And who knows! I might even ; produce some pretty good images. ; ; Today's image is one of the first I found when Fractint gained ; the ability to calculate fractional powers of Z. It is the ; Julia set of the western edge of the main bay of the parent ; fractal -- the Mandeloid that results when the formula Z^(1.5)+C ; is iterated. I use the term 'main bay' with reservations. The ; size of the bay hardly justifies the use of the word 'main'. ; ; I named the image "Strawberry Orchard". There must have been ; some reason I did, but if so, I have totally forgotten it. ; Maybe it's the strawberry coloring of the fractal trees around ; the edges of the certral feature. ; ; These tree-like features are quite fascinating. With a little ; work, they can be made to closely resemble real trees, and the ; result can be quite artistic. I might have a go at creating a ; fractal forest for tomorrow's FOTD. ; ; Today's image rates a 7-1/2, one-half of which is due to the ; coloring, which was half luck and half work. ; ; The minimal calculation time of XXXXXX minutes may be waived by ; surfing to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there. ; ; Heavy clouds hung tough here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, ; while a continuing mist kept things unpleasantly damp. The ; fractal cats' spirits must have been suppressed by the lack of ; sun. They kept to themselves most of the day. My day was busy ; but uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and watch for those alien space craft. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Strawberry_Orchard { ; time=0:00:29.85-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=julzpower center-mag=0.27543/0/1.25 params=-0.186/0/1.5/0 float=y symmetry=xaxis periodicity=0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 colors=000ISPHRPHQPGPPGOPFNPFMPELPEKPDJPDIPCHPCGPB\ FPBEPADPACP9BP9AP8AP8AQ7AR7AS6AT6AUIAVGAWAAWAAYAAZ\ AA`ALaAJcAGdAEfACgA9iA7jA5kA4jA4iA4hA4gA0gA4fA4eA4\ dS4cS4cR4bR3aQ3`P3_P3ZO3YN3XN3WM3WM3VL3UK3TK2SJ2RI\ 2QI2PH2OH2OG2NF2MF2LE2KD2JD1IC1HB1GB1GA1FA1E91D81C\ 81B71A619608508A07F06K05P04U03Z02c01h00l28j17h17f1\ 7d16b16a16_15Y15W15U15T14R14P14N03L03J03I02G02E02C\ 02A01901701500300100L6WH5QE4LA3G72A315zzWzzVzzUzzT\ zvSzrRzmQvhPrfOmdNhbMcaL__KZYJXWIVVHTTGSRFQPEOODMM\ CLKBJJAHH9w_ztYzrWzpUznSvlRtjQrhPpfOndNlbMj`Lh_KfY\ JdXIbVH`TGZSFXQFWPEUNDSMCQKBOIAMH9KF8IE7GC7FB6D95B\ 74963K42U31ce0nf9si8rl8qo8pr8ou8nw8mz7lz7kz7jz7iz7\ hz7gz6fz6ez6dz6cz6bw6au6`q5_m5ZR_OS`NTaLVaKWbIXbGY\ cFZdD_dC`eAae9`dA_dA_cBZcBZbBYbCYaCXaCX`DW`DW`DV_E\ V_EUZEUZFTYFTYFSXGSXGRWGRWHQWHQVHPVIPUIOUIOTJNTJNS\ JMSKMSKLRKKRLKQLJQLJPMIPM } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
