The image is a good ; example of a curious fractal phenomenon known as anti-bifurca- ; tion, where instead of converging toward an area of infinite ; iterations and bifurcating as it converges, the fractal flow ; diverges from a point of low iteration and bifurcates as it ; diverges. The low point of divergence appears near the center ; of the frame, appearing as a brilliant star in the deep blue ; surrounding night ; ; But despite its mathematical interest, the image makes only an ; average artistic impression, which holds the rating to an ; average 6. ; ; The calculation time of a speedy 1-3/4 minutes should try the ; patience of no one. In addition, the finished image is posted ; for all it is worth on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With total sunshine and a temperature of 68F 20C, Tuesday was a ; day to be remembered here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats ; remembered it for at least 2 seconds when meal time came. My ; work day was rather busy, but I got FL to help a little. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least it is ; scheduled to be posted then. But I have a funny feeling that a ; big job will come in sooner than expected, so stay tuned to see ; how things work out. Until next time, take care and keep ; waiting for the miracle. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Star_in_the_Night { ; time=0:01:47.83-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=AllNewDivideBrot function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.39282165939/+0.59824259947/342911/1/\ 12.5/0 params=10/10000000000000000.0 passes=1 maxiter=1000 inside=255 logmap=50 periodicity=10 colors=000zwzvyzrxzmwzhuzcszZqzUozPnyKmxFlwGkvGjuH\ itIhsJguJfvMdrObnQ`kS_gUYdWW`YUX_TUaRQcPNeNJgMFiNC\ kO8mP5mQNmRPmSQmTRmUSmVUmWVmXWmYXm_YnY_nW`nUboScoQ\ eoOfoMgpKipIjpGlqEmqCoqApq8qo7pm6ol6nj5mh4lg4ke3jc\ 2ib2h`1g_1gYElSKiOPdKScGUbCWY8WU5VS6TQ7RO9PMAOLBML\ CKKDJKEIJGHJHGIIFIJEHKDHLCHKBJJBLIBMHBOHAQGARFATEA\ VDAWD9YC9ZB9`A9b99c98e88g78h68j68k79l7Al8Bl8Bl9Cl9\ DmAEmAEmBFmBGmCHmCHnDInDJnEKnEKnFLnFMoGNoGNoHOoHPo\ IOqHPoHPnGQmGQkGQjFRiFRhESfESeESdDTbDTaDT`CU_CUYBV\ XBVWBVUAWTAWSAWRDQVGLZIGbLAfO5jQ0nP5hP9cODYOITNMNN\ QIMPKLOMKNNJMPILQIKSHJUGIVFHXEGYDF_DEaCDbBCdABe9Ag\ 47g99hEBiJDjOEjTGkYIlbKmpQtfLmXGfNB_D6T32M45N48O4B\ O4EP4HQ5JQ5MR5PS5SS5VT1aQ5XT8SWCOYFJ`JEcMAeOFfQKgS\ PhUUhWZiYcjZhjXjnWkqThiQeaNbUL_MOWNQSOTPPVLQYIQ_ER\ bBSd7Tf4Ti5Xl6`n7dq8ht9lv9p8PvARtBTrCVpDWnEYlF_jGa\ hIbfJddKfbLh`MiZNkXOmV7GX } 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
