I'm not surprised. But it takes a ; version of Fractint more capable than the classic DOS version ; or at least a much faster machine to reach it within a day. ; I'll be buying a new computer in a couple months, which will be ; reason to check some of the more windows-friendly versions of ; the program, but this is still a few months in the future. ; Meanwhile, today's image was created with the ancient DOS ; version. ; ; The minibrot in today's image is one of the fanciest midgets of ; the year. I named it "The Glory of Numbers" accordingly. ; ; The parent fractal is little more than a scattering of not- ; necessarily-critical bits and pieces of Mandelbrot stuff, plus ; some near-perfect mini M-sets here and there. Today's scene is ; located in the East Valley of one of these small M-sets. ; ; The rating of an 8 means that I think the image is pretty good ; as minibrot images go. ; ; The calculation of under 2 minutes will use only a small part of ; the time granted to each of us. The trip to the FOTD web site ; is not only magical, it also serves the practical function of ; eliminating the need for calculation. The finished image is ; posted there for instant viewing satisfaction. ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 84F 29C made Wednesday ; a rather muggy day here at Fractal Central. Storm clouds that ; gathered threateningly late in the afternoon passed off harmless- ; ly. The fractal cats slept through most of it, but came to life ; when a stray tomcat wandered through the yard. My day was about ; average, which is normal. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and since no one agreed with my sure way of saving the ; earth, I guess we're not as concerned with global warming as the ; media puts on. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheGloryOfNumbers { ; time=0:01:48.51-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+0.4433279054904762/+0.2777639686142115\ /5.640635e+007/1/-25/0 params=1/2/0.1/8/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000ZVG_TG`SGaQGbPGcOGdMGeLGqZUpYToXSnWRnVQm\ UPlTPlSOkRNjRMiQLiPKhOKgNJgMIfLHeKGGPeLO`PNXTMTYLO\ aKKMzhOzePycRuaSr_UnYVkWWgUYdSZ`Q`YOaUMcRKdNIPhFUa\ GYWGaQGnVYmUXmTWlTVlSUkRTkRSjQRjQQiPPiOOhONhNMgNLg\ MKfLJfLIeKH18G59G8AGBBGECGHDGKEGOFGRGGUHGXIG_JGbKG\ HDDJEEKEELEEMFENFEPFEQGERGFSGFTHFVHFWHFXIFYIFZIG`J\ GaJGbJGcKGdKGZH__IY`IW`IUaJSbJQbJPcJNdKLdKJOOcNPdM\ QeLRfKSgJTiIUkHVmGWoFXqCYsAZuBYvBXwBWxCVyCVzCXzHZz\ M`zRbzWdz`hzekzinzyxzwtzuqzslzqhvobrmZmkVmiSmhPmfO\ mdOmbOm`OlZOkXOiVOgTOfRNdPMbNL_LKXJJVHISFIRDIPCIOG\ HNJHNMGMQGMdLHTLLWLK_KIbKHbEUcFScFRcGQcGPdHOdHNdIM\ dILeJKeJJeKIeKH5f79d8Cb9F`AIZALXBOVCRTDURDXPE_NFbL\ GzzWzzVvzUrzTmwSitSirRioQhmPhjPhgOgeNgcMg`MgZLfXKf\ VJfSJeQIeOHeMGfn8jSMgOJ4D78E8BF9FFAIGBMHCPHCTIDWJE\ _JFbKGezseymergekaedXeYReRLLpGMnGNmGOkGPjGQiGRgGSf\ GSeGTcGUbGV`GW_GXZGYXGZWG } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
