Unmatched in its extravagance, it is truly an image, ; that speaks for itself. ; ; The parent fractal also must be seen to be believed. The most ; incredible part of this Mandelbrot set parent is that only half ; of it is there. The western half has moved on to a higher ; dimension, and has been replaced by a field of scattered stars ; and planets. ; ; Today's image is located just beyond the large period-5 bud ; on the northwest shore line of the main bay of the parent ; half-M-set, almost exactly on the line where the M-set is ; vanishing. It is located a curious area of chaos in the East ; Valley of a larger minibrot. ; ; There is so much of interest in the image that I failed to find ; a single theme in it that might inspire a name. I finally named ; it "Simply Outstanding", which says it all. ; ; Actually, the colors of the image are a bit too disorganized to ; earn a top rating. The rating of 8-1/2 is high enough however. ; ; The chief drawback is the calculation time of over 22 minutes, ; though this time may be cut to a minute or so by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; But due to the odd hour of this posting, give Paul a chance to ; get it posted on the site. ; ; Heavy clouds and a steady cold rain mixed with a few snowflakes ; left Saturday a day with much to be desired here at Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats were so disgusted that they passed ; most of the day squatted down and sulking. ; ; Except for the better-than-expected fractal, my day was ; uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 8 hours, more or ; less. Until then, take care, and when the going gets tough, get ; tough and get going. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Simply_Outstanding { ; time=0:22:25.04-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=AllNewDivideBrot function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.4910502171778077/+0.6046112975128152\ /6.404988e+011/1/27.5/0 params=0.5/31.67 passes=1 maxiter=13500 inside=0 logmap=2675 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000RpgRpgRphSphSpiSpiSpiSpjSpjTpkWDyODyHDzA\ Dz4Ml5Sf5Y`6bW6hQ7nK1tE4sF7sFAsGDsGGsHJsHMrIPrISrJ\ VrJYrKatL`sK`rK`qK`qJ`pJ_oJ_nI_nI_mI_lHZkHZkHZjGZi\ Gbh9`iDZiGYjKWjNUkRTkURlXPl`OmcMmgKnjIlgHidGfaFc_B\ TN7IA9HCBHDDHEFHFHHGJHHKGIMGJOGKQGLSGMUGNUDLVFNVGO\ VHPVIQVJSVLTVMUVNVVOXVPYVRZVS_VTaVUbVVcTXcVWdWWdYW\ eZWe_VfaVfbVfcVgeVgfUhgUhiUijUi_0KoVlkUihTfeScbR`_\ QYXPVUOSROPONMLMJILGFKDCJA9I76H43H29M6ERAJVDP_HUdL\ ZhOzzSizWnzZzzRzjKzdCzX2zY4zZ5m_7c`8Ya9XbBVbCUcESd\ FReGPfIOgJNgKSjUXmcaolbijbdicZhcUgdOedJdeDce8b_D_U\ HYOLWJPTDTR7XP2`N3YQ3WT3TW3RZ3P`3Mc3Kf3Hi3Fk3Dn3Al\ 38o36q6Ao8DmAGkCJjENhHQfJTdLWcN_aPbdSebUhaWl_YoY_r\ WauVOp`BkeAib9m`9mZ8mX7mU7mS6mQ5XO5mMKmRKmRKmRKmSK\ mSKmSLnTLnTcnUmnUmnUmnVmnVmnWmnWmnWmnWmnXmnXmnYznY\ znYznZznZznZzo_zo_zo`zo`zo`zoazoazobzobzobzoczoczo\ dzodzodzoezoezoezpfzpfzpg } frm:AllNewDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=b*(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
