Z^5 is about as high as one ; can go and still expect variety. Beyond this point a boring ; flowery sameness creeps in, which continues, I suppose, all the ; way to infinity. ; ; Today's image clearly shows the progression of the series ; 5,25,125... as the four-lobed minibrot is approached. The image ; is located on the shore line of the northeast lobe of its parent. ; ; I named the image "Pentagram Pannikin" for reasons known only to ; myself. I think a pannikin is a small cup, though I would never ; bet anything on it. The rating of a 6 could be a bit liberal. ; After all, it's only a quintic minibrot. But to avoid bringing ; politics into fractals, let's call a rating of 6 a consensus. ; ; The calculation time of just over 2 minutes makes calculation a ; pleasure. Those who wish to avoid being overwhelmed by pleasure ; may view the completed image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; There is no formula included in the parameter file because the ; image uses the type=manzpower formula hard-coded into Fractint. ; ; Too many clouds, too little sun and a temperature of only 46F 8C ; kept the fractal cats on the sullen side here at Fractal Central ; on Monday, while too much work and too little time kept me ; sullen. But in the end the fractals prevailed and today's image ; appeared almost from nowhere. ; ; With any luck, the same thing will happen again in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and beware of the cornflicker jumping ; caterpillar. It could devastate the corn crop. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Pentagram_Pannikin { ; time=0:02:09.23-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=manzpower center-mag=+0.3553089574\ 873845/+0.6853393808366973/2.3e+013/1/-173.25/0 params=0/0/5/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=208 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000KClKDkKEjKFiKGhKHgKIfKJeKKdKLcKMbKNbKObK\ PbKQbbVXhXNnZEs`5t_9tZCtYFuYIuXLuWOvWRvVUvUXwU_wTb\ wSewShsRioRikRjhRjdRk`RkXRlURl`LYgFJn95mB7lD8kE9kG\ AjHBiJCiKDhMEgOFgPGfRHeSIeUJdVKcXLcYMe_NgaOibOkdPm\ ePngQpiRrjRtlSvmSxoTypTwlSuiSteRrbRqZRoWQnTQlPQjMP\ iIPgFPfBOd8Oc5OznnznlznlznlznizkgzgbzdazaYzYRzVRxQ\ QtNQqLQnJInJInIInIIsQRxYazfazn_zsgzzdzzqzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzVzzVzzTwzTwzRwzRtzQtzQtzQszOszOszNszNqzNqzLqzL\ pzJpzJpzJpzInzInzGnzGlzElzElzDlzDkzDkzBkzBLFwRMvXT\ vb_uhfudgpagkZgfWgaTgXPhSMhNJhIGhDDh8Ah3Bi6Ci9DjCD\ jEEkHFkKFlNGlPHlSHmVImYJn_JnbKoeLohLojIhdGa_EWVBPQ\ 9IL7CGAGFDKFGNFJRFLUFOYFR`FUdEXhEZkEzozzrzzvzzyzzw\ zzuzzszQqbLohHmnGkkGiiGggGeeGcbGc`FcZFcXFcUFcSFcQF\ cOFcMIcKKcJMcHPcGRcETcDVbBYfAzj8zm7zp5zs4zv2zx1zz0\ zzBzzLzzVzzdzznzzkzzhzzfzzczz`zzZzzWzzTzzRzzOzzLzz\ JzzOzzSzzXzz`zzezzizznzzr } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
