But today, instead of butter- ; fly-like elements, we have a vague and hard to see spiral that ; exists in the near-chaos that fills the empty circle when the ; 'bof61' inside fill is applied to the emptiness. ; ; I named the image "Hidden Spiral" because, unless the function ; and parameters are set exactly right, the spiral vanishes. The ; calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes means that no great amount of ; time will have been wasted if the image fails to satisfy. ; ; One way of being sure of satisfaction however is to visit the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the finished image, which is posted there. ; ; Ideal spring weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, with full sun and a temperature of 70F 21C. The fractal ; cats passed the day unconcerned with the weather, even growing ; bored with their catnip rats. ; ; My day was average; the next FOTD is due in 24 hours, and for ; all I know, it will probably appear as scheduled. Until then, ; take care, and what is the significance of the number 42? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hidden_Spiral { ; time=0:01:38.98-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=Mystic2 function=tan passes=1 center-mag=-0.183903/0.273552/25.7373 params=4.28/1.3/5.12/-0.2/1.457/6.484 float=y maxiter=160 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z60qG0lP0cZ0Uh0K\ q0Bz06z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z0\ 0z00i06q0Gi0Pm0GmBBhP2pc0zq0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zzAzzKzzUzzZzzezzizzmzzozzqzzs\ zztzzszzqzzozzmzzjzzgzzczzZzzUzzPzz2hzPPzl2zzAzzKz\ zUzzZzzczzhzzmzzmzzmzzhzzczzZzzUzzPzzKz00000000000\ 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000h0\ Kz0hz0qz0vz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zq0xc0sP0jB0c00c00c00f00c0\ 0c00c00c00c00c00c00Z00P00K00B006002002000200600620\ B20B60GB0KB0KG0PK0UK0UP0ZU0UP0ZP0ZP0cP0cP0cP0hK0hK\ 0hK0lK0lP0qP0qP0qP0vP0vP0vK0zG0zB0zB0zB0zB0zB0zB0z\ 60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z60z66z6Gz6Pz6Z\ z6hz6lz6vz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zz6zzKzzUzzc\ zzlzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzqzzczzUlzGcz6Uz0Kz6PzGUzKZzUZzZc\ zhhqllcvlPzqGzv2zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz } frm:Mystic2 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), k=real(p3), f=imag(p3), g=pixel, z=(pixel)^a+(b*(pixel))^c: z=(fn1(z)+(d*(g)))^k+(f*(cos(g))) g=sqr(g), LastSqr <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
