And one of ; the replies was GPS -- the global positioning satellite system. ; This is indeed a benefit. In the bad old days, we actually had ; to do things like note the positions of the stars and the time ; of day, and then do some mathematics if we wanted to know where ; on earth we were. (I wonder if they still teach celestial navi- ; gation at the Naval Academy.) ; ; Luckily, there is no navigation problem with today's image, ; which was produced by subtracting Z^(2.6) from Z^(2.4). To see ; the action, simply load up the included parameter file, strike ; the 'go' button and within a few minutes the parameter file will ; generate the image. ; ; I named the image "On the Run". There is about as much reason ; behind the name as there is behind some of my ratings. And BTW, ; I have been considering dropping the rating system. All it does ; is deter some people from checking the images. If I do drop the ; ratings, viewers who want to know the quality of the day's image ; will have to calculate the image themselves or go view it on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and make their own rating. ; ; BTW, today's image rates an adequate 7. I really don't think it ; is worth much more. (Opposing opinions cheerfully accepted.) ; ; Increasing clouds marred Wednesday here at Fractal Central, ; though the temperature of 55F 13C was not at all bad. The ; fractal cats complained when their afternoon sun failed to ; appear, but otherwise were happy enough. ; ; My day was rather busy. Tomorrow should be the same. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I ; just saw a Higgs particle pass through the room. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_the_Run { ; time=0:06:49.61-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-1.766272449888003/+0.0115958894054906/\ 5.083122e+010/1/-20/0 params=1/2.4/-1/2.6/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=3000 inside=0 logmap=346 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000K5cK5cK5cK5cK5cK5cK5cK6cK7cK8cK9cLBcLDcL\ FcLHcLJcJIcHHcGFc1Ec2Dc4Cc5Bc7Ac9DZAFTBIOBMJEQKHSL\ KTMMUNPUOSROVNPXJQ_FRbBSe7Tg4TjBUlHVnNWpUXr_YteZi`\ VZWROSODNK3JH6HK9GNBFQEDTGCWJBZLA`O8cR7fT6iW4lY3o`\ 2rb1t`6s_AsZEsYJsXNsWRsVVsU_sTcsSgsRlsQpsPtsOxsMwm\ LvhJucItZGsTFrODqJCpEBp9EoCGoEInGKnJMnLOmNQmPSmSzz\ UzwWzrZzn`wkbmkddhbdf`ecZeaXfZVfXTfVRgSPgQNhNLhLJi\ IHVTmUZaUdRUjFUp4QoBNnHKmNHlTEk_Bjz8iz5hz6fr6dj7be\ 7``8ZV8YR8WN9UI9SEAQ9AO5AN1CO2DO2FP3GP3IQ4JQ4LR5MR\ 5NS5PS6QT6ST7TU7VU8cV8mV8vRBzODzLFzIHzEJzBLz8Nv5Pd\ AKNFG5JC4KE4LG4MI3NK3OL3PN3QP2RR2ST2TU1UW1VY1W_1W`\ 3XY5YW6ZU8ZSA_QB`ODaMFaKGbIIcGKdELdCNeAPf8Qf6Td8Vc\ 9YbA_`Cb_DdZEfYFYVPPSZGPh8Nr9Ft9Fv9KwBPrDUnFZjGchI\ hmKmrLrvNvzPzzzzJSzzUzzzz7Xzzzz7SzzzzDOzzMzzzzMIzz\ FzzzzWBzz9zzzzd5zz3zzzzh8zzzzeCzzEzzzz`JzzLzzzzWPz\ zRzzzzSWzzYzzzzaazzczgzzk } 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
