Due to its modicum of organization, ; it squeaks by with a rating of 5-1/2, barely worth the honor of ; being declared a FOTD. ; ; At this not-very-lofty log level, the parent fractal resembles ; nothing more than a numeral 8 listing to starboard. Today's ; scene is located on the northern side of the west branch of the ; prominent valley dividing the main bay into the figure 8. ; ; Choosing the square-root of 3 as an exponent was done in jest. ; Significant numbers such as this apparently have no effect on ; the quality of the fractals they create. ; ; The name "Fortune Always Calls" has nothing whatever to do with ; the image, or with anything at all connected with fractals for ; that matter. It's simply a cute phrase, nothing more, nothing ; less. ; ; The calculation time of just over 1 minute is unexpectedly fast. ; But the trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; is equally fast, and going to the web site will avoid the minor ; hassle of copying this FOTD into your Fractint directory (or ; folder) in text format with a .par extension and running it as ; you would any other Fractint parameter file. ; ; A rather muggy day on Tuesday was interrupted by a shower of ; rain (what else?) in the afternoon, which knocked the tempera- ; ture down from 86F 30C to 73F 23C. The fractal cats watched the ; 15-minute shower with disinterest. ; ; My day was busy but under control. Tomorrow, when the next FOTD ; will be posted, should be the same. Until then, take care, and ; isn't the thought of the perfect fractal heavenly. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FortuneAlwaysCalls { ; time=0:01:24.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.199082275456053/+0.1545238480953167/\ 39000/1/-75/0 params=1.732/0/4/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=83 periodicity=10 colors=0009KnBJjCIgDHdFHaGGZHFWJETKEQLDMNCJOBGPBDR\ AAS97T84U81SC3RF5PJ7OM9NQBLTDKXFJ_HHcJGfLFiNDkPCmR\ AoSFmVKkMPhOUeQZbSa_UcXWaVY`T_ZTaYWcXYeV`gUciUfkUi\ mUloUoqVqsXsuZtwauyctxesxhqxjpxlowonwqmwslwrkvrjvr\ ivrhurgurgurftretrdtrcsrcsrbsrarr`rr_rr_rq`nq`jp`f\ p`bo`_o`Wn`Sn`On`Ln`Ln`Km`Jm`Jm`Im`Il_Hl_Hl_Gk_Gk_\ Fk_FjZEjZDjZDiZCgY8iZCiZBhYBhYAhYAgY9gY9gY8zW5yX6y\ X6xX6xX6wX6wX6wX6vX6vX6uX6uX6uX6tX6tX6sX6sX7sX7rX7\ rX7qX7qX7qX7pX7pY7oY7oY7oY7nY7nY7mY7mY7mY8lY8lY8kY\ 8kY8kY8jY8jY8iY8iY8iY8hY8hY8gY8gY8WgRXfPYeOZeN_dL_\ cK`cJabIbaGcaFc`Ed_De_BfZAgY98bb9aaAaaAa`Ba`Ba_Ca_\ CaZDaZDaZEbYEcYFdXFeXGfWGgWHhWHiVIjVIkUJlUJmTKnTKo\ SLpSLqSMrRMsRNtQNuQOvPOwPPxPPyOzzOzzNzzNzzMzzMzzLz\ zLzzLzzKzzKzzJzzJzzIzzIzzIzzHYzHYzGZzGZzF_zFJzmKzh\ MzdNz`OzWQzSRzNSzJUzFVzAWz6Xz2Vz6Uz9SzCRzFPzIOzLMz\ OLzRJzUIzXGz_FzbDzeCzhAzk } 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|
