When I ; heard this I glanced at the screen and saw today's image -- ; about as dark and gloomy as a fractal can get. To give the ; image a single highlight, I colored the inside of the central ; minibrot a brilliant white, declared it FOTD for Sep 11, and ; named it "Negative Attitude". ; ; The image was created when I mixed Z^3 with 1/2 part of Z^6 and ; added C. The parent fractal is shaped rather like a letter 'V' ; lying on its right side. Today's image is located on the edge ; of a valley on the eastern side of the northern arm of the ; V-shaped main bay. ; ; Other than the unusually somber coloring, the image is a pretty ; ordinary thing. Considering all this, I could rate it no higher ; than a 6. The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is within ; reason, though anyone in a big rush will find it a bit slow. To ; ease all problems I recommend viewing the finished image on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; As for negative attitudes, I have discovered over too many years ; that a good realistic, depressing negative outlook, especially ; in politics, is far more likely to be correct than a feel-good ; but dreamy positive outlook. ; ; Rain was forecast for Thursday here at Fractal Central, but the ; day actually turned into one of the best of the year, with deep ; blue skies, puffy clouds and a temperature of 73F 23C. The ; sunlight in the fractal cats' window was nearly blinding. They ; took turns stretching out, closing their eyes and enjoying it. ; ; My day was close to average. The next FOTD will be posted in a ; near average time of 24 hours. Until then, take care, and those ; with a negative outlook are rarely disappointed. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Negative_Attitude { ; time=0:01:50.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.6752499395090378/+0.446406321396262/\ 926968.8/1/102.5/0 params=0.5/6/1/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=255 logmap=150 periodicity=10 colors=000CEwEDwFCvHCvIBvKBvLAvNAvO9uQ8uR8uS7uT7uU\ 6uU4sU6qT8oS9mRBkQCiPEgOGeNIcMKaLM`KN`JPXIRYHTZGV_\ FX`HZcKaeNchQejTgmWioZkramtdovfnuhmthmsglsflrfkqej\ pdjpdiocinbhnbgmagl`fk`fk_ejZdiZdhYchXcgXbfWafVaeV\ `dU`cT_cTZbSZaRYaRY`QX_PWZPWZOVYNVXNUWMTWLTVLSUKSU\ JRTJQSIQRHPRHPQGOPFPQGOPHOPHOPINOINOJNOJNOKMNKMNLM\ NMLMMLMNLMNLMOKLOKLPKLPKLQJKRJKRJKSIJSIJTIJTIJUHIU\ HIVHIWGHWGHXGHXGHYFGYFGZFG_GHZFGYFGYFFXFFWFFWEEVEE\ UEDUEDTEDSDCSDCRDBQDBQDBPDAOCAOC9NC9MC9MC8LB8KB7KB\ 7JB7IB6IB6HA5GA5GA5FA4EA4E93D93C93C92B92A80B91B92B\ 92B93B94B94B95B95B96B97B97BA8BA8BA9BAABAABABBACBAC\ BADBADBAEBBFBBFBBGBBGBBHBBIBBIBBJBBKBBKBBLBCLBCMBC\ NBCNBCOBCOBCPBCQBCQBCRBCRCBSCBSDBSDBSEBSEBSFASFASG\ ASGASHASHASIASI9SJ9SJ9TK9TK9TL9TL8TM8TM8TN8TN8TO8T\ O8TP7TP7TQ7TQ7TR7UR7US6US6UT6UT6UU6UU6UV6UV5UW5UW5\ UX5UX5UY5UW2TX4UY5UZ7Uzzz } 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
