It needs to be seen ; to be appreciated fully. The parent fractal is little more than ; a Mandeloid shaped like a letter V turned on its left side. A ; rudimentary East Valley lies at the apex of the parent, with ; today's image located a short distance east of this tiny valley. ; ; I rated the image at an 8, one full point of which is due to my ; coloring efforts. I worked on the colors for almost an hour ; before I somehow managed to virtually eliminate all traces of ; the color-band boundaries. It is possible to make 256 colors ; look like 16-million, but it takes some doing and not all ; fractals can be colored this smoothly. (I wonder whether the ; same degree of smoothness will appear on differently adjusted ; monitors.) ; ; The name "Deep in the Grove" was the first thing that came to ; mind when I saw the finished product. If it ever meant any- ; thing, the meaning is now totally forgotten. ; ; The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes is about what the image is ; worth. The trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; will be quicker, but the fun of watching the image come to life ; will be lost. ; ; Friday was very pleasant here at Fractal Central, with partly ; cloudy skies and a temperature of 79F 26C. It stayed pleasant ; until 6pm, when a thunder-shower moved in from the west and ; spoiled the evening. The fractal cats were unconcerned through ; all of it. They have no interest in the sun when it's warm, and ; the thunder was not too loud. ; ; My day was average, which is all one could hope for. If no big ; antiquing expedition comes up on Saturday, the next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until next time, whenever that may be, take ; care, speak loudly and carry a small stick. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_in_the_Grove { ; time=0:05:45.00-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinalDivideBrot function=recip center-mag=+0.9954559592171935/+0.0689868608057073\ /1355256/1/16/0 params=1/1/1000/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 logmap=800 periodicity=no colors=000AAzAAyAAyAAxAAyAAx9Ax9Az8Aw8By7Cx7Dv6Ev5\ Fu5Gv4Ht4It3Js3Ks2Ir2Kp2Ko2Ko1Kn2Kn2Km2Kl3Kk3Kj3Ki\ 4Kh4Jg4If5He5Gd5Fc5Eb6Da6C`6B_7AZ79Y78X87W86V85U84\ T77S7AR7DR6FR6IR6LR5NR5QR5TS4VS4YS4`S3bS3eS3hS3jS6\ fWMgaJhfGikDjpAltCnqDloFimGfkIdiJagLZeMWcOTaPR_ROY\ SLWUIUWGSZFP`FNcDKeDIgCGjCDlBBoB8qA6rA4oD5mG6jJ6hL\ 7eO7dR8bU8aW9_Z9ZaAYcA_aEa`Ib_LcZPcYScaWce_cicdmgd\ pj3sM6hV9YcBNlFOiIPfMPcPQ`TRYWRV_SSbTPfTMiUJlUHhQH\ dMHaIHYFHUBHR7HN3HPPHUUEccCrmczzcrmcgc7LK8NN8PQ9RS\ 9TV9VYAQFgyO2ZhLSTO3jw8anDUfIMYJKrKIjLHcMFXthQk`Qb\ TQULQP_UQipPaiOUbNMWzeblWYZNU`ywXmnTafPQYoGugFm`Fe\ TEYoz3XaFLr3_sR3w_r9liBfaC`UYielZzjaUDV4U09Q7DMDII\ Ki8mYUaWU1Tc8RuE8zRDzQIpQeclZcdcazmczmSzmcztczmczm\ hzzmKzmozmbzrizvvzzmzzezzYzz`zzXzzTzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzQzzQzzQzzQzzQzzQzzGzzKzzNzzzzzpzz\ gzzZzzgzzazzWzzTzzxzzozzt } 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 ;
