The scene lies in the ; shell of a much larger peanut hole moderately deep in the true ; Seahorse Valley, which is the one in the classic Mandelbrot set. ; ; There is little to be said about the Mandelbrot set that has not ; often been said, so I will say little. But I do think that the ; image rates an honest 8, mostly because scenes in peanut holes ; are not that common. ; ; The calculation time of 3 minutes and 50 seconds is true on the ; P4-2000mhz machine. On the old P-200mhz the image takes 1 hour ; and 5 minutes to finish. And curiously enough, if the 'outside' ; is set to 'tdis', which makes an equally interesting image, the ; calculation takes over 9 hours even on the P4-2000. ; ; But why not forget all these timing hassles and hurry on out to ; the FOTD web site, where the finished image can be seen with no ; calculation required at all. ; ; ; ; Friday began here at Fractal Central with the threat of rain, ; but by noon the dark clouds had cleared away, leaving a blue sky ; speckled with clouds of the altocumulus variety and temperatures ; around 75F 24C. The fractal cats, unconcerned with clouds or ; temperature, kept their eyes on two beat-up stray cats prowling ; the area. When the intruders went away, the resident fractal ; cats congratulated themselves for a job well done. ; ; The next FOTD has a 67-percent chance of appearing in 24 hours. ; The other 33 percent is the chance that FL will be bitten by the ; antiquing bug again. Until next time, take care, and science ; has most all of the answers to some questions and some of the ; answers to most all the questions, but it never will have all ; the answers to all the questions. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-20 { ; time=0:03:50.86-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel periodicity=10 center-mag=-0.7499986559107982/+0.0023037519364358\ /1.847007e+010/1/177.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1500000 inside=0 logmap=85987 symmetry=none colors=000zzmzwczwmzwcyyUxxKvuKtqKrnLpkFniElgBjeCh\ cCfaDd_IbYJ`WKZUKXSKVQKTOKRMKPKKNIKLGKJEFHKEHKEEKD\ CKKBKKBKKBNNVKcLK`2K4OM8KKAHJBEHCUKKPKKKKWFIMEDECF\ DKKAKKCKKVKKPKPJ`MMOJHI9qFCcDEQbeBPTCYxXqUuGMHDJFJ\ pq_OKakZT`RKQK8Fl9G`AGPxx`_aP1To0gw3`k6U_9NOFMQDKL\ CIH0mC3dD6XD9ODwYeZPRvd55dr7Wd9ORzat`RZz44m77`A9OD\ BqBLfDJWEHLFFEuMC`HVd7LSAL2fG9SeXAVRBLLC8BRAEKcccd\ fIyQLtRQpRUlRY9eJ4`l6nXMrfavpccysUrA`ZgQgXNYMJNwwz\ zzzghYXZRMPKzml`XVyF3vWSNgzK`mHUaENP0QI6LFwoqpHIWG\ FIijGaaEVUCNLDrdM4GcXpPOXj94ZC7NEAzuZG`O`H1zz27g69\ UAzzrPZDIPDmTc`OVOKMc5IU9GKDE1Te5OW8KMWIAQHBzzCGGD\ hoASYCMnGIbFzRE7_VzzBdTCzMDc34U870CcjUmZP`NKPyzn_F\ W_78NzB9kDfYkZTbRPUJKLyfFl_E_TENMDRMsAl`BaTBRLDiyC\ alCV`BNPCFeBGWBGMyi8_VBdaIXWGURKZZPccULhZHmcFrhEvm\ CzrDzvCzzBzz`zzUzzPzzUzzZzzczAhzCmzcrzQvzXzzczzmzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
