It is far from a boring repeat. The image is actually ; a modest blow-up of a scene in the 'tree' at the eastern edge of ; yesterday's image. ; ; I named the image "What Numbers Do". While studying it, I began ; wondering how mere abstract numbers could possibly create such a ; scene. But that's what makes a fractal a fractal. ; ; The image rates an eight. I gave it this rating because I think ; it deserves such a rating. ; ; The calculation time of just over four minutes may be reduced to ; almost nothing by surfing out to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image posted there. ; ; A near perfect day passed un-noticed here at Fractal Central on ; Monday. The temperature of 82F 28C was made even more enjoyable ; by the lower humidity, while the electronically-intensified blue ; skies and puffy cumulus clouds lent a perfect backdrop to any ; outdoor activity. But my day was spent indoors, and the fractal ; cats seemed more interested in the worn-out catnip rat than the ; sunny window. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and is it an oxymoron to have faith in science? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= What_Numbers_Do { ; time=0:04:16.01-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot passes=1 center-mag=+5.51760082/0/345/1/-90/0 params=89.98/0/89.98/0/-0.77/0/0/0/1.05/1.5 float=y maxiter=750 inside=0 logmap=370 periodicity=10 colors=000zzzmvzUpznjzUqzihzUdzrazUZzm_zI6IJ8JKAKL\ CLMEMNGNOIOPKPQMQRORSQSTSTzUUzZZzcczhhzmmzzzzzzzzz\ zmmmmmcccUUUPRoMDUBIBJHARH9ZG8c32eA5fG7hNAmR0kS6iT\ CkQ9mNCmQFmTImWLmZOmaRrdUre_rgbqddpb`q`YrYUtWQwUNz\ RLzOJzLHzIFzFDzDBzHPzLazOnzHZzAKzF5zF8zKAzQDzWFzaH\ zgKzmMzmOzmZzmZzmdzmazmZzmXzhLzcKzZKzeKzbJz`IzZHza\ OzcVze`zhgzjnzltzfqzanzWkzRhzLezGbzB`zNkzYvzWizVYz\ MOzDFvPIr_KmVRZQYcLdZOgUQjPSlKUoMWlNRfON`PIVQEQK9U\ O5YS1bb0fl0zeDz_PzT`zNlzrzzjwzeszUqzPmzQkzN`zKRzHG\ uF6pJ9kNCkQEpUHuXJz2oz9izFczFpzFjzFdzFZzFTzFOzJSzM\ UzPYzT`zcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzObzLdzJez5szBlzHfzN_zTUz\ ZNzcHz`JzYLzVNzSPzhazaYzWVzQRzJOzDKz1Bz7HzDMzJRzPW\ zVaz`fzfkzf8zkpzgozcnz_mzWlzSkzOjzHlzKjzMhzPfzRdzT\ bzW`zYZzScz_XzXazVezTjzRnzOMzOPzORzOUzJ1zLCzMMzOWz\ PezKyzNtzQozTkzWfzZbzaYzYYz`WzbVzdUztRzoSzjTzfTzaU\ zXVzTVzOWz70zCBzGMzKWzOfz } frm:DivideJulibrot {; draws 4-D slices of DivideBrot Julibrots 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), aa=-(real(p5)-2), bb=(imag(p5)+0.00000000000000000000001), 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=sqr(z)/(z^(aa)+bb)+c |z|< 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
