The DivideJulibrot formula included in ; today's parameter file is a new version that has been slightly ; changed from the earlier version. The earlier version will ; still work, but the version in today's parameter file is some- ; what faster. ; ; As for today's image, take it or leave it. For some reason I ; dislike perfection, probably because it leaves no room for ; improvement. And this afternoon when I took another look at ; yesterday's image, it struck me as being just a bit too perfect. ; A tiny rotation took care of the perfection however. ; ; A rotation of a mere 0.0005 degree from the Julia orientation ; wreaked total havoc on yesterday's image. (A slightly larger ; rotation makes the rectangle go away completely.) But the ; wreckage struck me as being good enough to serve as FOTD for ; August 11, especially since I had little time for a further ; fractal search. ; ; The color palette is the same as yesterday's, with only a slight ; change. Since yesterday's image was the real thing, I gave no ; rating to today's image, which is a parody of yesterday's. The ; name "No More Perfection" explains itself. The parameter file ; runs in 1-1/4 minutes, about the same time it takes to view the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Monday here at Fractal Central was actually a bit too chilly for ; perfection, and the heavy thunder-shower in mid-afternoon made ; it even cooler. An afternoon temperature of 63F 17C is hardly ; ideal for mid-August in the northern hemisphere, but the day ; was salvaged in the evening by a lovely double rainbow spanning ; the eastern sky. ; ; The fractal cats enjoyed the few intervals with brilliant sun, ; and endured the periods of rain. ; ; My day was rather busy, yet pleasant enough. I expect a repeat ; tomorrow. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and the farmers must be praying for rain. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= No_More_Perfection { ; time=0:01:14.44-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot passes=1 center-mag=-0.0000104151/+0.002511651686/798281.4 params=89.9995/0/89.9999/0/-1.7435/0/0.00019/0.073\ 88/2.003/0.0003385 float=y maxiter=3500 inside=255 logmap=136 periodicity=10 colors=000EJMILNNNOSQQXTUaWYmdftiongjj`cdUW_NOUHGE\ 2DJ7BOBATG9hF6mK9mPBmUDmZFmcHmkImhJmfKmdLmbMmcNmhO\ mcPcVQcTRcRScPTcNUcLVcJWcIacHXcHScHOmHJgHEsG5mHAgI\ FaJKWKPQLUONTKMYHMbEMgBMl6Ds7Ir8Mq9Qp9UoAZnBbmCflC\ jlzauzcpzelzghziczk_zmWzoUzqSzsRzuPzwOzxNzyLzzKzzI\ zzHzzGzzLzzPzzUzzYzzbzzfzzkzzozznzznzzmzzmzzlzzlzz\ kzzkzzjzzjzzizzizzhzzhzzgzzgzzfzzfzzYzzezzezzdzzdz\ zczzczzbzzbzzazzazz`zz`zz_zz_zzZzzZzzYzzYdzXezX9zz\ BzzCzzDzzEzzFzzGzzHzzIzzJzzKzzLzzMzzNzzOzNPzNQzORz\ PSzPTzQUzQVzRWzSXzSYzTZzT_zU`zVazVbzWzzWzzzzzFzzzz\ zGzzzzzHzzzzzHzzzzzIzzzzzIzzzzzJzzzzzJzzzzzKzzzzzL\ zzzzzLzzzzzMzzzzzMzzzzzNzzzzzNzzzgzOgzzfzPfzzfzPfz\ zfzQfzzfzQfzzfzRfzzfzRfzzfzSfzzzzTzzzzzTzzzzzUzzzz\ zUzzzzzVzzzzzVzzzzzWzzzzzXzzzezXTzzUzXUzzUzXUzzVzX\ VzzVzXVzzWzXWzzWzXWzzWzXXzzXzXXzzXzXYzzYzXYzzYzXYz\ zZzXZzzZzXZzz_zX_zz_zX_zz } frm:DivideJulibrot {; draws 4-D slices of DivideBrot Julibrots pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), aa=-(real(p5)-2), bb=imag(p5+0.00000000000000000001), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)/(z^(aa)+bb)+c |z|< 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
