Actually, when I posted the first FOTD ; image, I expected to continue posting fractals for a week or ; two. I guess I under-estimated my interest in fractals. ; ; Today's image shows a grossly bloated part of East Valley of the ; large minibrot on the main stem of the Z^2.000001+C Mandeloid. ; The valley has broadened into a wedge, the bloated edge of which ; is visible in the interior of the outer near-Julia set. ; ; Some fractalists may wonder if I have discovered a way to get ; more magnification out of the standard math routine. Don't get ; your hopes up. These magnified images do little more than shift ; the decimal point and lose resolution at a much lesser magnitude. ; ; There is little or no art in the image, so I gave it no rating. ; Actually, I am currently more interested in finding unusual math- ; ematical fractal things than creating wannabe works of art and ; saying, 'Look Ma, I'm an artist'. ; ; The name "In on Something Big" could refer to the greatly ; enlarged wedge, only a tiny part of which is visible inside the ; Julia shape. The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes is slow ; enough to make the trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; worth the effort. ; ; Cloudy skies interspersed with snow flurries and a temperature ; of freezing made Wednesday less than ideal here at Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats must not have liked it any more than ; the humans. They were quite testy most all day. ; ; My day was rather busy but still under control. FL did get a ; bit annoyed at lunch when I told her I was not the slightest bit ; disappointed with Super-prez. I expected him to do nothing and ; he has done nothing. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and if you expect nothing from your frac- ; tals, you might actually get *something* and be surprised. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_on_SomethingBig { ; time=0:05:46.45-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=t inside=0 center-mag=0/0/8.8/1/90/0 params=89.99996/0/\ 89.99996/0/-1.74999826/4.55e-006/0/0/2.000001/0 float=y maxiter=4200 outside=tdis periodicity=0 colors=000PbnMbnIcnFdnBen8fn5fnBhmGjlLklQmkVnk_pjd\ riisinuhsvhtwdtwauwYuwVuwSvwOvwLwwHwwEwwBxvDxuExtG\ xsHysJyrKyqLypNyoOzoQznRzmTzlUzlVwiTufSsdRqaQo_PlX\ OjVNhSMfQLdNKeKLbLJ`LHZMGXMEVMCTNBRN9G83PN8Vb9XaCZ\ `E`_Gb_IcZLeYNgYPiXRjWUlWWnVYpU_qUas_etdhQXYuikrgh\ offlecjcagbZdaXb_U_ZSXYPVWNSVKPUINSFKRDHQAFP8HRCJT\ FLVINXLPZPQ`SSbVUdYWfaYhd_jg`ljdh`heSlaIpZ9m_Cj`Fg\ aIdbLacOZcRWdUTeXQf_NgbKjjLgeMd`NaWOZSPWNQTIQRENXI\ LbLJhOHnRMjSQfSUbTY_TaWUeSUiOVmLVqHWuDWz7VyAWxDWwF\ XwIXvLYuNYuQYtTZsVZrY_r`_qb`pe`leWpg`tiexkjxjixihx\ hgxgfxfexedxecxdbxcaxb`xa_x`ZzcWx`YvYZtV`rTapQcnNd\ lKfnKjjIggHedGbaE`ZDYjLZWCWrE`H4UI6TJ8TJATKCSKESLG\ SLIRMJRMLRNNQNPQORQOTPPVPQUMPWPPYSO_VOaYNc_NebMgeM\ ihMkjQehU_fYUd`PbZReXSgWUiUVkSWmRYoPZqO_sSTmWNgZHa\ bBWd4Pe5Re5Se5Te5Ve5We5Xf5Zf5_f5`f5bf5cf5df5edAabE\ Z`JWZNTYSQWWNU`KSdHQiEPmB } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws most slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(p5)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
