It's an appropriate ; name. After all, are not all fractals flights of fancy? ; ; But we have seen many such squashed-pancake images over the ; history of the FOTD, making it difficult to rate today's image ; higher than a 6. ; ; Perhaps the main feature of the image is its celestial blue ; colors. The colors might be celestial, but fractals need more ; than just fancy colors to gain a superior rating. ; ; The parent fractal came about when I iterated the formula ; Z^(1.57)+C at a level 0.57 units up the logarithmic ladder, ; while applying no function. This parent reminds me of a sopping ; wet dish cloth slung over the edge of a shelf, but it has a ; curious something just off to the west of its main bay, with a ; trail of debris leading to this odd thing. Today's image is ; located where the debris joins the oddity. ; ; The calculation time of 4-2/3 minutes is barely within reason, ; so waste no time in setting up the included parameter file and ; running it. The image may also be seen on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Due to the odd hour of my posting, give Paul a chance to run the ; parameter file and post the finished image there. ; ; Saturday began sunny but unusually chilly here at Fractal ; Central. Dark clouds moved in during the afternoon, with several ; light showers passing over. The high temperature of 57F 14C was ; most un-springlike. The fractal cats ignored the weather, and ; spent the afternoon chasing each other up and down the hallway. ; ; In my section, things were rather busy, and will probably remain ; so for several weeks. The next FOTD will appear in around 12 ; hours. Until then, take care, and move forward. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Flight_of_Fancy { ; time=0:04:40.14-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=-1.114717333522346/-0.1301401672941029/\ 3.823849e+009/1/-90/0 params=1.57/0/0.57/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=0008rX8rX7o_7ma6kd6if6gi5ek5cn5ap4_s4Yu4WwC\ _vJcvQgvXjvcnujruqvuxyuvwrtuorslqqioofmmdkkajiZhgW\ feTdcQcaOfeNhiMjmLlpLhmRdkX`haXfgTclParM_wNXrNUnNR\ jNOfOLbOJZOGUODQPAMP7IP4EP2AS6FVAJYDN`HRcLVfO_iScl\ WgoZkrbotespctlbtiate`ub_uZZuWYvSXvPWvLVwIWwEVzBWz\ 7Rz4OxCPnJOeQNXYMNdLEkL5lO6mR6nU6oX7p_7rb7td8ug8vj\ 8wm9xp9ys9zu9zwJzzSdiaZejTasX`n__ibZeeY`iYXlXSoWOr\ VJuVFrUHpUJnULlUNjTPhTRfTTdTUbSW`SYZS_XSaVRcTReRRg\ PRhROgSLgTJgVGgWDgXBgVEcTG`SIYQKVPNSNQPMTMKWJJZGHX\ IFUJDRLBOM9L07I05F03D05G06J07LP9OOARNBTNDWMEZLF`KH\ cJIfIJhINbTQXcTRnWLxZLkaL_dLOgLCiL0cK1YJ2SI3NI3HH4\ BG56G5IiFKdGL`GMXGNSHPOHQKHRFISBIT7IR6MP6QN5TM5XK5\ _I4cH4gF3jD3nC3qE4rF5rH7rI8sK9sLAsMCtODtPEuRFuSHuU\ IvVJvWKvTHrRFoPDkNBhL9dJ7aH5YF3VD1SH5PL8MPBKTEHWHE\ _KCcN9gQ6jT4dX4__4Vc4Qf4Li4Gm4Bp46s4DqBJpHQoNWnTal\ Zhkdnjjtipmdlf_i_Vf8sY8sY } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
