It is no doubt a Mandeloid, but its main bay is shaped ; like a teardrop rather than a heart, and its buds shrink and ; vanish into the land of extreme periodicity well before reaching ; the area where East Valley should be. In fact, no hint at all ; of an East Valley appears in the parent fractal. ; ; I named the image "Straight Edge" because it lies on the edge of ; the main bay of its parent fractal in an area of such high peri- ; odicity that the buds have shriveled to invisibility and the ; edge appears as a straight line. I rated the scene at a 7. ; ; It is no surprise that the elements of the image have an itera- ; tion count well into the thousands. The maxiter of 150,000 ; might be a bit excessive, but with the logmap turned off, it ; makes little diference. Such a high iteration count makes the ; image a very slow one however, taking a full 43 minutes to ; finish on the fastest machines. ; ; But salvation is at hand on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where I have sent the image on ahead to save Paul the calcula- ; tion time. But as always, I still suggest a wait of an hour or ; two to give him a chance to post the image. ; ; Brilliant sun and a temperature of 37F 3C here at Fractal ; Central on Thursday not only gave the fractal cats a pleasant ; day in the sunny window, but it also melted the frozen drain. ; My day was rather busy but still within reason. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and stay ; alert. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Straight_Edge { ; time=0:43:21.44-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 inside=0 periodicity=10 center-mag=+47.43645771417901/-2.558486870943088/\ 1353819/1/32.5/0 params=1/50 float=y maxiter=150000 colors=000aBfeAfhAfl9fp9fs9fpDgmGgjJhgNhdQiaTiZXjX\ _jUbkRfkOilLllIpmFsmDvmFtlGrlIqlJokLnkMlkNkkPijQhj\ SfjTejVciWbiX`iZ_i_YhaXhbVhccicZhcUhcPgcKgcGgdLeeQ\ cfVbg_`d`Whc_kecnggqijtknwmrzourjnjfgcb`WZUOUNHQG9\ M91K12L23M33N44O54P65Q75R86S96TA7UB7VC8WD9XE9YFAZG\ A_HBaIBbJCcKCdLDfMDgNEhOFgLEiPEjTElWEm_DobDpfDriDs\ mAusDtpGsnIrlLqiNqgQpeTobVn`YmZ_mWblUekSgjPjiNogDl\ iLjkToxlhm`abPcLDWSEOZFGeG9lGAjIAiKAhMAgOAfQAeSAdU\ AbWAaYA`_A_aAZcAYeAXgAWiFUfJScNR`SPZWOW_NTeLSjLQnJ\ Pp3NqFMpLJoPFnTCnX9l_FjbLidRgfWehadkgbnmdpuapr_mpX\ jmVgkSdhQafNYcLVaISZGPXDMUBJS9GQBFRCFRDFSEFSFFTHFT\ IFTJFUKFULFVMFVOFVPFWQFWRFXSFXUFXVFYWFYXFZYFZVQu_D\ _ZFZZHYYJYYLXXNXXPWWRVWTVVVUVXUUZTU`TUbSTdRTfRShQS\ jQRlPRnOQpOQrNPtNPvMNyLPxMRwNTvNVvOXuOYtP_tPasQcrQ\ eqRgqRhpSjoSloTnnTpmUssXrpVqmUqjTphSpeRobPn_OnYNmV\ MmSLlPJkNIkKHjHGtC7oEBjFF } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
