But there is a ; fractal for today nonetheless, and not a bad one at that. ; ; Today's image takes us back to that most famous of all parent ; fractals, the Mandelbrot set, where we check a scene deep in ; Scepter Valley, which is the valley at -1.25 on the X-axis. ; ; I could not honestly give a rating or a name to the image, which ; I found almost without effort. The slow calculation time of 30 ; minutes can be cut to 18 seconds by rendering the scene with the ; outside set to 'iter' instead of 'tdis'. But doing this misses ; the best part of the image. ; ; An alternative way to save time is to view the calculated image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A partly cloudy, rather pleasant morning here at Fractal ; Central on Sunday gave way to a heavily overcast afternoon, with ; a temperature of 63F 17C and intermittent heavy showers. The ; fractal cats ignored the rain as they took the day off. ; ; With the rain saving me from an afternoon of yard work, my day ; was slow enough. The next FOTD fractal image will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and give yourself at least a ; ghost of a chance. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_For_Apr_21_08 { ; time=0:29:57.34-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.25000687812826500/+0.001998204548718\ 07/2.730733e+010/1/15/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=100000 bailout=9 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000LVpPUqUTrZSsbSsZMqVHoRCmN7kK2jM6fNAcOE`P\ IYQMVSQRTUOUYLVaIWdFUbLTaQS_VRZ_QXdPWiOUnNTsMSxPOV\ SK1VI5XH8_GBaFEdEIfDLhCOkBRmAVp9Yr8`t7cq9aoA`mBZkD\ YiEXgFVeGUcITaJR_KQYMPWNNUOMSPLUOOWNQXMTZLV`KXaJ_c\ IaeIdfHfhGhjFkkEmmDpoCrpCtiAqc9nY7kS6hM5eLDfKKgJRh\ JYhIdiHkjHrjMmgRieVec_`adX_hTYmOWrKUvGSxwUvqTulTtg\ SrbSqYRpTRnOQmJQlEPk9PdGXZNdTUlVXiW_gXbdYeb_h_`kYa\ nVbqTctReqRfoRhmRikRkiRlfRndRobRq`RrZRpYPoYOnYNmYM\ lYKkYJjYIiYHgXFfXEeXDdXCcXAbX9aX8`X7SOJJFVB6fFBhJG\ jNLlQQmUVoY_qadsdit_mjVpaRtTMwKIzBGtGFnKEiODcTCZXA\ T`9Ne8Ii7Cm67q98oB8nD8mF8lI8kK8jM8iO8hR8gT8fV8eX8d\ _8ca8bc8ae8`_BQUEFPH4SVRVhlXdkZak`YkbVkcRkeOjgKjiH\ jkDjlAjhPgdcdbbeabe`be_afZafYafW`gV`gU`gT_hS_hR_hQ\ _hNcgKggIkgFofDsfAwf8zfAuhBpjCllDgnEcpDdqDerCfrCgs\ BhtBitChsDgsEfsEesFdsGcrHbrHarI`rJ_rJZrIYqHXpGWoFV\ oEUnDTmCSmR``LZeGYjBXnGWo } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
