(I leave ; it to the viewer to find the original version.) It's all I had ; time for after FL and I spent most of the day Saturday exploring ; an antique emporium near Chambersburg, PA. (The trip was not ; wasted. FL found an old carpet that she insisted we simply had ; to have.) ; ; Today's image shows "The Great Mandelbrot Set", floating in the ; sky above a world it has just created but to which it has not ; yet added the details. (Any resemblance to the assumed Deity of ; our universe is purely intentional.) The proportions of the ; Great Mandelbrot Set are slightly different than those we are ; used to, but there can be no mistaking that it is a Mandelbrot ; set. ; ; The nascent universe and its creator were created by subtracting ; some Z^(0.45) from about twice as much Z^(0.98) and adding ; straight C. Since basically the same image is being posted for ; the second time, I could give it no rating, but even so, I think ; it's a bit more striking than average. ; ; The calculation time will cause no impatience. At a godlike ; speed of 25 seconds, it will finish before boredom even thinks ; of arising. Those with over-challenged computers may view the ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Gusty winds, thick clouds and a temperature of 48F 9C took all ; the fun out of life here at Fractal Central on Saturday. At ; least, that's what the fractal cats told us when we returned ; from the antiquing expedition around 9pm. A quick treat of tuna ; cheered the cat duo, though I had to go into my archives to find ; today's fast FOTD. ; ; The next FOTD is due in a mere 8 hours. But whether the FOTD ; actually appears on schedule is a matter of chance. Until next ; time, take care, and seek union with the great fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Great_Mand-Set { ; time=0:00:25.91-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=t center-mag=+0.01248328825047417/0/557.041/1/-90/0 params=0.98/0.76/-0.23/0.45/1.00087/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=95 inside=bof61 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000zzgzHbzzXzQSzzNzZHzbCzzIzWNzzTzPZzLdzzjzFozzu\ z8zrCxnGwiKueOtaSrYWpT_oPcmQdjRegSfdTgbTh_UiXVjUWk\ RWbOWE_XFaYGcZHe_Ig`JiaKkbLmcModNqeOrfPrgQrhQqiSoi\ UihUhbUgcUhcUecUdcUccUbcUacU`cU_cUZcUYcUXcWWdYVg_c\ jacnccqectgcwiczkczmczmczmczmczmcmUwmKwmRwmUwmUwmU\ wmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwmUwAjZHhVO\ gSVeOk0IhAJfLKcVLFmpLkhRh`XfTRDSxmkrjdlhYffRbmqah`\ P9DWPHduQMExSNjXWYGgyxOKlXLJ0cQEXWSRYi3Zh8_fC`eHY4\ 7_HC`THORLTWLY`Lc_LbaLacLpgnDT6JWAQZEWaIPOvUUiY_X2\ KsBPjKVaT_T18DKPHORfSMkWTbZZUPQ9SUCWYFZaIjVrnWiiZ`\ eaTxLjpSahZTUTvp_MkaLfcLL2kPCdUMYYWRlATfQPHEHSSJkM\ dhR_fWVc`QFzDLtFRoHXiJYFaZMY_ST`ZPRequxRnqPgjNbyqa\ n`3YCagNafMaeL4QVGVRR_OkwAcS9m5wgNchd7VEiXLcZSX`ZR\ W_UY`SZbP`cNkPRQFUWSPbJYbPVaURa_ODinRlqVifZfWFPvNV\ iV_XFhSLgQRfOXeM_OCWIASC8 } 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
