It's becoming boring, but ; that's what I've been coming up with lately. The scene lies in ; the East Valley of the cut-off minibrot on the right side of ; yesterday's image. ; ; I named the image "A Good Dry Valley". The name implies that it ; is one of the best dry valleys I have yet found -- unusually ; rich in interesting elements. I give the name 'dry valley' to ; areas of two-way symmetry that look as though they lead to ; minibrots, but die out before getting there. Actually, I am not ; sure that today's dry valley is truly dry. I have taken it to ; the limit of resolution and discovered that it did not yet run ; dry, so a minibrot might indeed lie at its center. One of these ; days I might check deeper with arbitrary math, though it will ; not be today or tomorrow. ; ; The rating of a 7 means I consider the image to be of average ; worth. The calculation time of 5 minutes is barely justified by ; the result. If justice is what you want, go to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and give the world its comeuppance there. ; ; The heat was a bit more reasonable here at Fractal Central on ; Tuesday, when the temperature reached only 88F 31C. But it was ; still enough to keep the fractal cats stretched in the coolest ; place they could find. My day was about average. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, give or take a few. ; Until then, take care, and it would be really simple to save the ; earth. All we would need to do would be bring about a world- ; wide depression. As the economies ground to a halt, and the ; factories shut down, imagine how much fuel we would save and how ; much less carbon dioxide we would put into the atmosphere. If ; we actually cared about the environment as much as the media ; implies, we should be willing to make a few small sacrifices. ; And if we all do the right thing, global warming might actually ; start to slow down in 100 years or so. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Good_Dry_Valley { ; time=0:04:58.66-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=NewDivideBrot function=recip center-mag=-349.3239689251149/+0.0850910315003183/\ 1.129942e+009/1/127.4/0 params=2.5/200 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 logmap=756 periodicity=10 colors=000K2_L3YL4WL5UM6SM6QM7OM8NN9LNAJNAHOBFOCDO\ DBODANFEMHHLJKLLNKMRJOUJQXIS_HUcHWfGXiFYlFZoG`mGbm\ GcmKfmPhoUjqZlscougqwisxkuymwzoxzqyzswzuwzwxzxyzzz\ zXG6YF8ZGA`HCbHEdHGfIIiJKkJMnKOqOQtPSxZUzcWzhYzmVz\ qTztRzzPzzOzzNzvMzsLzrKzqJvqJrhGm`DhTBcK8ZC5U43Z64\ c74c84c94cA4cB4cC4cD4cE5cF5cG5cH5cI5cJ5cK5cL5LO6JQ\ 7HS8FU9DXABZB9`C7bC8aD8`E8_F9ZF9YG9XHAWHAWIAVJBUJB\ TKBSLCRLCQMCPNCPNEOSFNXGN`HMeIMiKLfMLdOLbQL`SLZULX\ WLVYLT_LRaLPcLNeLLgLJfKLfKMfJNfJPfIQfIRfHTfHUfGVfG\ WeIUdKScMQcOObQMaSK`UI`WG_YEZ_CYaAYb9aZKdWVgSejPoi\ NniLmhKlhIkgHjgFifEhfCgeBfe9ed8dd6cd5bf8dgAehDfiFg\ jIikKjlNkmPlnRmoTkoVjpWipYgpZfq`eqbdrcbrearf`sh_sj\ YtkXtmWtnVnmQhlMckIYjESiANh6Lf8Je9IcAGbBF`CD_DCZEA\ XF8WG7UH5TI4RJ2QK1PL4NN6LP8JRAHSCFUEDWGBXI9ZK7`M5a\ O3cQ1eS0fT2dU3bU4`V5ZV6XW7VW8TX9RXAPYBNYCLZDJZEHWK\ KTPNRUQOZTLdWJiZGnaK5gK3c } 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
