Once again this parent is an oversized monstrosity ; closely resembling a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, but ; with no main spike and a spiral-filled East Valley that lies on ; the west side and is beginning to be swallowed up. Today's ; scene is located in a spiral in the East Valley area of its ; parent. ; ; I named the image "Even More Spirals" in recognition of the ; abundance of spirals favored by fractal artists. Actually, ; there's nothing wrong with spirals, just like there's nothing ; wrong with the crew of the star-ship Enterprise being possessed ; by alien spirits from space. ; ; After giving the image its name, I rated it at a 7, which is ; good enough, though far from outstanding. If I had put a bit ; more effort into the coloring, I might have raised the rating to ; a 7-1/2, but I decided to browse through some old Scientific ; American magazines from 1963 instead. (I find the 45-year-old ; issues more interesting than the current over-designed and some- ; what pretentious ones.) ; ; The included parameter file runs on my 2000mhz fireball in 1-1/4 ; minutes -- not too bad for an image that rates a 7. And for ; those who cannot, or prefer not, to run parameter files, the ; completed image is posted to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Morning sun on Thursday gave way to afternoon clouds and evening ; sprinkles here at Fractal Central, while the temperature reached ; 59F 15C and the fractal cats argued over their catnip rat. ; ; My day was slow enough. Tomorrow is likely to be the same. The ; next fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and what ever happened to all those wonderful hi-tech products, ; which the promoters told us that the space shuttle program and ; space station were going to make possible? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Even_More_Spirals { ; time=0:01:17.76-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-2.352816253126894/-0.5553738233918362/\ 2.85e+008/1/87.5/0 params=0.75/1.4/-0.75/1.6/0/525\ /0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=134 periodicity=10 colors=000bMKaLK`KKZJKXIKVHKTGKRFKPEKNDKMCKLBKKAKJ\ 9KI8KQ8MWHOUKPUNRUOTUOUUQWUSXZWV`YTc_SiaQmbOm_NmZL\ nXKo_NobQodUogZojcpnhsqmvurzzvzzzzzznrzlmyjgxhbwdd\ v`fvXhvTjvPlvLmvHovDqv9sv5uv2vv4su5pu7nu8ktAhtBftD\ ctE`uGZvHWwJTxKRyMOzNMzUMz`MzgMznMztMzpOzmQzjSzfUz\ cWz`YzX_zUazRczNezKgzHizEjzDhzDfzCezCczBbzB`zAZzAY\ z9Wz9Vz8Tz8SzENzJIzPEzU9z_4zd0zb4za7z`AzZEzYHzXKzW\ OzURzTUzSYzR`zPczOgzNjzMmzSkzYizcgziezoczuazz_zxYz\ wXzvWzuVztTzsSzrRzqQzpPzoNznMzmLzlKzkJzlKzlLzlMzmN\ zmOzmPzmPznQznRznSzoTzoUzoVzoVzrFzmHzhJzcLzZNzUPzP\ RzKTzFVzAXz6Zz8YzAYzBXzDXzFWzGWzIVzJVzMSzPPzRMzUJz\ XGzZDzaAzd7zf5zg8zhBziDziGzjIzkLzlNzlQzmSznVzoXzo_\ zpazqdzqfzqczq`zqZzqWzqUzqRzqOzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhzz1zz6zzBzzGzzLzzQzz\ Vzz_zzdzzzzzwzzXzzWzzVzzb } 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
