Actually, such clusters are ; quite common. I found today's scene within 30 seconds of ; starting a search. And there are far more impressive clusters ; of midgets not too far off, some of which will appear in the ; near future as FOTD's. ; ; Today's scene lies along the negative X-axis of the Z^(2.1) ; Mandeloid, in the debris left behind when the single main spike ; splits into two well-separated spikes. The two large minibrots, ; which are surrounded by clusters of infinitely-divided smaller ; minibrots, have been caught in a rather compromising position. ; ; Of course, the minibrots are not perfectly quadratic, but they ; are close enough to be easily recognizable. I have not yet ; checked the smaller clusters of midgets, but I suspect they are ; much the same as the one in the image. ; ; I wasted nearly 5 minutes trying to decide on a rating for the ; image before finally rating it at a question mark. ; ; The name "Minibrot Assembly" is a description. The calculation ; time of a speedy 1-1/3 minutes will cause no suffering. And as ; always, the finished image is available for instant viewing on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The clouds returned to FC on Friday, while the temperature ; hovered around 45F +7C. Early in the day, the fractal cats gave ; up waiting for the sun. They spent most of the time asking for ; the heat to be turned up. With the cost of fuel as high as it, ; they did not get what they wanted. ; ; My day was about average. FL was displeased with my 'negative' ; attitude. But negative or positive, the next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and let me know when ; you find the positive answer. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Minibrot_Assembly { ; time=0:01:21.58-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.22604913/\ -0.00671166/1135/1/100/0 params=2.1/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 logmap=31 colors=000zzzzzzvvvsssppmcqsZrsUssPtsNusNutNutMutM\ utMutMttLstLrtLqtLpuKouKnuKmuKluKkuKjuKiuKhuKgvKfv\ KevLdvMcvNcvOcvPcvQcvRcwScwTcwUcwVcwWcwXcwYcwZcw_c\ x`cxacxbcxccxdcxecxfcxgcxhcyicxjcxkcxlcxmcxmcwmcwm\ cwmcwmcwmcvmcvmcvmcvmcvmcumcumcumcumcumcumctmctmct\ mctmbtmbsmasmasmasm`sm`rm_rm_rmZrmZrmYqmYqmXqmXqmW\ qmWqmVpmVpnVpoUppUpqToqTorSosSotRouRnvQnwQnxPnyPnz\ QoyPnxPmwPlvPkuPkuOjtOisOhrOhqOgqNfpNeoNdnNdmNcmMb\ lMakMajM`iM_iLZhLYgLYfLXeLWeKVdKVcKUbKTaKSaKSbLTcL\ UdLUeLVfMWfMWgMXhMXiMYjNZkNZkN_lN_mO`nOaoOapObpObq\ PcrPdsQdtSewUgtWerYcp_ana_lcYjeWhgUfiSdkQbmO_oMYqK\ WtIUwGSzEQzCOzAMz8Kz6Iz4Fz1Gz3Gz4mz5mz7mz8mz9mzAmz\ CmzDmzEmzGmzHmzImzJmzLmzMmzNmzPozQqzRszSuzUwzVwzWw\ zXwzUwzuwzqwzmwziwzfwzbwzZwzWzzSzzOzzKzzHzzDzz9zz6\ zzDzzJzzQzzWzzbzzhzzozzuzznzzhzzbzzWzzQzzKzzDzz7zz\ 1zz2zz3zz4zz5zzzzpzzpzzpz } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
