But I did not want to miss the FOTD, so I ; decided to post an image that was intended to be a passing scene ; on the route to the real FOTD. I named it "Not a True FOTD" and ; gave it no rating. How could I rate an image that consists of ; merely two grossly mis-shapen minibrots? ; ; Actually the distortion is all the image has to offer. The main ; minibrot is so twisted that its buds are almost impossible to ; identify. The East Valley is obvious enough, but the Seahorse ; Valley lies on the upper left side of the main bay, where the ; period-2 bud is located. The really prominent valley sets off ; the southern period-3 bud, which is grossly distorted by the ; presence of a spurious hole. The large bud to the right of East ; Valley is actually the southern period-4 bud. ; ; All this being said, the image calculates in a blessedly brief ; 1-1/2 minutes. And the trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to view the completed image is also blessedly easy. ; ; One-hundred-percent wall-to-wall sunshine prevailed here at ; Fractal Central on Tuesday. When the temperature rose from 50F ; 10C at sunrise to 72F 22C at 4:15pm, the fractal cats voiced ; their approval by calling for their afternoon treat. ; ; My day was kept busy by discussing economics, a topic about ; which I have far too little knowledge. But then, I see by ; watching the news that I'm not alone in my ignorance. At any ; rate, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours -- that is unless ; the stock market crashes on Wednesday, when the FOTD could be ; delayed indefinitely while I try again to ease FL's anxieties. ; Until next time, take care, and if money is metaphysical, then ; it is nothing. Why then do we complain when we have too little ; of nothing? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Not_a_True_FOTD { ; time=0:01:28.49-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=t center-mag=-2.04951/7.75484/3.212379/1/127.5/0 params=1/-11/0.1/2/0/525/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000myXlxWlwWlvWluWrbHncHjdHfeHefGdeHceHbdHa\ dH`dH_cHZcHYcHXbHWbHVbHUaHTaHS`HRZHQYHQWHPVHPVHOUH\ OUHNUHMTHMTHLTHLSHKSHISFKTHMWIOZKQaLSdMUfOWhPYjQ_l\ SanTaqSbpTcoUcnVdmVdlWekXejXfiYfhZgg_gf_he`idaicaj\ bbjack`dk_dlZelYfmXfmWgnVhoUioTipSjpRkqQkqPlrOmrNn\ sMnsLotKptJpsLorMnqNmpOloPknQjmRilShkTgjUfiVehWdgY\ dfZce_bd`aca`bb_acZ`dY_eXZfWYgVXhUWjUVkTUlSTmRSnQR\ oPQpOPqNOrMNsLMtKLuJGwGIvIKvJLuKNuMPtNQtOStQUsRVsS\ XrUYrV_qWaqYbqZdp_fpagobiocjpejodjndjmdjldjldjkdjj\ djidjhdjhdjgdjfdjedjedjddjcdjbdjadjadj`dj_djZdjYdj\ YdjXdjWdjVdjVdjUdjTdjSdjRdjRdjQdjPdjOdjNdjNdjMdjLd\ jKdkIcjKdiLeiMehNfhPggQggRhfShfTieVjeWjdXkdYkcZlb`\ mbamabnacn`eo`fp_gp_hqZiqZkrYlsYmsXntXotPnfImTBlF1\ i03j14k16k27l28l3Am3Bm4Cn4Eo5Fo5Gp6Ip6Jq7Kq7Mr8Ns8\ Os9Qt9RtASuAUuBVvBWvBSpAOjALdAHZADTAANA6HAsAy3BA8G\ DDLFHQHMVJQ_LVdO_iQcnShsU } 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
