However this does not mean that I never come ; upon any. Today's image shows a spiral I stumbled upon in the ; parent fractal that is created when 1/100 part of Z^(-100) is ; mixed with plain Z and C^2 is added. ; ; As expected, the parent is a double-bayed thing. Today's image ; is located in a narrow strip of debris in one of the bays. The ; deep-blue background consists of high-iteration stuff that ; disappears when the maxiter is lowered. ; ; The name "Spiral to Nowhere" indicated that most of these ; fractal spirals keep going forever. The rating of a 7 might be ; overdone, but at least it might persuade an additional fractal- ; ist or two to actually run the rather slow parameter file. ; ; A alternate way to see the image is to view it on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; Friday stayed dry here at Fractal Central, but heavy clouds, a ; brisk northwest wind and temperature of 43F 6C kept a winterish ; chill in the air. The fractal cats had a short spat to decide ; who would get to curl up on the clothes in the laundry basket, ; which were still warm from the drier. Cassie prevailed with one ; very un-ladylike hiss. Nicholas eased his disappointment in the ; most comfortable spot he could find by the radiator. ; ; My day was average. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but I ; think another antiquing trip is being planned for Saturday, so ; do not be surprised if the FOTD is late. Until whenever, take ; care, and one person's myth is another's reality. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Spiral_to_Nowhere { ; time=0:12:58.89-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=sqr float=y center-mag=+0.047083682/+0.049793103/2379/1/90/0 params=1/1/0.01/-100/0/0/0/0 maxiter=4500 inside=0 colors=000ZO`ZPa_Qa_Ra_Sa`Sb`Tb`UbaVbaWcaXcbYcbZcc\ _dc_dc`ddaddbedcemdeemeefmwgffwfghwgmzzrazkghlgzmh\ inhzohlrziohzmfekzciczga_m`Ybzm`YUZzScUcUTOSmMUPUO\ cIMMG0LE0JC0HA0G80F50D69E69E69E78F78F78F87F87F87F9\ 6G96G96G96GA5HA5IB5IB5JC5JC5KD5KD5LD5LE5ME5NF5NF5O\ G5OG5PH5PH5QH5QI5RI5SJ5SJ5TK5TK5UK5UK5UK5UJ6UJ6UJ6\ TJ6TJ6TJ6TJ6SI6SI6SI6RI6RH6RH6QH6QG6QG6QG6PG6PF6PF\ 6OF6OF6OE6NE6NE6ND6MD6MD6LE6LC6KC6KC6JC6IB6HB6GB6F\ A6EA6DA6CA6B96A969968UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUA7CB7CC8CD8\ BE8BF9BG9BH9AIAAJAAKAALB9MB9NB9OC9PC8QC8RD8SD8TD7U\ E7VE7WE7XF6YF6ZF6_G6`G5aG5bH5cH5dH4eI4fI4gI4hJ3iJ3\ jJ3kK3lK2mK2nL2oL2pL2gQB_VJS_SJd_Bih3np2op2op2op2p\ p2pp2pp1qp1qq1qq1rq1rq1rq0sq0sq0sq0tq0tq0tq0tq1sp1\ ro1rn1qn2pm2pl2ol2nk2nj3mi3li3lh3kg3jg4jf4ie4hd4hd\ 4gc5fb5fb5ea5d`5d`6c_6bZ6bY6aY6aX7`W7_W7_V7ZU8YT8Y\ T8XS8WR8WR9VQ9UP9UP9TO9SN } 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
