I don't seem able to let go of it and move on. ; The most interesting thing about this particular area is the ; unpredictability of the shape of the many minibrots, if they ; actually are minibrots, that is. ; ; The minibrot at the center of today's image however is an every- ; day Z^2 one, though it is invisible at the magnitude of today's ; image. Most of the action was achieved by rendering the scene ; with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'atan'. ; ; I named the finished product "A Brief Diversion" and rated it at ; a very ordinary 6. The calculation time of just over 3 minutes ; borders on slowness, especially on clunkers. For those with ; clunkers or with over-qualified units that panic when they see ; the letters D.O.S., calculation may be avoided by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A totally cloud-free sky and temperature of 68F 20C made condi- ; tions nearly ideal for late summer here at Fractal Central on ; Saturday. The fractal cats took full advantage of the unbroken ; sunlight falling on their shelf in the southwest window. In my ; department, the re-do job has been redone and things have set- ; tled down to about average. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. ; I give it a 75-percent chance of appearing on schedule. And a ; more careful calculation shows that we actually still have 1188 ; days before the world ends, presumably on 21 December, 2012. ; ; Until next time then, take care, and make fractals while the sun ; shines. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Brief_Diversion { ; time=0:03:09.77-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-0.372291100014543/-0.04221711007309\ /1.171e+008/1/58.5/0 params=1/4/2/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=atan outside=tdis periodicity=0 colors=0009j91q5PgJkZWgaSdcPaeLZgIWiFTkBQm8No5KkBI\ gGFdMD`RAXW8Ua5Qf3NkNZVTeUZlTcsSYlOTfLO`IJUEEOB9I8\ 7JdEPgKUiR_lXdncjzirzpzzzzzuwmunmufSh`YWVbJPg6JlG`\ 8Ke5Oj2So0XYIaGZ_F_ZE`XD`WDaVCbTBbSAcRAcZFceJclNcs\ RcddCYgKSiSMkZGnfApn4ru9nkDkbIhTMeKRbAV_1ZY5aW8eVB\ hTElSHoQKrPNlDRf1Uc6RmcYpWksPypUwmYukathfrfjqcnoar\ n`qk_phZoeYnbXm_WlXVkUVkSTeXR``PWeORiMMnKHrJCvXLdj\ TNw`6kWK`SXQOjFKwEOnDReDUXCYOB`FBc7KeCTgGaiKikOjfQ\ kaTkYVhSQfMMdGHbAD`59UARNEgHIxCozwxdbXQI6BO8JTAQZB\ YcDdiFlnGsjKngNjdReIWqGSqEOqDLqEOrFRsGTsHWtIKuJ`uK\ WoLSjLNeMJ`NFWNARO6MO2HOBQOKZOTgO`oC_d0ZUSWMsTFnQL\ jORfMXbKbZHhVFnRDtNByMGvMLtMPrLUoLYmLbkLfiFgnAhs9_\ p8jn8kl7lj7lh9mgBmgCngEngGnfHofJofKofUnQbnA`lG_kLY\ jQXhWVc`hFWTejLknDqr5vu7ed8PO35YF3_R1`PThOsoPljQee\ Q_`RTWSMRSGMYLabQqhOqnNqiOmePiaPeYQapUYPRULSQ0ZNKM\ MMGLOALb9Qq8VhGQ_OMRVIIbD } 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
