An abbreviated set is what I call one that is not all ; there. As a quick check of today's parent will show, the ; bailout radius of 2 has indeed cut off a good part of it. ; ; But all is not lost, because when a minibrot lies very near the ; cutoff point, as today's minibrot does, all kinds of strange and ; interesting things happen to it. ; ; At this point words fail, so the next step is to run the ; included parameter file (it runs in under 2 minutes) or view the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The name "Abbreviated Midget" describes the scene, while the ; rating of a 6 seems fair enough. ; ; The weather was pretty settled here at Fractal central on ; Wednesday. The partly cloudy skies and temperature of 37F +3C ; were near ideal -- at least the fractal cats thought so. ; ; My day was rather busy however, though not so busy as to prevent ; a quick trip into the abbreviated Mandelbrot set for a short ; look around. FL almost got herself into heavy philosophy during ; lunch, when she asked why I have such a negative attitude toward ; the world in general. Luckily, using my maximum self-control, I ; did not reply. If I had replied, I would still be explaining my ; attitude at the same time the next day. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and is an unpleasant truth better than a feel-good fantasy? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Abbreviated_Midget { ; time=0:01:43.40-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.0167696048453\ 83163/1.00547601886431996/2.609008e+013/1/-65/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 bailout=2 inside=0 outside=tdis logmap=145 periodicity=6 colors=000000KKKCU7K_NFAKGRUNYaTciskjiPorMKlPRHKRE\ KRpJdTaQ5tB8oNAjYA2u9Cu6hK8UJ9FJF0FPPPsVVqFep0oQhb\ gNpcWH`bZijJci_rcz`Kd_mjImBRmWPmZUcg`cr_cqHgXQhffK\ oYIZbRp``pNwsQwrTwqWzzakG`jT_idW1FXDPYOYZZgrLPkUZd\ ag_52l_VedezzzYpnB2JHDSNO_TZh5wm2jJBiSJi_Rihy1ypGv\ gVsPuXSraUofXlkqzfgqkBqwNmsnu_fohXrZYfyhQ37frlJBgS\ Pb`bRaXUdcXgjh6a7HgK_VSdeKp_OndSlhWjlhHidRla`ntnEi\ kYJKdNQjbDZ`Od_ZjPzxSuvUqtXmr`qk_mny_pkdpXbDYeRZgc\ DVUJZ_ObeUfkhZpeapcdp`gpeEibrXaoa`mf_kkVJQXSZY`gjE\ afPfb_kwKEnTRfac3d3o7FjHPfRYb`g7RML`aD9yLMvSYsnWrh\ `qcep7jDEzNLiXSif`wu_ss_prZlq`mK_lTZwdSNFWZY25RJQc\ nWAfbWePcw6hjQlm6JcGSUQ_X_h70rHGqzmpzmJzmSzm_zmhzm\ QzmczmzzmvWms8m7MmUzmVLmeXmPzmZzwgzwxzwtzwlzwnzwoz\ w6lwMewa1woAwpIwpRwp`wZ_wdZwjnzzVzzXzzJzzNzzRzzVzz\ izzczzQzzJzztzzizzJzzMzzVzzezzazzkzzfzzbzzDzzJzzOz\ zUzzzzzszzlzzezzczz`zzgzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
