Take my word for it, there is ; nothing in the image. If you doubt this, reset the inside to ; 'numb' and rerun the parameter file. ; ; True, there is nothing in the image, but like in quantum ; physics, where a vacuum can be filled with quite a lot of ; something, the nothing in today's image is filled with invisible ; energies, and an active inside fill will make the energy of the ; nothing visible. The 'bof60' inside fill did the job in today's ; image, where nothing fills the screen. The nothing appears to ; be a skeletal Mandeloid, which fades into even less than nothing ; as it approaches its East Valley. ; ; There is a curious thin broken line extending southeast from ; where the East Valley of the large Mandeloid should be. This ; line probably holds interesting patches of nothing also, but I ; have not yet checked it. ; ; Since it is rather hard to give a rating to nothing, I rated the ; image at a question mark. The name "Nothing In Sight" describes ; the image perfectly. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is brief enough to make ; running the included parameter file worth the effort, especially ; since nothing will be visible when the calculation is completed. ; ; Another way to see nothing is to visit the FOTD web site where ; the finished image is posted. The web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; where you might be surprised at how attractive nothing can be. ; ; Typical midsummer weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Tuesday, which means heat, haze, humidity and a continuing ; threat of showers. The fractal cats gave up activity when the ; temperature reached 88F 31C and spent the day under the cool air ; vent. ; ; My day was busy enough to keep me distracted from the hot ; weather but not so busy as to seem hurried. The next FOTD will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and prepare. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Nothing_In_Sight { ; time=0:04:37.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=NewDivideBrot function=recip passes=1 center-mag=1.3263/4.64017/13.7457/1/-147.5/0 params=-0.5/50 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof60 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000zzzzxxzwwzuvystxqqwnnvklviiufftcdt`asZ_r\ WXrTUqQSpOPoLMnIKmFHlFEkDFjCGiBHhAIg2Jf6Ke9LdAMcBN\ bCOaDP`EQ_FRZGSYHTXIUWJVVKWUKXTKYSKZRKZQK_PK_OK_NK\ _MK`LK`KK`KK`JKaJKaJKaJKaJKbJKbJKbJKbIKcIKcIKcIKcI\ KdIKdIKdIKdIKeIKeHKeHKeHKfHKfHKfHKfHKgHKgHKgHKgHKh\ GKhGKhGKhGKiGKiGKiGKiGKjGKjGKjFKjGKjGKjHKjHKjIKjIK\ jIKjJKjJKjKKjKKjKKjLKjLKjMKjMKjMKjNKjMKjOKjOKjOKjP\ KjPKjQKjQKjRKjRKjRKjSKjSKjTKjTKjTKjUKjUKjVKjVKjVKj\ WKjWKjXKjXKjXKjYKjYKjZKjZKj_Kj_Kj_Kj`Kj`KjaKkaKlaK\ mbKmbKmcKmcKmcKmdKmdKmeKmeKmeKmdKmdKmdKmdKmcKmcKmc\ KmcKmcKmbKmbKmbKmbKmaKmaKmaKmaKmaKm`Km`Km`Km`Km`Km\ _Km_Km_Km_KmZKmZKmZKmZKmZKmYKmYKmYKmYKmXKmXKmXKmXK\ mXKmWKmWKmWKmWKmWKmVKmVKmVKmVKmUKmUKmUKmUJKUJJTJJT\ JITIITIHSIHSIGSIGSIFSIFRIERIERIDRIDSFERIDRKCRMCROB\ QQAQSAQU9QW8PZ8P`7Pb6Pd6Of5Oh4Oj4Ol3WjbLr0Mp1No2On\ 3Pl4Qk5Rj6Ri7Sg8Tf9UeAVdB } 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
