My excuse -- too much work rush to finish ; the FOTD on time. ; ; Mandelbrot midgets are instantly recognizable. Julia midgets ; are more varied, but are almost as easily recognized. But what ; of the midgets in the other four planes of the Julibrot? Do ; they have certain characteristics that can instantly be ; recognized? ; ; Well, all the odd midgets resemble Julia midgets to some degree, ; but I can recognize certain Oblate features. Today's image, ; which lies in the Julibrot part of the second valley beyond ; Scepter Valley, is an Oblate figure, which explains the name ; "Oblate Figure". ; ; I rated the image at a 5. I have probably posted similar images ; in years past. ; ; The calculation time of 10 minutes is deceiving. About 90 ; percent of the total time is spent calculating the single center ; line, which lies along the real Z axis, and is actually the tiny ; space between the two branches of the valley. ; ; But why worry with slow center lines? Go to the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; and see the totally finished image there. ; ; A warm muggy day here at Fractal Central on Monday turned quite ; pleasant when a mild thunder-shower arrived in the afternoon, ; dropping the temperature from 86F 30C to 64F 18C. The fractal ; cats enjoyed the refreshing change. ; ; My day turned more pleasant in the evening when the work was ; finished. It's too bad the hurried fractal left much to be ; desired. The next fractal, however good or bad, will be posted ; in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be at peace. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Oblate_Figure { ; time=0:10:33.29-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=Oblate passes=1 center-mag=+0.00449922\ 471287127/+0/113.4132/1.3729 params=-1.39404628522\ /0/-1.39404628522/0 float=y maxiter=350000 inside=0 outside=tdis logmap=17 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000JikImlHqlGnkGkjGhiFehFbgF_fFXfEUeERdEOcD\ LbDIaDF`DD`EC_FC_FB_GB_GAZHAZH9ZI9ZI8YJ8YK7YK7YL6X\ L6XM5XM5XN4WN4WO3WO3WP4VQ5VR6VS6UT7UU8UV8TW9TXATXA\ SYBSZCS_CR`DRaERbEQcFQdGQ`9AdGQjMflKemIdoGcpEbqCas\ A`t8_u6Zw4Yx2Xy0Wx6axCfwHkwNpwSutVqrYnp_jnbglddjg`\ giYelUcnRaqO_sKYvHWxEXxGYxHYxJZxK_xM_xN`xPaxQaxSbx\ TcxVcxWdxYexZex`fxagxcgxdhxfixgixhgviftidricpianj`\ ljZjjYhjWgjVekTckSakQ_kPYlNWlMUlKSlJRlWVUTXRQ_NObK\ LeGJhDGk9Dn2Em6ElAEkEFjIFiMFhQFgUGfYGeaGdeGciHbmHa\ qH`uH_xJ0tI3qI5oI7mI9jIBhIDfIFcHHaHJ_HLXHNVHQTHSQH\ UOGWMGYJG_HGaFGcCGeAGg8MV9Gi6Bz4Ax39w39u38t38r37q3\ 6p36n35m35k34j33i33g32f32d31c31b36eBBgJFiQKkYRrgOm\ dLibId_F`YCWV5PUASTEUTIWTNYTR_TVaT_cTceTggTehSdhRc\ iQaiP`jO_jNYkMXkLWlKUlJTlISmHQmGPnFOnEMoDLoCKpBIpA\ Hq9Gq8Fq7Gp9GoBGnDHmFHlHHkJIkLIjNIiPIhRJgTJfVJeXKe\ ZKd`KcbLbdLafL`hL`iKej000 } frm:Oblate {; Jim Muth real(z),imag(c) z=real(pixel)+p1, c=flip(imag(pixel))+p2: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
