But do not be deceived by appearances. ; It is actually a minibrot of order 1.95, basically indistinguish- ; able from a quadratic minibrot. The parent fractal appears to ; be an oversized Mandelbrot set, but some minor differences along ; the negative X-axis spoil its perfection. Today's image lies in ; one of these differences. ; ; The image is located in an almost totally swallowed up scepter, ; its remains barely peeking out from a discontinuity. I named it ; "Kaleidoscope Color" when I remembered how, as a child, I spent ; hours gazing into one of those toy kaleidoscopes, watching the ; broken bits of colored glass create ever-changing 6-sided ; patterns. ; ; I rated the image at a 6.5, giving myself a half-point bonus for ; the work I put into the coloring. Had I put a little more work ; into the colors, I might have been able to rate the image at a 7. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is within reason. Viewing ; the completed image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; is also quite reasonable. ; ; The trip back to Old Fractal Central on Saturday was uneventful. ; But curiously enough, even though I moved away 2-1/2 years ago ; and only one of the old fractal cats is still alive, it still ; seems like I'm returning home from a vacation trip. ; ; The Saturday weather at New Fractal Central was miserable -- ; cloudy with light rain and a temperature of 54F 12C, while at ; Old Fractal Central it was sunny and 72F 22C. Sunday here at ; New Fractal Central was mostly sunny and quite pleasant, with a ; temperature of 64F 18C. The one remaining old fractal cat, ; Thomas, slept through the fine weather on Saturday. The two new ; fractal cats, Nicholas and Cassandra, stood watch in the window ; most of Sunday, making sure no unwanted cats intruded into the ; yard. ; ; I simply took both days as easy as possible, which is not too ; easy on a day with a 300-mile round trip included. The next ; FOTD, undoubtedly glorious, will be posted in an incredibly ; brief 24 hours. Until then, take care, but leave a little room ; for fun. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Kaleidoscope_Color { ; time=0:01:30.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=dividebrot5a center-mag=-139.6825641679953/+1.069306308971118/\ 892255.3/1/63.5/0 params=1.95/100/1000000/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=149 periodicity=10 colors=0007Kl8Pm9UnAZnBcoBhoCmpDrpEvqEyqPnd_cTjTGu\ I4qJ7nK9kKChLEdLHaMJZMMWNOTNQVQTWSVXUYYW_ZYa`_daaf\ bchcekdgmeiocflaci``fZYcXV`WSYUPVSMSRJPPGMNDJMAGK7\ DI4AH27P5AX8DcBFkEIz_UzbNzZMvUMnTLjVLfYLb`KZbKVeJR\ hJNjJKeKHaLEXLBTM8PN5KN2GO0CO2EM4GK6IJ8KHAMFCOEEQC\ GSAIU9KW7MX6OW7PV7QU8RT8SS9TR9UQAVQASP9PO9MN9JP9GU\ 9DY9A`97c99f8Ai8ml7mo7rq7wr6ws6ws6rt5mu5hu5mvBrvGm\ vMcvRUvXKvaGvgGvlCwd9wX6wP3wH6uG8tGArFDqFFoEHnEKlD\ MkDOjCRhCTgBVeBYdA_bAaa9c`9ZTCVLERDGN6IL9KKBLJEMIG\ NHIOGLPFNQDPRCSSBUTAWU9ZV8`W7bX8`W9ZWAYVBWVCUUDTUE\ RTFQTGOSHMSILRJJRJIRKITMIVNIXOIZQI`RIbTIdUIfVIhZJc\ aKZeLVhMQlNLoOHnPJzPKlQzkQNjQPiRzhRSgRzfSVeSWdTYcT\ ZbT`aUa`Uc`UdZWeXYeV_fUafScgQdgPfhNhhLjhKliImiGojF\ qjDskBukAvktyinzeizbdzZ_zWVzTQzPLzMGzJBzF6zC1z94zD\ 6zH8zLAzOCzSEzWHzZJzbLzfNziPzmRzqTztOzqJzmEzj9zf4z\ c6z`8zY9zVBzSDzPEzMBzm9zl } frm:DivideBrot5a { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, d=real(p2)+16 b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < d } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
