Yes, I realize it has ; nothing at all about it that would suggest it is a minibrot in ; the M-set, but this image is not sliced in the Mandelbrot ; direction. It is sliced in what I call the Elliptic direction, ; which is the orientation determined by the real(c) and imag(z) ; axes of the 4-dimensional Julibrot. ; ; Today's image is actually a reworking and re-coloring of a ; similar image that appeared several years ago. The original ; image is very similar. Anyone who cares to go searching for it ; will have a lot of fun before stumbling upon it. ; ; The name "Near Point Zero" refers to the imag(c) value of ; 0.0001, which is the tiny departure from zero necessary to ; produce the image. ; ; The rating of 7.5 includes 1/2 point for the coloring effort, ; even though a good part of the coloring is carried over from the ; original image, which was posted several ears ago. ; ; The calculation time is a fireball 10 seconds, almost as fast as ; the speed of light. If it had been a little faster, it would ; have exceeded the speed of light and finished 10 seconds before ; it was started. ; ; All such troublesome paradoxes may be forgotten however by ; viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds continued here at Fractal Central on Saturday, but ; the overnight rain ended before daybreak. This was not good ; news however, for the rain was replaced by a blustery northwest ; wind, which with a temperature of 61F 16C, dampened the fractal ; cats' enthusiasm. Once again, their complaints were silenced by ; a generous second serving of chunk-light tuna in water. ; ; With all the cat activity, the rest of the day was thankfully ; uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and if it makes you feel good, believe it; ; otherwise don't believe it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Near_Point_Zero { ; time=0:00:10.07-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=multirot-XY-ZW-new function=ident/flip passes=1 center-mag=-1.76526/0/15.9369/0.2252/-90/0 params=90/0/2/0/0/0/0/0.0001 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 logmap=18 periodicity=10 colors=0000DP7LV5Qe8RfASfCTfEUfGUfIVfLWfNXfPYgRYgT\ ZgV_gY`m_bradvcgzejzgmzjozloznpzpqzrrztszvtzwuzxvz\ ywzzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzgzzgzzgzzfzzfzzfzzfzzezzezzezzezzdWt\ dYud`udbvddvectfcsgcrgcqhcoicnicmjclkcjkcilchmcgnc\ encdoccpbbpbaqb_rbZrbYsbXtbVubUubTvbSwbQwbPxbOybNy\ bMwcNvdOtdPseQrfRpfSogTngUlhVkiWjiXhjYgjZfk_dl`cla\ bmb`mc_ndZoeXofWpgVphWqeWqbXr`XrYXsWYsTYtRYtOZuLZu\ J_vG_vE_wB`w9`x6`x4ay5by5by6cy6dy7dy7ey8ey8fy8gy9g\ y9hyAhyAiyBjyBjyCkyCkyClyDmyDmyEnzEnzFozFpzGpzGqzG\ qzHrzHszIszItzJtzJuzKvzKvzKwzLwzLxzMyzMyzNzzNzzNhz\ YRzhAzs9zq9zp8zo8zn7zm7zl7zj6zi6zh5zg5zf5ze8zbAz`C\ zZFzXHzVJzTMzQOzOQzMTzKVzIXzGYzKZzO_zS`zVazZazbbzf\ czidzmezqfzuqzEkzDdzCZzCYzEYzGYzHYzJYzKYzMYzNYzPYz\ QYzSYzTYzVYzWSzPNzJIzDDz7 } frm:multirot-XY-ZW-new {; draws 6 planes and rotations ;when fn1-2=i,f, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=O, 90,0=E, 90,90=J ;when fn1-2=f,i, then p1 0,0=M, 0,90=R, 90,0=P, 90,90=J a=real(p1)*.01745329251994, b=imag(p1)*.01745329251994, z=sin(b)*fn1(real(pixel))+sin(a)*fn2(imag(pixel))+p3, c=cos(b)*real(pixel)+cos(a)*flip(imag(pixel))+p4: z=z^(p2)+c, |z| <= 36 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
