The name refers to ; the five arms in the image that converge on the minibrot. Only ; three of these arms come from outside the frame. The other two ; seemingly originate from nowhere within the image. This ; explains the three and five in the name. The four refers to the ; number of broad spiral loops around the minibrot. True, there ; is a fifth spiral, but it is so small as to be easily overlooked. ; ; The rating of a 6-1/2 seems about right. It includes a half- ; point reward for the 10 minutes or so I put into smoothing the ; colors. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes could be faster; it also ; could be slower. The way to totally avoid the hassle of calcula- ; tion is to view the completed image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Sunless skies here at Fractal Central on Friday made for ; cheerless fractal cats, while the temperature of freezing kept ; the unhappy duo close by the radiator. A small spat developed ; when Nicholas tried to dislodge Cassie from the warmest spot, ; but when Cassie uttered some un-lady-like cat words and refused ; to yield, Nicholas went off to sulk in the laundry basket. ; ; My day was unusually busy, but nothing to cause a sweat. The ; next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and it's all a plot of the aliens from Sirius 3. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Three-Four-Five { ; time=0:03:28.70-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot6 center-mag=-0.2223987583448442/+2.429375020581819/\ 1.627062e+008/1/-147.5/0 params=3/4/10/1000 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=288 periodicity=10 colors=000GHjGGiGGhGFgGEfGEeGDeGCdGCcGBbGAaGA`G9_G\ 9_F8ZF7YF7XF6WF5VF5UF4UF3TF3SF2RF1QF1PF0OF0OG1OH2O\ I3OJ5OK6OK7OL8OM9ONAOOBOPCOPDOQEORFOSGOTHOUIOUJOVK\ OWLMXMKYNIZOG_PE`QCaRAaSA`SA`SA`SA_SA_RAZQAYPAXOAW\ NAVMAULATKASJARIAQHAPGAOFANE9MD8LC7KB8JA9I9AI8BJ7C\ K6DL6DM7EO7FP7GQ8HR8IS8IUAJWBKXDLZEM_FNaHObIPdJQeL\ RgMRhOSjPTkQUmSVnTWpUXqWYsXZtYZs_Yr`XqaWpbVocUpdTq\ eSsfRugQwhPziOzjNzkMvlLrmKmnJhoIepHaqG`rF_sEZtDYuC\ XvBWwAVx9Uy5Ty0Tx0Tw0Uv0Uu0Ut0Us3Wq8YpD_nH`mMbkRdj\ Vfh_ggdiehkdmlcqf`paZoXXoSVnMTmHRmCPl7Nk2Lk5Nj7Pj9\ RjBTjDUjFWiHYiJ_iLaiN`iP_hRZhTYhVXhXWhWVhWUiVWkVZn\ WcqWhtWjwWmzWmzWmzWnzWnzWnyWoxWowWnvWmuXltWksWjsWi\ sWhsWgsWfrWerWdrWcrWbrWarW`qW_qWZqW_qW`qWaqXapYbpZ\ cp_dp`epafpbfocgodhoeiofjogkohknilnjmnknnlonmplnqm\ ormpsmqtmrumqvmpwmpxmoymozmnzmmzmmzmlzmlzmkzmjzmjz\ mizmizmhzmhzmgznfznfznezn } frm:DivideBrot6 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1)-2, d=real(p2)+0.00000000000000000001, f=imag(p2)+16: z=z^(a)/(z^(-b)+d)+c |z| < f } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
