We are in the large period-2 bud, looking east ; toward the valley wall that separates us from the main bay of ; the Mandelbrot set, which from this angle lies a short distance ; behind the screen. ; ; Bits and pieces of seahorse tails are scattered about the scene, ; though most of them must be stretched quite a bit before they ; become recognizable. But search as we may, we would never find ; a Mandelbrot minibrot. They do not exist at this angle. ; ; The name of the image is only a catalog number. The lowly ; rating of a 4 is all I could give an image that is basically a ; space filler. ; ; After yesterday's marathon calculation time, today's 7-second ; time is a blessed relief. And as always, the image is posted ; for instant satisfaction on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds, and a slightly chilly temperature of ; 73F 23C made Monday acceptable for the fractal cats here at ; Fractal Central. They had a bit of excitement when one of the ; local stray cats found and made short work of a baby robin that ; had just fallen out of its nest. Luckily, FL missed the sad ; event. ; ; The next view of Seahorse Valley will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and if I were the Big Guy up there, I ; would never have designed a world where living creatures need ; to kill and eat other living creatures, and then said to man, ; "thou shalt not kill." ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-02 { ; time=0:00:07.43-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=-0.121105/0/\ 1/1/90/0 params=15/90/0/90/-0.75/0/0/0/2/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000NEOLEQKERJDSIDTHDVHCWHDXHEYHFZFKYKOYPQYU\ TYZWYcYXh`XmcXreXvhXzjXufTmcPc_MUXIJTLMQPKVUIZZHbc\ FfhUimcmrmqvuuzxxzzzzwxzpuziqzcnvYkrUhmUehXcc_aZb_\ YeYXgXWVWkIVzHWvGWrFWnFWjEXfDXbDX_CXWBYSBYOAYK9YG9\ YD7a76e17d68dA9dEAcIBcMBcQCbVDbZEbbFafGajGanEcjDdg\ CedAfa9gZ8iW6jT5kQ4lN3mKQaOkRSiTVgUXfVZdWacYcaZe`_\ hZ`jYal3mn9nmEolJpkPqjUriZshctgiufnveswdxxdwiMwV4x\ S8xQBxOExMHxKLxIOyFRyDUyBYy9`y7cy5fLx7Rs9WnAaiBfdD\ l_EqWFG_jL`iPaiTbhYbhachedgjdgnefrffvffuc_t`TsZNrW\ GqT9qR3iMDaINUDXM9fE5oG9pHDqJHrKLrLOsNStOWtP_uRcvS\ fwTjwVnxWryXuyQcmJNbC6SDFYEOcFXiGeoGntKhiOcZScOWcD\ Zc3Wc6Tc8QcBNcDKcGIcIFcLCcN9cQ6cS4cU0z00y00y00y00y\ 00y00x00x00x00x00x00w00w00w00w00zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0\ zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws most slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(p5)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
