And yes, there is no mistake. This ; minibrot has valleys on both the east and west sides of its main ; bay, while the main stem on which it used to lie has slipped off ; into some remote dimension. ; ; The image is double-rotated a mere 0.001,0.001 degrees from the ; true Julia orientation, but this tiny rotation makes a world of ; difference. Changing the imag(p2) parameter rotates the grossly ; enlarged Mandelbrot stuff that fills the interior of the almost- ; Seahorse-Valley outer Julia set. ; ; Most of the color effect with this image was achieved by render- ; ing it with the outside set to tdis and the logmap set to -3 ; ; At one time the name "Trail to Nowhere" had some meaning, but ; I have forgotten whatever that was. The rating of a 7 is ; becoming rather boring. It's time for a rating change, in the ; upward direction of course. ; ; The calculation time of 10 minutes is somewhat slow, leaving it ; to the viewer to decide if the result is worth the effort. The ; effort-free way to see the image is to view it on the new FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The old web site at: ; ; ; ; will be taken down within a week. ; ; The only clouds in the sky here at Fractal Central on Monday ; were a few thin, high contrails. The temperature of 61F 16C was ; just what the fractal cats ordered. They spent the entire after- ; noon basking on their window shelf, which is barely large enough ; to accommodate two fairly hefty cats. My day was pleasantly ; uncomplicated. If all goes well, tomorrow may be a repeat. The ; next FOTD image will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and why do serious scientists have such a hard time find- ; ing the ghosts that the ghost-hunters find so easily on those ; 'ghost hunter' TV shows? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Trail_to_Nowhere { ; time=0:10:20.40-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot5 passes=1 center-mag=0/0\ /8.9 params=89.99/0/89.99/45/-1.76505/0/0/0/1.999/0 float=y maxiter=12000 inside=0 outside=tdis logmap=-3 symmetry=none periodicity=6 colors=000pjzlj`ig_edZbaYZ_YWXXSUWMNVLMUILTFMVENYE\ RbEVfEZkEcpEgvEkzEnzDkzDhzCexCbtC_oBXlBVkBSiAQgANe\ ALc9Ia9G_9EZCEVEESNEPSEMVEIXEFaECfE9bE6ZFAVFDQGGPG\ KNHNMHQLHTOIURJUTKUWKVZLV`MVcMVfNWhOWkPWnPXpQXsRXu\ RXpTWkUVgWVbXUYYTU_TP`SLaSJZXIX`HUdFShEPlDNpCLtLkK\ IhPGfTDdXBba8`e6Zi7Jo6Nn5Qn4UmIPzFRxCTu9Ur6WooqLhn\ QakUVhYOeaHbeA_iIo_GlaEicCfeAdg8ai6ZkzK9pNGfPNXRUN\ T`DVgduyZqwUmuPjsJfrEcp9_nmbYga_a`aW_cR_eLZgFYi9Xk\ GvhEriDojBljAik8el7bl5_mF9pCEoAJn8On6TmvVqVWoagrTd\ pLaoCZnpExSOrvr_cjdMci6zN5m`dEmZHmUKmPNmJPmESm9VmV\ 7PPDUKIZENcveevhgvjivmjvolvrnvtouokukhufeubbuYZuUW\ uPTuLQNizsigshdsgasf_seXseVlaPfYJ`UEgPCmLAsH9tJCtK\ FtLItNLtOOtPRuRUuSXuT_uVbuWeuXhuYjqWimVhiUhfTgQiVT\ mWWqXZtYaxZdz_gz_hzZhvYirXimXjiWjeVmdTjaVh_WeYYcWZ\ `U`ZSaWQbUOdRMePKgMIhKGjHEkC7kFClIGmLLmOPnRTnUYoXa\ o_epbjpenqgrqhsrhsshstspb } frm:SliceJulibrot5 {; draws all 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
