Like most fractals ; that combine negative exponents, this parent is beyond descrip- ; tion, though it is quite simple to reproduce. ; ; I chose to investigate a tiny valley on the northwest shore line ; of the southernmost large bay, which appears to have the best ; developed Mandelbrot characteristics. In a matter of minutes I ; found a minibrot very near the limit of resolution, which became ; today's FOTD. ; ; I named the image "Elusive Flutterby" when for some reason it ; reminded me of a butterfly. I believe this class of insects ; were originally called flutterbys. The rating of a 7.5 might ; stretch the truth a little, but what the heck. Sometimes I ; stretch the truth quite a lot. ; ; At least the calculation time has not been stretched. It took ; an entire 5 minutes to calculate the image on the fast 2000mhz ; machine. And don't forget the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image is or momentarily will be posted for immediate ; and absolutely total gratification. ; ; Heavy clouds, steady rain, and a chilly temperature of 54F 12C ; kept things well dampened here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. ; The fractal cats' spirits were especially well dampened, but an ; extra treat of tuna and cheddar took their minds off the bad ; weather, and a dose of fresh catnip kept their minds off the ; weather. ; ; For me it was a back to work day. Luckily, the work was not ; very heavy, and was out of the way just after lunch. To fill ; the afternoon I watched one of the junkiest of junky old sci-fi ; movies, "The Creeping Terror", which is so bad that it must be ; seen to be believed. Actually, the movie's awefulness gave me ; just the push I needed to find today's image. The next FOTD ; image will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; since dreams happen inside the brain, how is it possible to ; dream of something too large to fit in the brain? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Elusive_Flutterby { ; time=0:05:05.55-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.06238493615275089/-1.513718825559952\ /2.08e+012/1/-37.5/0 params=-5/-1.5/-1.5/-5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000YZZb`YgcXleWVUiDIvCKrCLoCNkCOhCQeCRaCTZC\ UWCWSCXPCZLC_ICaFCbBCd8Ce5Dc9EbCF`FG_IHYLIXOJVRKUV\ LSYMR`NPcOOfPMiQLlRKoPJkNIgLHcJH_IGWGFSEFOCEKBDG9D\ C7C85B44B159757D55J53P51V82XA2ZC2_E2aG2cJ3dL3fN3hP\ 3iR3kT3lR7gPBcNFZMJVKNQIRMGVHFZDDb8Bf4Ai0Fj2Jj3Nj4\ Sj5Wj6_j7dj8hj9ljAmiDniGniJoiMpiPphSqhVrhYrh`shcsh\ f000WNMKCB821C50G80KB0NE0RG0VJ0YM0aP0eR0hU0lX0p_0s\ a0mU6hNCbGHY9NT2S5nA6jD6fG6bJ7ZM7VP7RS8NV8JY8F`8Bb\ 9A_9AX9AUAARAAOAALAAIBCJBDJBEJBFJBGJBHKBIKCKKCLKCM\ KCNLCOLCPLCQLCRLHTJLVIPXHUZFY`EaaDY`CV_BSZAPY9MX8J\ X7LSGMOONJWPFdQAlR6t_GhgPXoYLZJn_PkaVib`fdfcelaZie\ TghNekHbnB`q5Zt7`o8bkAdgBfcChZEjVFlR2mT7nRBnPGnNTu\ 9QrENpIKnMHkQEiUBgY3eaAjZCnW8vRErTKnUQkVWgWadXg`YO\ qxkMJmYZsfyqgupgqnhmmhitqnpljlhfhcbd_Z`VVXRRTMNL7C\ NDGPIKRNOSSRUYVWbZYgbPonUmiZleck`mqNjmSgjXefabcfPS\ x``jkiXvBGvXIEPbJRaOU`TW_ } 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
