=fmod proximity=11 outside=tdis symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000CszHkzNezT`uZVodPigTdkXZo`TsbPveJziEzr0z\ o4PH00000040CAUPPHdLRsR`zX000qzguzbvzXxzTzzNzzJzzE\ zzAzz4zz0zz0zz0zz6meL`H`P0oN8uLJxLXzJgzHuzHzzCzz8z\ z4zv0zq0zi0zd0zZ0zN0zE2z46z0Az0Cz0Cu0Em0Ee0EZ0GR0G\ J0GC0H40H00H00A602N00b00X20R80LG0GL0AR04Z00d00k00q\ 00v00q40m80iC0eG0`J0XN0TR0PV0JZ0Gb0Cd08e0Ae0Ce0Ee2\ Ge6He8JeALgH6gN0eL0dL6bLC`LJZLPXJXVJbTJiRJqPJvNHzL\ HzJHzHHzGHzGHzLNzRTqXZV`bAid8qe6xg4zi4zk2zm0zo0ze0\ zW0zO0z00u00e00T20GA080200020460AA0EE0JH0PL0TP0ZT0\ dX0g`0md0sx0ke0vP2z86z00z08z0Ez0Lz0Rz0Zz0dz0kz0qz0\ xz0zy0zx0zw0zv0zuAzuJzuRzu_uqfolnihkddibbl`bqZbpZb\ qXbpV`oT`pT`oR`oP`mN_kN_kL_iJ_vNjiJdZHTNGHC82CE8CJ\ CCPGCVLCZPCcTCcZCcbCceCckCcoCcsCcxCczCcz6cq0cd0cR0\ cE0c00c04cm8cmAcmCcmEcmGcmHcmLcmNcmPcmRcmTcmUcmVcm\ Zci`cebcbdc`ebXgZTiTR`czZcvZsqXqkXoeVm`VkVTiPTgJTe\ ERgLPiTNk`LmgJmmHouGqzEsz } 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
