Today's image ; lies on the north side of this tiny valley. ; ; I named the image "Pentagram Panic". The orientation of the ; white 'star' at the center is halfway between that of the fabled ; star of Bethlehem of true believers and the occult pentagram of ; the minions of the forces of evil. The ambiguity could cause ; panic in both camps. ; ; The calculation time of a mere 38 seconds is incredibly fast ; for an image that hints at a cosmic struggle between good and ; evil. ; ; But why worry about good and evil, and battles in the sky, when ; the image is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The ample sun here at Fractal Central on Thursday was negated by ; a biting northwest wind, a temperature of freezing and a few ; decorative flurries of snow. The fractal cats forsook their sun- ; shelf early and spent the day by the manmade heat. My day was ; average. ; ; The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. And it probably will be ; posted then. Until next time, take care, and see you soon. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Pentagram_Panic { ; time=0:00:38.18-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=AllNewDivideBrot function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.5239269183467944/+0.0000027981318879\ /1.130243e+012 params=5/-5 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=107 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000K7KK9NKBQKDTHFWEHZBKb8Nh5QrPYzzzzWcz6_z5\ Wz5Sz5Oz5Mz5Nz5Nz5Oz5Od6Pb7Pa7Q_8QZ8RY9RW9SVASUBTS\ BTRCUQCUODVNDVMJSOOPPUNRZKScHUiFVnCXsAYo9Vl8Th8R1D\ 6e7Pa6NZ6LV5JS5HO4EL3CH3AE28A16714302FH_ABO55CzBKz\ ZIz9Hj8Ff7Eb7CY6BU5AQ48L37H35D24812401wrTkgN_XHOMB\ CB5cgIQTCDE6Vp4Sl3Qh3Oe3Ma2KZ2IV2GS2EO1CL1AH18E16A\ 0470230k3mg2id2e`2bY2ZU1WR1SO1PK1LH1HD0EA0Az073z3b\ lzzJ29z18GzzF17z16CzzB15z148zz703z025zz30120010Ixs\ g3ka2eX2_R1UM1OG1IB0C506EOLDMJCLIBJHAIF9GEAlAEgEHc\ JKZOOUSRPXUL`WLaXLbYLbZLc_Ld`LdaLebLfcLfdLgeLhfLhb\ Pj_SlXVnTZoQaqNdsJhtGkvDnxAqyFpqKoizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzSzSVzPYzM_zKbzHez\ EgzChzFizHjzJkzLlzOlzQmzSnzUozXpzZqz`qzbkzVfzN`zFW\ z8Zz7az6dz5gz4jz3mz2oz2IzbRzXZzRfzLnzFjzLgzRdzWaza\ ZzgWzlTzrQzwVzs_zoczlhzhmzdqzavzYzzVuzWpzXkzYfzZbz\ ZgzakzcozfszhgzbXzXMzRBzL } 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
