This is because the antiquing ; bug struck on Sunday, and we spent the day browsing an antique ; emporium in Hanover, PA, the city where they make potato chips. ; FL found a water color of a stork nesting on a chimney top, with ; a cathedral tower in the background. She insisted that we must ; have the picture. (Actually it's not a bad picture.) ; ; Today's image however is totally middling. It takes too long to ; finish, and when it is finished, it doesn't quite appear to have ; its act together. I wasted nearly one hour on the coloring and ; ended up with an image that rates an everyday-average 5. The ; name "Filamentary Network" is a description of the image. ; ; The zig-zaggy effect throughout the scene is a bit unusual, ; though not enough to raise the rating above average. ; ; The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set with its main spike ; starting to split apart. Today's image is located in the area ; between the two large bifurcated minibrots. ; ; The wait of 12 minutes while the parameter file runs may be ; avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Sunday and Monday brought partly cloudy skies and a temperature ; of 64F 18C to Fractal Central. The fractal cats, who wish they ; could go outside and play like all the other cats, accepted the ; conditions. For me, Sunday was spent in the antique emporium, ; which is not too bad a way to spend a day, while Monday was an ; average workday. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if, as some claim, mankind needs a spiritual solution ; to its problems and spirits are ghosts, which sensible people ; know are not real, where do we find the spirit that will rescue ; us from our problems? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FilamentaryNetwork { ; time=0:12:02.59-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinalDivideBrot function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.933488464180608/+0.00000478103645664\ /4.287836e+009/1/-21/0 params=0.5/20/0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=255 logmap=764 periodicity=6 colors=000zvMgrLgsLhsKhsJisJitIjtIjtHkuIjtHisHhrHg\ qHgpGcpzcozcnzcmzclzckzckzcjzcizchzcgzcgzchzcizcjz\ ckzcuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccuccu\ c4m44m45m45m46m46m47m47m57m58m58m59m59m5Am5Am5Bm5B\ h5Bh6Cg6Ch6Df6Dh6Ef6Eh6Fe6Fh6Fd7Gh7Gc7Hh7Hb7Ih7Ic7\ Jc7Jc7Jc8Kc8Kc8Lc8Lc8Mc8Mc8Nc8Nc8Oc7Nc8Nc8Nc8Nc8Nc\ 8Nc8Nc8Nc8Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9Nc9NcANcANVANWAN\ WANWANWANWANWBNWBNXBNXBNXBNXBNXBNXBNXBNYCNUChUWhUW\ gUVgUVgUVfUUfUUfUUeUTeUTeUTdUSdUSdUScURcURcURdUQcU\ QdUQdUPdUPdUPeUOdUOeUOeUNeUNdUNdUMcUMbTMaSLaRL_QL_\ PKZOKYNKXMJWLJUKJTJISIIRHIQGHQFHQEHPDGPCGPBGOAFO9F\ O8FN7EN6EN5EO5BN4DN4EM4FM4HM4IL4JL4KL4MK4NK4OK4QJ3\ RJ3SJ3TI3VI3WI3XH3ZH3_H3`G3aG3cG3dF2eF2gF2hE2iE2jE\ 2lD2mD2nD2pC2qC2rC2sB3rB4rB5rBUzBUzBUzBUzBUzBUzBUz\ AUzAUzAUzAUzAUzAUzAUzAUzAUzAUz9Uz9Uz9Uz9Uz9Uz9Uz9U\ z9Uz9Uz9Uz8Uz8Uz8Uz8Uzzzz } frm:FinalDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=(-b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))-c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
