I have shown this rectangle many times ; over the FOTD years, but rarely have I distorted it and tracked ; it to its dissolution. ; ; In today's image I dissolved the rectangle by raising the ; exponent of Z ever so slightly to see what effect the change ; would have on the rectangle. The effect was dramatic. The ; rectangle began to break up and soon totally disappeared. But ; it left its ghost behind, and this ghost was made visible by ; rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof61'. ; ; The rectalngle's ghost appears as the 4-sided area of chaos in ; the throat area of the 'fat man', which inspired the name "The ; Fat Man Dances". The fat man figure is actually the 'inside' ; part of the fractal. ; ; I could give no rating to an image that is 90-percent mathemati- ; cal interest and only 10-percent artistic, so I let it go with a ; rating of a question mark. But it's still a rather interesting ; image that calculates in a measly 43 seconds, at least on my ; machine. ; ; To make things even simpler, the pre-calculated image is or soon ; will be posted for instant gratification on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A cloudy day with a temperature of 39F +4C here at Fractal ; Central on Wednesday kept the fractal cats near the heat. My ; day was close to average. The next FOTD will be posted in ; around 12 hours. Until then, take care, and fractals defy ; Occam's razor. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Fat_Man_Dances { ; time=0:00:43.26-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=julzpower passes=1 center-mag=0.00019/0.0602946/10.81732 params=-1.7435/0/2.00312/0 float=y maxiter=750 bailout=9 inside=fmod periodicity=6 colors=000AMQAojAjgA5iA5fA6cA6`A7YA7WA8UA8SAAFA9QA\ APAAOAAMABQABUCCYECaFCeKGaOKZSOVWSS_WOc_L`bKYdJVfJ\ ThIQjHNlHLnGIpGFrFDtEAvE7xD9zDBxLHvSNt_TrfZpm`lpbi\ rcftecvg`xhYze_ucapack_efYgaWiYUkTSmOQoJUqEZsActBh\ tCmuDruEvuFzvzzvzzwzzwzzwzzxzzxzzyzzzzzz`zzazzb9_c\ 8`d7be7cf6eg5fh4hi3ij3jkFaPQT2RW8RZDSaJSdOSgUTjZTm\ dTpiUsoUvtUyyTtuTpqSlmSgjRcfR_bQV_QRWPNSPIPOELOAHO\ 6ERBHUGJXLM_QObVQe_ThdVkiYnn_pranpbmoblnbjmcilchkc\ gjchb_iVXjNTt8tQ7PT9QWAQZBQ`CQcDQfEQiFQD2EI4GM6HR8\ JV9KZBMcDNgFPhk6icBjWGkOLoQgmLZCPy05eG9_WDVqy7oiEm\ VK1d`9_ZHWXPSVXOTdKRtXbrT_pQXnMVlJSf_AgWEhSHiOKjKN\ 8tAGkEOcHWWKcON`bQxiHK4_P6YT8XYAVbCTlKPgER_XeaUbcS\ `ePZfNWhKUjIS9DuFEpLEkQFgWFb`GZfGUPFBXGGdGLKG40__8\ WYGTWOQVWMTcJRr9WkPTTCDXDG_EIbEKeFMhGOw`_uYYsVXqSV\ pPUnMSlJRw4k8agGXcOT_WOXcKT1_f7XcDVaJS_PQYVNW`LUfI\ SYKCbIHgHM`pLbiMdcNfYOhSP } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
