The parent fractal resembles a ; Julia set with a grossly enlarged Mandelbrot bud in the back- ; ground. In the southeast corner of the parent lies a prominent ; spiral. Today's image shows that spiral with stripes added, ; plus one of the smaller but much-enlarged Mandelbrot ghost buds ; lurking in the background. ; ; I posted the image after trying for almost an hour to bring it ; to life, with very little success. I named the image "Stripes ; in Sight". One look at the image will explain the name. I have ; done many images of this type over the years, and most of them ; are notably better than today's. The maxiter of 32,767 is ; barely adequate for the ghost-bud effect. A maxiter of some- ; thing like 200,000 would improve the definition, but it would ; also almost double the calculation time. Oh, what the heck. I ; think I'll go ahead and raise the maxiter to 200,000. ; ; The calculation time has now been raised from 10 minutes to just ; under 17 minutes, which is far too slow for an image of such ; questionable quality. I strongly recommend sufing to the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there. ; ; Too much of a good thing prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Monday. The temperature of 93F 34C combined with an unbroken ; hot sun made for heat that sent the fractal cats searching for ; the coolest place they could find. With the cool air vents in ; the living room not yet producing cool air, the cats chose to ; lie on the cool tile of the bathroom floor. ; ; My day was very close to average. Most likely, tomorrow will be ; the same. The next FOTD, a much-improved one without doubt, ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be at ; peace with your iterations. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Stripes_in_Sight { ; time=0:16:58.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=ObliqueManPlus passes=1 center-mag=+1.0191258/-0.42280024/75.0584/1/-8.75/0 params=0/0/-0.5/0.527/0.018756/0.024873 float=y maxiter=200000 inside=0 logmap=488 periodicity=10 colors=000rIPNILrIPNIUwIYNI_yIcNIgzIlNIpzJtNJyzJzN\ LzzLzNLzzNzNNzzNzNNzzLzNLzzJzNJzzIzNIzzIzNIzzIzNIz\ zIzNIzzIzNIzzIyNIwzItNIrzIpNInzIlNIjzIgNIezIcNIazI\ _NIYzIWNIUzISNIPzINNIPzIPNIPzIPNISzISNISzISNIUzIUN\ IUzIUNIWzIWNIWzIWNIYzIYNIYzIYNI_zI_NI_zI_NIazIaNJa\ zJaNLczLcNNcyNcNPewPeNRerReNTgpTgNVgpTlNVjnVjNVjnV\ gNVgnVgNVgnVeNVelVeNVelVcWVchVcNVchVaYVagVaaV_gV_e\ V_gV_fV_dVYeUYgTYhSYhRWgQWgQWgQWgQUgQUgQUgQUgQUgQW\ gSYgS_gUZgWaeYce_ec_gc_ja_la_n__p__r__tY`wY`yWazWa\ zUbzUbzSczSczPczPdzPdzNdzNdzLdzLdzJdzJdzHdzHdzFdzH\ dzJdzJdzLdzNdzNdzPdzPdzSdzUdzUdzWdzWdzYdz_dz_dzadz\ adzcdzedzedzgfzgizjkzlmzloznqznszpuzrwzryztzzpzzrz\ zrzztzztzztzzwzzwzzyzzyzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:ObliqueManPlus {;Jim Muth z=p1+pixel, c=p2+(p3*pixel): z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <=100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
