This halfway fractal is shaped like a ; tear drop with a tiny extra bay on the smooth shore line of its ; pointed east end. (I suspect that this tiny extra bay is actu- ; ally the extremely shrunken main bay.) ; ; The west side of the parent fractal has the expected Mandelbrot ; buds along its shore. Today's scene is located near the tip of ; a filament extending from one of these buds. ; ; The shape of the parent fractal is symmetrical with respect to ; the X-axis, though the bands of the outside=imag coloring ; feature are not. Therefore, changing the sign of the Y coordi- ; nate while keeping the absolute value unchanged brings an ; entirely different color scheme to the mirrored same scene. ; ; The name "Tardy Technicality" has little meaning. And why must ; a name have meaning or even make sense. (Remember the song ; 'Stairway to Heaven'.) ; ; The rating of 7-1/2 indicates that the image is good but not ; exceptional. One half of the rating is a reward for the effort ; I put into the coloring. ; ; The calculation time of 7 minutes is slightly slow, but nothing ; that will cause civilization to grind to a halt. And even the ; small effort of running the included parameter file may be ; avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The partly cloudy skies were compromised by an unusually chilly ; temperature of 57F 14C here at Fractal Central on Monday. The ; fractal cats made themselves comfortable by the heat, which came ; on again for an hour. My day was quite busy, but concluded ; successfully. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, with or without the ; approval of the cats. Until then, take care, and be careful of ; what you think. Your thoughts are being monitored for illegal ; traces of hate. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Tardy_Technicality { ; time=0:07:01.77-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=NewDivideBrot function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.8127135141137847/+0.8410592011071745\ /4.98609e+010/1/-167/0 params=1/2 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 outside=imag periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000mzzIIzMGzPEzTCzXAz_8zc6zg4zj2zn0zr0zu0zK\ 2dK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cK0cQ2eWBfaLggUhmciwrntolrljpih\ nfflddjabgZaeW_cTYaRW_OUYLSWIQTFPRDNPALN7JL4HJ1FC0\ EE0EF0EG1EH3EJ1EL3EN5EP7ESAEUCEWFEYHEZHC_JE`LG`OIb\ QKbQMdTOeVQfXSg_Uh`WibYle_phavndysiztjzzpzzzzwqzzn\ zslwrhrr`nnZjnXfmUbjT_jSXjRVjQUjOTjNRiMQiLPiKNiIMi\ HLiGJiFIiEHiDGgGGfJGeMGdOGcRGbUGaWG`ZG_aGYcGXfGWiG\ VkGUnGTqGSsGRvGQyGPzGPzHQzIRzISzJTzKUyKVyLVyLWyMXy\ NYxNZxO_xP_xP`wQawQbwRcwSdwSevTevUfvUgvVhuViuWjuXj\ uXkuYltZmtZnt_ot_otYluXiuVguUdvTbvR_vQYwOVwNTwMQxK\ OxJLxJNzILzIKyIJxIIxHHwHGvHFuHEuGDtGCsGBr6EpACqDBr\ GArK9sN8tQ7tU6uX5v_3vb2wf1xi0xl0yp0zs0zv0zw0zx0zy0\ zy0xz0uz0rz0oz0lz1iz2fz3cz4`z5Yz6Vz7Tz6Uz6Uz6Uy6Ux\ 6Uw6Uu6Ut6Us6Ur6Up6Uo6Un6Ul6Uk6Uj6Ui6Ug6Uf6Ue6Uc6U\ b6Ua6U`6U_8TZASYCRYDQXFPWHOAXiAWjBVlBUmBToBSpCRrCQ\ sCQuDPvDOxDNyEMzELzEKzANz } frm:NewDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
