And like those two images, it con- ; sists of an intricate network of filaments. The cubic minibrot ; at the center of today's image is well beyond resolution, though ; the mixture of quadratic and cubic effects surrounding it is ; apparent. ; ; I named the image "Land of Loopiness" because so many of the ; filaments form closed loops. Then I rated it at a 7. The ; calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is brief enough to keep every- ; one happy. And of course, the finished image is or soon will be ; posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Sunday morning, when FL asked if I felt like going to visit a ; new antique emporium that just opened about 75 miles away, I ; reluctantly said yes. This is why the FOTD for September 1 is ; so late. I guess I can't see what is so fascinating with the ; 'junque' other people have the sense to throw away, but it makes ; FL happy if I am there with her, looking bored, so I just can't ; say no to her. Luckily, or unluckily, we found nothing worth ; picking up. ; ; With maximum sunshine, low humidity, and a temperature of 82F ; 28C, Sunday was a near perfect day here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats celebrated the fine weather as well as the apparent ; departure of the manx cat by giving themselves a thorough ; grooming. (And that's no tall tail!) Like some ovens, cats are ; self-cleaning. ; ; My day was fair enough, despite somehow being drawn into the ; antiquing expedition. The next FOTD, with a new theme, will be ; posted within 8 hours. Until then, take care, and the question ; is not, "why is there something instead of nothing", it is "why ; is it impossible for absolutely nothing to exist". ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Land_of_Loopiness { ; time=0:01:22.56-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot passes=1 periodicity=10 center-mag=-3.94470157911456/+0.00001549964882567/\ 8.2e+012/1 params=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/3/3 maxiter=1800 float=y inside=0 logmap=154 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0007VN8WO9XPBYQCZRD`TEaUFbVHcWIdXJeYKfZLg_N\ iaOjbPkcQldRmeTnfUogVqiWrjXskZtl_um`vnawobxpZskWog\ TkcQg_NcWJZRGVNDRJANF5GA6IB7JB7KC8LC8MC9ND9ODAQEBR\ EBSECTFCUFDVGDWGEXGFZHF_HG`IGaIHbIHcJIdJIeJPbMW_Ob\ zR`z_ezWizTzzPzzMzzJzzHzzGzzEzzDzzBzzAzz8zz7zz5XQ4\ VT2TV1SW4SW6SW9SWBSWERWGRWJRWLRXORXQRXTQXVQXYQX_QX\ bQXdPZeQXfRVfRTgSSgTQhTOhUNiVLiVJjWHjXGkXEkYClVDqX\ CnYBl_Bi`AgaAdc9bd8_f8Yg7Vh7Tj6Qk5Om5Ln4Jo4Gq3Er2B\ t29u16v14r57o89lCBiFDeIFbMH_PJXSLUWNQZPNaRKeTHhVDm\ WEkXFjXGiXHhXIgXJfXKeXKdXLcXMbYNaYO`YP_YQZYQYYRXYS\ WYTVYUUYVTZWSZWRZXQZYPZZOZ_NZ`MZaLZT2QYBVaKZeTbxjw\ i`fVRQJDAHH9FK9DO9BR9AU98Y86`84d82g81j83iB4iE6iH7h\ K8hNAhQBhTDgWEgZFgaHgdIfgKfjLfmMfpJfsHfuKgsMhrOiqR\ jpTkoVlnQmeLnYGoPCpHBqGBrGBrGBsGBtGBtGBuGBvGBvGBwG\ BxGBxGByGBzGBzGHxNNvUSt`Yrgbpngojlofqncvn_znXqiShd\ N__JRVEIQAPMEWJHbGLiCOp9S } 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
