But despite its apparent ; complexity, the images it produces have a boring similarity. ; ; Today's image is typical of the images created by the formula. ; With six parameters and four functions in the formula, the ; variety it produces is almost unlimited, but a little experimen- ; tation will soon reveal the boring sameness that led me to shelf ; the series of formulas. ; ; I named today's image "The Right Angles" because it is filled ; with squares and rectangles. And then I rated it at a 7, but a ; few minutes later I grew quite disappointed and, rather than ; rate it at something like a 4, decided to let it go without a ; rating. ; ; The calculation time of 17 seconds is no cause for disappoint- ; ment however. Neither is the trip to view the completed image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The temperature continued mild here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, with a high reading of 68F 20C, but the almost total ; lack of sun made the fractal cats unhappy. ; ; My day was average, as are most days. And tomorrow is likely to ; be average again. But with any luck, the fractal will be above ; average. Until next time, take care, and if nothing but gravity ; can escape from a black hole, then gravity must move faster than ; light. (Something's wrong here but I'm not sure what.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Right_Angles { ; time=0:00:17.71-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=TowerMinExp04a function=sin/sqr/sinh/\ sinh passes=1 center-mag=1.28568/0/0.0827/1/90/0 params=1.5/0/0.333/0/0.8/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=bof60 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000000IVzb0NNLWNLVNKUNKVNKWNKXNJYNJZNJ_NJ`N\ JaNIbNIcMIcMIcMHcMHcMHcMHcMHcMGcMGcMGcMGcMFcMFcMFc\ MFcNEcOEcOEcPEcPEcQEcREcREcSEcSEdTEeTEfUEgVEhVEiWE\ jWEkXElYEmYEnZEoZEp_Eq_Er`EsaEtaEubEvbFwcGxdHydIze\ JzeKzfLzfMzgNzhOzhPziQziRzjSzkTzkUzlVzlWzmXzmYznZz\ o_zo`zpazpbzqczqdzpezpfzpgzphzpizpjzokzolzomzonzoo\ zopzoqzorzoszotzouzouznvznvznwznwznwznxznyznzznzzn\ zynzxmzwmzvmzumztmzsmzrmzqlzplzolznkzmkzljzljzlizm\ izmhzmhzmgzngznfznfznezoezodzodzoczpczpbzpbzpazqaz\ q`zq`zr`zr_zr_zrZzsZzsYzsYzsXztXztWztWztVzuVyuUyuU\ yuTyvTxvSxvSxvRxwRwwQwwQwwPwxPvxPvxOuwOuxOuyNtzNtz\ NtzNtzMszMszMszMszLrzLrzLrzLrzKrzKqzKqzKqzJqzJpzJp\ zJpzIpzIozIozIozHozHozHnzHnzGnzGnzGmzGmzFmzFmzFlzF\ lzElzElzEkzEkzDkzDkzDkzDjzCjzCjzCjzCizBizBizBizBhz\ AhzAhzAhzBgzBfzCfzCezCezDdzDczDczEbzEazEazF`zF`zF_\ zGZzGZzGYzHXzHXzHWzIWzIVz } frm:TowerMinExp04a {; Jim Muth z=pixel, c=p2+(p3*pixel): z=z^fn1(z^fn2(-z^fn3(z^fn4(-z+p1))))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
