Regardless ; of what this means when applied to a fractal rating, today's ; image is different enough to be well worth a look. ; ; I named the image "Cosmic Un-Conquest" in sympathy with mankind, ; who, because he must carry a clumsy physical body with him ; wherever he goes, will never conquer even the solar system, much ; less the infinite multiverse. A temporary mind of limitless ; fancy trapped in a body of wet kleenex can do little more than ; sit here on earth, look up at the night sky and wish it were ; otherwise. ; ; But such is not the case with fractals, where we can venture ; wherever our computers and fanciful minds can take us. In ; today's case we journey to the land of Z^2/(Z^(-2)+11)+C, which ; at first appears to be a blank screen consisting totally of ; inside stuff. But, as the 'bof61' fill reveals, this inside ; stuff is active. ; ; Today's image is unusual in that it is dependent on both the ; screen resolution and the choice of passes. Whenever one of ; these is changed, a different image will result, since different ; dots will be chosen or passed over. ; ; Perhaps the biggest drawback in the image is its rather slow ; calculation time of 10 minutes. But this drawback may be turned ; into an advantage by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image is posted for effortless viewing. ; ; Fine midsummer weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday, with a cat-pleasing temperature of 82F 28C and sunny ; skies. In my department things went pretty well also. As for ; the next FOTD, it will be posted in 24 hours, perhaps not as ; cosmic as today's but interesting nevertheless. Until then, let ; your mind soar where your body cannot. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Cosmic_Un-Conquest { ; time=0:10:07.25-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot passes=1 float=y center-mag=-1.1400168468679/+1.308367613934373/\ 1.048206e+007 params=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/-2/11 maxiter=1500 inside=bof61 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000Fm4Em4Dn4Cn4Bn4Bo5Ao59p58p57p56q55q54q53\ r52r52r5Mp7eq8do9dnAcmBclCbkDbjEaiFagG`fH`eI_dJ_cK\ ZbLZaMZ`NYZOYYPXXQXWRWVSWUTVTUVRVUQWUPXTOYTNZSM_SL\ `TJ_SK`RL`RMaQNaQObPPbPQbORcOScNTdMUdMUeLVeLWeKXfK\ YfJZgJ_gI`hHahHbhGciGdiFdjFejEfkEgkDhkCilCjlBkmBlm\ AmnAnn9on9oo8poAqpzzzAsqAtqAuqAvrAwrAxsAysAyu3yt3y\ s3yrUUU3yqzpc3yo3yo4yn4ym4ym4ylkhz4yj4yj4yi5yh5yg5\ yg5yz5ye5ye5yd5yczmb6yb6ya6y`6y`6y_6yZzyY7yz7yz7yz\ 7yz7yz7yz7yz7yz8yz8yz8yz8yz8yz8yz8yz8yz00000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 0000000000000000000000000 } 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
