I have no idea what happened to a potential period-4 ; pimple. ; ; Anyway, today's image has little to recommend it. Due to the ; threat of lightning, I kept the computers unplugged most of the ; afternoon, which left little time for a proper fractal search. ; ; The only thing today's image has going for it is its striped ; appearance, which was created by rendering the scene with the ; outside set to 'tdis'. But even the stripes are so finely ; divided that they lose most of their effect. As a result, I ; gave the image no rating. ; ; The name "According to Hoyle" simply came to mind as I studied ; the image. (Perhaps a psych could do a fair analysis of me from ; the names I give the FOTD images.) ; ; The final bad news is the calculation time, which is a dragging ; 25 minutes. Run the parameter file if you wish, but I recommend ; visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image is or soon will be posted for instant access. ; ; Tuesday here at Fractal Central started sunny and very warm. ; But a series of brisk thunder-showers moved in around 3pm and ; continued until dark. The temperature reached a high of 93F 34C ; just after noon, but by 6pm was down to a very comfortable 75F ; 24C. The fractal cats rejoiced. ; ; And if the next FOTD, which will be posted in 24 hours, is ; better than today's, I will rejoice also. Until the rejoicing ; starts, take care, and as the wise shepherd says, when you see a ; storm coming, get the flock out of there. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= According_to_Hoyle { ; time=0:25:16.83-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.6839673892413574/+0.164658493324798/\ 184137.8/1/-102.5/0 params=1.25/0/0.2/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000n4Pp2Nq1Mo3Ln5Lm7Ll9KkBKjDKiFKhHJgJJfLJe\ NJcOIbQIaSI`UIMMRHJOCGL7DI9DJBDJDDJEDJGDJIDKJDKLDK\ NDKP9HOBJODKNFMNGNMIPMKQLMSLNTLPVKRWKTYJUZJW`IYaI_\ cHWfI`dIdcJhaJm`KqZKuYKyXMuYNrYOoYPlYQiYSeYTbYU_YV\ XYWUYC8pXRYqiGpiFpiFpiEoiEoiEoiDniDniDniCniCmiCmiB\ miBliBliAliAkiAki9ki9ki9ihEggIfgMdfQbfUaeZ_ebYdfXd\ jVcnRfvUcrX`oZYlaWhcTefQbiNZkLWnITpFPsCMw9KuAJtBJs\ CJrDJqEJpFJnGJmHJlIJkIIjJIiKIgLIfMIeNIdOIcPIbQIaQI\ _VIYZIXbIW`KW_MWYOVXPVWRVUTUTUURWUQYTPZTN`TMbUNcTM\ cTLcTKcSJcSJcSIcSHcRGcRFcRFcREcQDcQCcQCcQBcPAcP9cP\ 8cP8cO7cO6cO5cO5cQ4cR4c_5hg6mo6rn9qnBpnDonFnmHmmKm\ mMlmOklQjlSilUhlXhkZgk`fkbekddpmekfdf_daTcYNcTGbO9\ bK3bL4`M4_N4ZN5XO5WP5VQ5UQ6SR6RS6QT6PT7NU7MV7LW7KW\ 8IX8HY8GN2HT5GY8FbBEhEDmHCrKByF3wMBvSIuYPtcXsicroj\ quqnlXpd4kcDgbLcaTZ`aV_iP`sRZqTXoUVmWTkXRjZPh_NfaL\ dbJbdIaeG_gEYhCWjAUk8Tm6R } 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|
