But ; I'll cut today's discussion short and get right to the point, ; hopefully quickly getting caught up once the point is made. ; ; After years of searching for something attractive in the higher ; order Mandeloids, I think I have finally found a way to create ; higher-order attractiveness. ; ; Today's image lies on the main spike of its parent pseudo-Mandel- ; brot set, in the remains of the Scepter Valley of the largest ; minibrot between the main minibrot on the spike and the body of ; the set itself. This minibrot is quite a sight, caught as it is ; in the act of changing from a quadratic minibrot to a minibrot ; of order-7. ; ; Actually the image is quite attractive. The order-7 minibrot at ; the center sparkles with gold trim, and the smaller surrounding ; minibrots are of all shapes and sizes, making each of them inter- ; esting in a different way. ; ; I named the image "Haste Makes Waste" when trying to find an ; excuse for my recent tardiness. I rated it at a 7, which might ; be a bit of an exaggeration. ; ; One thing not exaggerated however is the lightning speed of the ; included parameter file, which with a running time of an incred- ; ible 19-3/4 seconds, is one of the fastest ever. ; ; But we must never forget the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted, making the task of running a ; parameter file totally unnecessary. ; ; Sunday turned out unusually muggy here at Fractal Central, ; though with a temperature of 84F 29C, not unusually warm. The ; mugginess led to a series of torrential showers in the afternoon ; and evening, which squashed any thoughts of outside activity. ; The fractal cats disliked all the water on the other side of ; their window, but soon went back to sleep. My day was quite ; relaxing for a change. Tomorrow, when the next FOTD is due, ; will probably be busier. Until then, take care, and don't ; think about reality too much. You might find that it's not ; there. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Haste_Makes_Waste { ; time=0:00:19.44-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot4 center-mag=-24.47168928461\ /0/157925.5 params=7/15/1500/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=44 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=0000AQ0AS0AU0AW0AY0A_0Ac0Ag0Fk0Ko0Ps0Uw0Zq0\ cm5hi6ed7b`7`X8YS9VOASKBPFCMBCI7LM8TU8a`8im8rr8zz8\ soAzcBzUDoKEfCFZEGRGHNJIJLIGNJCQK8SL5UL4PM4LM4HN4C\ N48O44O40OBBRIMTPWVWfXbpZYeVTVSPLPUMNYNMbNLfOKkPJo\ PImTHkWHiZHhaGfdGdhGbkGanF_qFYtFXwF_sJbpMelQgiTjeX\ mb_o_blZajZ`hY`fY_dXZaXZ_WYYWXWVXUVWRUVPUVNTULTTJT\ TKVQLXOMZLM`JNbGOdEOeCywS40c65_8AW9FSBKPDPLEUHGZDH\ cAGSSGGi8khElbJmXOmRTnLYoFbo9XmASkBNiCHgCzhDzmEzrE\ zvKzZPzXUzVZzTczRhzQmzTkzWjzZiz`kzamzcnzdpzeqz`izW\ azzVzzNzzGzzMzzdzzwzzpzzjzzdzzZzzTzzUzzVzzWzzXzzYz\ zYzzUzzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzpzMgzHYzCPz7MzKJz\ XTzNazDjz3az5Tz6Kz7Cz8BzEBzJBzPBzUAzZAzdAziAznlzJl\ zLlzNlzOlzQlzRezQ_zPUzP8zy7zt7zo6zk6zf6za5zY5zT5zP\ 9zICzCFz6JzJNzWRzhszBjzSbzgdzafzWhzRjzLlzFnzAPzV0z\ o4zq7zsAztEzvHzwKzyNzzQzt } frm:DivideBrot4 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+100: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < d } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
