But in today's parent, a spike is nowhere in ; sight. Instead of a spike, we find a maze of twisting pathways, ; infinitely divided, with countless minibrots scattered about. ; Today's image shows one of these minibrots. ; ; I named the image "Web of Darkness". The unusual amount of ; darkness surrounding the windmill-like spider-web pattern ; inspired the name. The rating of a 9 indicates that I consider ; the image to be much better than the everyday FOTD fare. ; ; The calculation time of a mere minute should leave every ; fractalist iterating with joy. And the finished image is also ; joyously posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The unusually fine spring weather continued here at Fractal ; Central on Saturday. Mostly sunny skies with a temperature of ; 73F 23C can hardly be beat. At nightfall a mild thunder-shower ; moved in, but by that time the day had ended and the rain merely ; watered the flowers. The fractal cats must have agreed, for ; they were on their best behavior all day. ; ; My day was as slow as I had hoped it would be, which is the way ; I like days to be. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and look for the light admidst the gloom. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Web_of_Darkness { ; time=0:01:02.82-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+4.089540127691547/-0.0001022448756743/\ 1.324527e+008/1/90/0 params=0.7/1.414/-0.9/1.732/0\ /0/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 logmap=108 periodicity=10 colors=000GHgFIiFJkEKmELoDMqDNsCOuCPvDOtDMrEKoEIkE\ GgFEcFCZFAUG8QG6MG4IH3JH4JH5JI6JI7JI7KJ8KJ8KJ9KKAK\ KALKBLLCLLCLLDLLDLQENUFOYGPaHQfISjJTnKUrLVvMWsQXqT\ YnWZlZ_ia`gdadgbbjc_mdYpeVsfUvgZuccu_huXmuTmuPmuMm\ tIhtEctBZt7Ut3Ut0OqEImSChe7crBZmEUhHPcKK_OFVRAQUAL\ XAHWALWAOVARVAUUAXUA_TAbTAeSAhSAkRAnR7qR3tTCsUKrVT\ rX`qYiqZqp_ypWwkSugOscLr_HtUEuPBvK8xE5y92z4AjCHVJP\ FQW0XU4YS7YQAZODZMG_KJ_IM`GP`ESaCVaAYb8`b6cc4fc3ic\ 6fZ8cUA`PCZKEWFGTAIR6HP5FM5EK5sYdsXesWfsVhrUirTjrS\ lrRmrQnrQooSnmUnkVniXmfYmd_mb`l`blYclWelUfkShkPikN\ kjLljJnjHojKmhNlfPkeSicUhbXg`Ze_adYdcWfaVi`Tk_SnYQ\ pXPsWNuVMrUOpTPnTQkSSiRTgRUdQWbPX`PYZO_WN`UNaSMcPP\ dNUeLZgJchGhiEmkCrl9vm7zo5zp3zqzznzzkzzizzfzzczzaz\ z`zz`zz_zz_zzZzzZzzYzzYzzKzz7zzTzzOzzKzzGzzBzz7zz3\ zz4zz5zz6zz7zz8zz9zzAzzBzzCzzDzzEzzFzzGzzHzzIzzJzz\ KzzLzzMzzNzzGzzFzzEzzDzzS } 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
