Today's ; scene, with its unresolved minibrot and well-resolved peanut ; holes, lies in Seahorse Valley. But this valley is not the ; obvious one. It is the Seahorse Valley of the large minibrot at ; -1.75 on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; It makes little difference however. The smaller version has all ; the features of the large 'true' valley, and even a few extra ; things such as filaments thrown in. In fact, today's image is ; located on one of these filaments leading from a bud on the west ; side of the parent valley. ; ; At a depth of +0.00003i, the scene is quite far down into the ; valley. Only the super-high-speed type=mandel algorithm enables ; the image to calculate in an astonishing 35 seconds. I would ; have switched to arbitrary precision math for a slightly better ; rendering, but a test showed that this would have increased the ; calculation time to a very slow 8-1/2 hours, hardly worth the ; slight improvement. ; ; There must be something of worth in the image, or else I would ; never have rated it at a 7-1/2. The greenish-blue background is ; of my creation; the program did the rest. ; ; If the calculation time of 37 seconds is too fast for comfort, ; why not zip out to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the finished image there. ; ; Saturday began with heavy rain here at Fractal Central. By noon ; the steady rain changed to heavy showers, which continued on and ; off into the evening. The temperature hovered around a reason- ; able 70F 21C all day. The fractal cats slept through most of ; the wetness, becoming active only at mealtime. ; ; My day was average -- enough said. Unless something totally un- ; expected happens, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and with an added space 'nowhere' becomes ; 'now here'. (I saw it on a church bulletin board.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-21 { ; time=0:00:37.36-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7685292334674\ 58/+0.00003283923918143/2.372069e+013/1/12.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=100000 bailout=6 inside=0 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000zIizHczHZzKYzNXzQXzZbz_czadzcfzbezbdzbdz\ bczbczmbzaazmaza`za`zm_zm_zmZz`YzmYz`XzmXz`Wz`WzmY\ zYZzW_zV`zmazSczQdzmezNfzMgtLimJjcIkUGlKFmBDo8Cp6A\ q39r18s5Co8FlBIiELfHOcKR`OUXRXUU_RXbO_eLbhIcgJdfKe\ fLfeMgeNhdNidOjcPkbQlbRmaRnaSo`Tp`Uq_Vq_VqZTqYSqXR\ qWQrXOrYNrZMrZKr_Jr`IraHraFrbErcDrcBrdAre9rf8rf6rg\ 5rh4rh3lf7feBacFWbJQ`NL_RKYSJXSIWSHVSGUSFSSERSDQSC\ PSCOSBMTALT9KT8JT7IT6GT5FT4ET3DT3CT5EU6GV7HW9JXAKY\ BMZDO_EP_FR`HSaIUbJWcLXdMZeLadN_ePZeRYeSXfUVfWUfXT\ gZSg`QgaPhcOheNhfLihKijJinJoSQbOTcKVcGXcJ_eMagOciR\ ekTgmWjoZlq`nscpuervgqwhqwiqxjqxkpxlpymqzorzqszstz\ tuzuvzvwzwxzxyzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzTfATd9Sb8S_8SY7RW6R\ U5RS5PT9NUCMVGKWJIXMHYQFZTD_XC`_Aab8bf7ci5dm3ep2fs\ 7cnCaiH_eMX`RVXWTS`QOeOJjMF`HNRDVH9b75jPMsj2Ti6Qi9\ Ojh`lgenfjpforetteyqdtnco } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
