It has been ; totally evaporated by the extreme escape radius built into the ; formula. With the 'inside' set to the standard numb, the parent ; fractal is nothing more than a blank black screen. ; ; But salvation is at hand, for the active inside fills can often ; return life to dead images such as the parent of today's scene. ; In today's case, the 'bof60' fill works quite well. ; ; I'm not sure that what results from all this trickery is really ; a fractal, though it most certainly is a picture. And the ; picture is more interesting than might be expected from a bland ; all-inside image. ; ; There is a main bay at the bottom, with an imaginary shore line ; strung with buds. Scattered fields of debris fill the imaginary ; 'outside' areas, while a most interesting object lies on the ; left side of the frame. This 'object' is better seen than des- ; cribed. In fact, it is nearly impossible to describe it. ; ; I named the image "Pseudo-Fractal" since I'm not sure that it is ; really a true fractal. I rated it at a 6.5 to reward myself 1/2 ; point for my semi-skilled coloring. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/3 minutes is not as short as I would ; have preferred, but I think the image is worth it. At any rate, ; the finished image is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; A pleasantly warm day prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Sunday. The warm sun and temperature of 88F 31C were ideal for ; outdoor activities of all kinds. The fractal cats limited them- ; selves to indoor activities however. ; ; My day was pleasant also, and F.L.'s new oriental lamp actually ; looks kind of comforting glowing a soft amber on the living room ; table. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if a thing isn't real, what is it? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Pseudo-Fractal { ; time=0:03:20.18-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot passes=1 center-mag=+1.032172008373736/+0.0316130942554965/\ 2352.071/1/95/0 params=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/-99/100 float=y maxiter=750 inside=bof60 periodicity=10 colors=000zzUuxUowUkuUesUcpUamU_jUYhUWfUUdUSbUQ`WO\ ZYMX_NUaOScQQfROhSMjTKlUInVGp_HndHmhHkmHjqHhvHgzHf\ vGdrGcnFbkFagF`cE__EZXDXTDWPDVLCUICTEBSABR7BQ7ET7G\ W7IY7K`7Mc7Pe7Rh7Tk7Vn7Xq7ZtJgwpzzhwzZtzRowQltPirO\ fpOdnNbnM_lLXiLUfKSdJPbJMaIJ_HEZHCXNBU000_gcagabg_\ dgZegXggWhgUigTheSgdSgcSfbSeaSe_SdZScYRcXRbWRaURaT\ R`SR_RR_QRZTPYWNYYLX`JWbHWeFVgEVjCUlATo8Tq6St4Sv3T\ s6Uq8VoAWlDWjFXhHYeKZcMZaORXZZJOe6Di7Hl8Kp9OsARwBV\ zCYxAav8dt6hr4kp2oo0rg9i_I`SQSKZJCfAAbB9_B7XB6UB5R\ BXSUxSksQjoPjkOjgNjcMjAnP8tM7yK8uN9rQAoTBlWCiZDfaE\ cdF`gE_PD_7NTHXMQfG_p9hz3qq8shCt`Gug2Nf7MfBLeFKeKJ\ dOIdSHdWGWRPNMYYUVhaSshQE6PK9NPBMUDKZFJcHHhJGmLFgH\ KbDPY9UT5ZO2bK7YHBTDFOAKJ6OE3S90W5P`YRYaTVeVTiXQmY\ OqPPeGQU8RJ9NI9JH9GH9CG98F95FGFCMOASY8Yf6co4dj5ee5\ f`5gW5hR5iM5jH5kD5UHIDLUBF_AAe95kFBbKGUQLMVQD_V5`U\ E`UM`UV`Ub`UjWYcS`YOcSKfM } 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)+0.00000000000000000000001), 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
