To begin, the exponent of Z in today's ; formula is 1.067, certainly on the low side, and hardly an ; exponent expected to produce an interesting fractal. And the ; torpedo-shaped minibrot in today's image certainly has every ; reason to be dancing in triumph. ; ; The parent fractal is shaped somewhat like a letter 'A' lying on ; its right side, with today's tiny minibrot located near the egde ; of a debris field, some distance southwest of the main open area. ; ; The rating of a 7 indicates a typical FOTD of average quality. ; Due to the very large maxiter of 150,000, the calculation time ; is a rather slow 16 minutes, leaving it to the individual ; fractalist to decide whether to run the included parameter file ; or go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and see the completed image there. ; ; Typical late-summer weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; on Thursday. The thin clouds and temperature of 72F 22C were ; typical of this time of year. The fractal cats were more ; concerned with squirrels gathering nuts in the yard than the ; central Pennsylvania weather. ; ; In my department things progressed smoothly. FL's flowers have ; pretty much recovered from the beating they took in the storm on ; Tuesday morning. If all goes well, and I see no reason why it ; should not, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, give or ; take a few. Until that enlightening moment arrives, take care, ; and the answers to all questions are written in the fractals. ; All we need is someone to decipher the fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Low_One_Dances { ; time=0:16:34.92-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=t center-mag=-7.525986636550791/-3.471416076886081/\ 4.64746e+010/1/52.5/0 params=1.067/0/0/1500 float=y maxiter=150000 inside=255 logmap=424 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000PPEQQFSRFTRGVSGWSHYTHZUI`UIaVJcVJdWKeXKf\ XLgYLhZLiYNjXPkWRlWSmVUnUWnUXoTZpS`qRbrRcsQetPgtPh\ rLlqHopDroAujBmeBf`B_WBTRBMMBFIB8ME9QHAUKBYNCaQDeT\ EiWFmZGqaHudIxgJteIpcIlaIi`IeZIaXHYWHVUHRSHNRHJPGG\ NGCMG9ZH8KG4IGtIBhHCYHDNHECHFGRzFQyFQwFQvEQuEPtEPs\ DPrDPqDPpCOoCOnCOmBOlBNkBNjANiANhANg9Nf9Oe9Pd8Qc8R\ b8Qa7Q`7Q_7QZ6PY6OX6OW5NV5NU5MT4LS4LR4LQ3KP3JO3JN2\ JM2JL2HK1HJ1HI1HHnvrgpmakhWfcQaZJWUDRP7MKBB8AC9AC9\ AChUC99Ch9DhUDAUDh8DhUDhUDBUEB7EB7EZ6EZ6EZ6EZUFD5F\ Z5FZUFD4FE4FZ4GE3GZUGE3GZ3GF2GZ2HF2HG1HG1HH1HHmmJm\ nKmoKmpKmqKmrKmsPmtUmuZmvcmwhmxmmymmzmmzmczmUzmUzm\ czmczmczmczmczmczmhzmmzmmzmrzrvzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzcmw } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
