But the image was ; ready on time, and has lost none of its luster in the 12 or so ; hours that have passed since it was originally scheduled to ; appear. ; ; To avoid distracting the reader's attention from the attractive- ; ness of today's fractal, which rates a 9, there will be no arm- ; chair philosophy to dilute this discussion. The philosophy will ; return shortly however, so feel no disappointment, as no sacred ; cows, especially science and religion, will go untouched. ; ; I named today's image "Minibrot In Sight". This is certainly a ; fact with most FOTD images, and need hardly be stated. The ; rating of a 9 is my own opinion, due mostly to the colors, which ; add an unusual amount of life to the scene. ; ; The parent fractal was created by subtracting Z^(1.01) from Z^2. ; For some strange reason this mixture creates a Mandeloid that ; closely resembles the one created by the formula Z^(2.01)+C, in ; which the main spike has split into two infinitely divided main ; spikettes, each spike with a large minibrot of its own. Today's ; parent fractal has a fragmentary third minibrot between the two ; well separated main ones, and today's image is located in a ; valley of this minibrot fragment. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes fails to bring totally ; instant gratification. For gratification that is more instant ; go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image will soon be posted. But.....due to the unusual ; time of this posting, it might be a little while before Paul ; gets the image up on the web site. (Hmmmm, is postponed instant ; gratification really instant?) ; ; Light rain fell on Saturday here at Fractal Central; Sunday was ; merely cloudy, but with more rain forecast. Both days brought ; chilly temperatures around 61F 16C. The fractal cats were them- ; selves during this time. The next FOTD, the one for May 13, ; will appear in 34 hours or so. Until then, take care, and how ; do we know the real truth, when it keeps changing? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Minibrot_In_Sight { ; time=0:04:31.66-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-1.001490826049229/+0.0015796701297154/\ 5.024341e+010/1/-175/0 params=1/2/-1/1.01/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=0 logmap=449 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000BARCETDFVEFXFE_GBbHAeI9hL8kO7lRAkUCjXFi_\ IhbLgeNfhQekTdnWcqYbt`awc`ye`xfbwgcvhdvheuiftjhski\ skjrlkqmlpnnpnooopnpqmqrmqsnqnnpiopdoo_ooVmnSmnPmm\ MmmJmlHmkEmjBmi8nh5og3pfBqgJrgRshYtheuimvitqhpmgmh\ gidff_fbWe_SeXZdSedOlcKscGzcCzgazkzwlxulvrmtpmrnmp\ knninlfojdohbof_pdYpbVq`TqZRqYOheM_mKSuJUkJWbIXUIZ\ KH`BHa2I_AJZIJYPKWXLVdLUkKShKReJPbJO_IMXILUIKRHIOH\ HLGFIGEFGDCFHEKKFPOHURIZUJcYLh`MmcNrgPvjQzmRzqTztU\ zwVztUzqTzoTzlSziSzgRzdRzaQy_QuYOqWNmUMiSLeQKaOJYM\ IULGQJFMHEIFDEDCABB69A38949B4AD4BF5BH5CJ5DL6EN6EP6\ FR7GT7HV7HX8IZ8J`8JbFPaMV`S``Zf_dl_krZqxZdqbSjfGrz\ HrzIrzKmzMmqNdrPcsRbsSatU`uV_vXZvZYw_Zxa_yb`y_awXb\ vUctRdsOeqLfpIgnFhmCik9jj6ki5lh5mh5oh5qg5tg5wg5zg5\ zf5zfmzfmzemzemzemzemzgmzimzjzzlzzSzzQzzOzzMzzKzzJ\ zzHzzGzzFzzDzzCzzBzzQzzdzzaRzZOzWLzTIzQFzNCzK9zH7z\ EDzMIzTOz`TzgYzn`zKbzL_zP } 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
