I have included ; two parameter files -- a slow version done with arbitrary preci- ; sion math, which takes about 10 minutes to finish, and a fast ; version done with conventional math, which draws the image in ; only a few seconds. The slow version has a somewhat better ; resolution than the fast version, but it is up to the individual ; viewer to decide whether slightly better resolution is worth a ; calculation time about 200 times as long. ; ; Perhaps the most unusual thing about the image is its anti- ; bifurcation. The outer ring around the minibrot consists of 16 ; lobes, while the next inner ring has reverted back to 8 lobes, ; from where it again begins normal bifurcation. This is a sign ; that the minibrot lies within the attraction basin of a larger ; minibrot. ; ; The image lies deep in the East Valley of the largest minibrot ; on the filament network extending from the period-4 bud on the ; northeast shore line of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set. I ; named it "Chrysanthemum" because that's what it reminds me of. ; (This might not be the first time I have used this name.) I ; rated the image at a 7.5, which includes a self-awarded bonus of ; 1/2 point for the coloring. The coloring probably makes 3/4 of ; the image. ; ; As I said earlier, a decision must be made between top quality ; and saved time. But this decision may be avoided by surfing out ; to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted for total bliss. I leave it ; to Paul to decide whether to calculate and post the fast or slow ; version. ; ; The Monday morning sun at Fractal Central faded fast as midday ; approached, and by afternoon was totally gone. The fractal ; cats, looking forward to a pleasant afternoon on their sun- ; shelf, were much disappointed. A short burst of artificial heat ; and a minor treat of tuna restored their good moods however. ; ; My day was semi-busy; tomorrow will likely be the same. Until ; then, take care, and when we have faith, must we turn off our ; faculty of reason and our knowledge of science? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Chrysanthemum-fast { ; time=0:00:03.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=0.36010379625664\ 01851/0.6412655477927573511/6.016702e+013/1/132/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=-570 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000XePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXeOYeNZeM_\ eL`dK_dLYeLXeMVeNUfNSfOQfPPgPNgQMgRKhRJhSHhTGhTKjU\ OlVTmWYoXbpYgrZls_pu`tvaxxbzyczr`zkZzeWYZUSSRMMPGF\ MA8K42I37K3BL3FM3KN3OO3SS3XV3`X3dZ3hZ6bZ9YZCTZFOPK\ JGOEEV9CbG8eM5cO8`QBYREVTGSVJQWMOYPM_RK`UIbXHcZKaX\ N_WQYVTWUWUTYSSkZVzdYzj`zpczvfzzhzoazbWbRQdQNePKfO\ HhNEiMBjL8kL5lIAlFFmCKm9Pn6Un3Zj9VfESbJOZOLzWjobfc\ hbebYgXThSOjMJkHEmB9n65p5Kq5Zs4mt4zGdrFchFb_EbREaI\ Ea9zNfuQgmTgeWgYZgQagS`fT_fU_eVZeWYdXYdWb_WgWVlSVq\ OVvKcrRknYsjdzgjzZgzRezJbzB`z3Zm9V`FSOLPBRMETRGVVI\ XZLZbN`fPbjRdnTimVmmXqmZumbvifvejwamwYAvzCrzEnuGjp\ IfkKbfM_bJafHciFelIZjKTiMNhOHgQBfS5eQEiOMlMUoLasJi\ vHqyGyzIzuKzoMzhOzbUza_zaez`jz`gzzezzbzz`zz_zz_zzZ\ zzZzzZzz`zzbzzdzzfzzhzzizzczzZzzUzzOzzJzzEzz9zz8zz\ 8zz8zzVzzpzzgzzZzzQzzHzz8zzDzzIzzNzzSzzVzzYzz`zzcz\ zfzzhzzjzzlzzmzzozzuzzrzz } Chrysanthemum-slow { ; time=0:09:27.18-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=0.36010379625664\ 01851/0.6412655477927573511/6.016702e+013/1/132/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=-570 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/0 colors=000XePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXePXeOYeNZeM_\ eL`dK_dLYeLXeMVeNUfNSfOQfPPgPNgQMgRKhRJhSHhTGhTKjU\ OlVTmWYoXbpYgrZls_pu`tvaxxbzyczr`zkZzeWYZUSSRMMPGF\ MA8K42I37K3BL3FM3KN3OO3SS3XV3`X3dZ3hZ6bZ9YZCTZFOPK\ JGOEEV9CbG8eM5cO8`QBYREVTGSVJQWMOYPM_RK`UIbXHcZKaX\ N_WQYVTWUWUTYSSkZVzdYzj`zpczvfzzhzoazbWbRQdQNePKfO\ HhNEiMBjL8kL5lIAlFFmCKm9Pn6Un3Zj9VfESbJOZOLzWjobfc\ hbebYgXThSOjMJkHEmB9n65p5Kq5Zs4mt4zGdrFchFb_EbREaI\ Ea9zNfuQgmTgeWgYZgQagS`fT_fU_eVZeWYdXYdWb_WgWVlSVq\ OVvKcrRknYsjdzgjzZgzRezJbzB`z3Zm9V`FSOLPBRMETRGVVI\ XZLZbN`fPbjRdnTimVmmXqmZumbvifvejwamwYAvzCrzEnuGjp\ IfkKbfM_bJafHciFelIZjKTiMNhOHgQBfS5eQEiOMlMUoLasJi\ vHqyGyzIzuKzoMzhOzbUza_zaez`jz`gzzezzbzz`zz_zz_zzZ\ zzZzzZzz`zzbzzdzzfzzhzzizzczzZzzUzzOzzJzzEzz9zz8zz\ 8zz8zzVzzpzzgzzZzzQzzHzz8zzDzzIzzNzzSzzVzzYzz`zzcz\ zfzzhzzjzzlzzmzzozzuzzrzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
