A fractal that ; resembles a bloated honeybee mooning a sunflower, which, if it ; existed, would be located just beyond the right edge of the ; frame. In the center of this fractal, four very thin valleys ; form a spidery letter 'X'. Today's scene is located rather deep ; in the valley forming the northwest arm of this 'X'. ; ; I could rate the image no higher than a 5 because it doesn't ; appear to be worth the excessive calculation time of 24 minutes ; caused by the unusually large iteration count of the elements. ; The lowest count in the entire image appears in the upper left ; and lower right corners. It is over 2700. I did not use the ; logmap with this image however, since it squeezes the colors too ; close to the central minibrot. ; ; I named the image "Colorful_Menagerie" because I didn't want to ; mention the bee mooning the unseen sunflower. This leaves only ; one problem to be settled -- that of the too-long calculation ; time. But this frustrating wait may be avoided by going to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the image in finished form there. ; ; An all day rain and temperature of 68F 20C made conditions less ; than ideal here at Fractal Central on Friday. The two fractal ; cats ignored the weather as they took it easy, while my day was ; spent doing a lot of nothing. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for the right light. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Colorful_Menagerie { ; time=0:23:59.03-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-0.07911857351156/+0.078788632004786/\ 4.032995e+009/1/-102.5/0 params=1/3/-1/1/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=250000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000mQ_kS_iU_gW_eY_c__aa_`c_lNmx7zy8yy9xy9wy\ AvyAuyBtzCszCrzDqzDpzEozEnoFjdGfVGcbOViWMqcDxj4uk5\ sl6ql7nm8lm9jnAhoBeoCcpDapE_qFXrGVrHTsIRsIQoHPlHOi\ HNeGMbGL_GKXFJTFIQFHNEGKEFGEEDDDADD7DGBFIEGLHHNKIQ\ OJSRKVUMXXN_`OacPdfQfiRgkPhlOinMjoLkqJlrImtGnuFovE\ puHpuKquMquPruRrtUstXstZttattcrsZprVoqQmqMkpIjoDhn\ 9gn5jmElmNnlWpldohaoeZnaXnZUmVSmSPlONlLKkHHkEFjACj\ 7Ai37i05f16d26b36`46Z56W66U76S86Q96OA6MB6PACR9IU8O\ W7TY6Z`5db4jd3of6ng8nhBniDnjGnkInlKnnNmoPmpSmqUmrX\ msZmt`mLVoWUjfTeqTasggtulotgksbgrYbqTZpPVoKQnFMmAI\ l6Im8Im9InBInCIoEIoFIpHIpIIpKIqLIqNIrOIrQIsRIsTIsU\ MlZPebS_fUXcVVaWTZXRXYPUZNS_KP`INaGKbEIcCFdADfEFgH\ GhLHjOIkRJlVKmYLo`MpdNqgOrjPbWaNHm83y4Tg1qQ5oO8nMC\ lKFkIJjGMhEQgCTfAVc9W`8YY7ZV6`T6aQ5cN4dK3fI3gF2iC1\ j90k70RPU6fv8biA_XBXKAZJ9_J8aI7bI6dI6eH5gH4hH3jG2k\ G2lG4hIxE_vG_tI_rK_pM_nO_ } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
