Finding a proper fractal was a ; more immediate if not quite as important task. ; ; Today's fractal image rates an imaginary 3. I have no idea how ; this rating fits into the usual rating scale, it must be off to ; the side somewhere, but after all the trouble the image gave me, ; I had to give it this rating. The clam-shell effect helped none ; at all. ; ; The problem was in the coloring. The scene looked promising ; when I found it, but nothing I tried produced colors that ; worked. I ended up rendering the scene with the outside set to ; 'summ', but even then the colors never approached anything near ; satisfactory. ; ; In frustration, I finally settled on today's too-blue-and-too- ; red color palette that is not helped by adding green. The name ; "Throw Away" refers to how I felt about the image when all my ; efforts at coloring failed. ; ; The calculation is thankfully fast, almost as fast as viewing ; the image, already calculated, on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Spring doesn't seem able to make up its mind. The temperature ; of 59F 15C and thick clouds kept the fractal cats close to the ; heat, which came on again here at Fractal Central on Thursday. ; My day was unusually busy. If it doesn't get even busier, the ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and for those concerned, my opinion about climate change is that ; it is 50-percent politics, 49-percent commercial advertising and ; 1-percent real, and of this 1-percent-real part only 1-percent ; is man-made. To make matters worse, there is little we are able ; and truly willing to do about the 1/100 of 1-percent that is ; both real and man-made. But if it makes us feel good to imagine ; that we are actually doing something about climate change when ; we buy the products of the 'green' companies, all the better for ; both us and the companies. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Throw-Away { ; time=0:00:28.36-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot6 passes=1 center-mag=+0.863\ 3692599764913/+0.08290534486951669/4.106888e+009 params=-12/16/1e-007/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=summ periodicity=10 colors=000KUCLWENXFPZHQ_ISaKTcLVdNXfPYgQ_iT_iV`jXb\ l_bl`dnbepeepggqjhskhsmjtpkvrkvspywszxwzzzzzzzzzzz\ uzzpyzptzppxpjrp_mkRbfFTaHUKHZ0Jc0JhUKmcPrhUvmYxKJ\ 0KNPMOYFPeIRbNVgS_eXdj_igzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzF\ tN5qI0nE0i50jA0lF0lK0nN0nS2pX5p_9qdEshHzkKzpNzuQzx\ TzzXzz`zzzzzYzzXzzzzwVzrTzmzzhQzdPz_zzVNzQzzLzzHIz\ Czz7QzAzzEbzHzzKpzNzzQzzNzzSwzVzzYhz`bzdzzgPzjIzmC\ zpzzXzzVzzTzzSzzQzzPzzNzzLzzKzzIzzLzzNzzPzzQzzSzzV\ zzXzzYzz_zz`zzdzzezzgzzhzzkzzjzzjzzhzzhzzhzzgzzgzz\ gzzezzezzdzzdzzdzzbzzbzy_zzbzzezzhzzkwzoszrozskzwg\ zzbzz_zzVzzSzzPzzLzzIzsFzoEzjAzd7z_4zT2zP0zK0zE0z9\ 0z10z40z54z7CzAIyCPtEXpHbjIhfKpaNwXPzMPzTQxXQsaQof\ SjjSepS`tTXyTSzTNzVIzVEzV9zX4zX0zXgzs0zX1zN5zF7nA7\ P7CUEHXKKaPPdVTg_Xle`pjdtphwumzzpzzuzzzzzxzzrzzjzz\ dzzXzzQzzIzz9zzCzzFpzIUzFZzCaz9dz5gzLzm`zNY_mVWpSR\ sQKwNGzKBzIAz0z42zEFzLSzT } frm:DivideBrot6 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1)-2, d=real(p2)+0.00000000000000000001, f=imag(p2)+16: z=z^(a)/(z^(-b)+d)+c |z| < f } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
