I ; named the image "East-Valley Study" even though its location is ; not quite far enough around to actually lie in East Valley. ; ; As expressed in the name, today's image is basically a study in ; getting smooth coloring with only a measly 256 colors to work ; with. I think I did rather well, and gave myself a whole point ; bonus, which adds up to a rating of an 8. ; ; The magnitude of the image is well into the range of arbitrary ; precision math. This makes the image a rather slow one, taking ; a little over 11 minutes to calculate. As always however, the ; already-calculated image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it may be seen instantly and enjoyed at leisure. ; ; Conditions remained rather brisk for the season here at Fractal ; Central on Wednesday, but the sun was strong and the temperature ; reached a rather pleasant 59F 15C. It was not quite good enough ; for the fractal cats, who gathered on their window shelf and ; wondered why the sun, which was so strong outside, was not reach- ; ing the shelf. When I explained that the angle of the sun was ; too high, they gave me a puzzled look and went to sleep. ; ; My day was satisfactory if not over-productive. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and dream ; onward. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= East-Valley_Study { ; time=0:11:09.54-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=0.36215\ 085944136195661173707/-0.0769690896257914660701519\ 7/3.231519e+021/1/37.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 logmap=565 periodicity=6 colors=000OKzPKzQKzRKySKxTKwUKvVKuWLtXMsXNrXOqWPpX\ PoVRkVShTTgSUfRUeRUdQUcQUaQTdPTfPSgPShPRiORjOQlOQn\ OQpTPqTPmUPiUOeVNaVMYWLWXKU_JUcHUfEUiCUm4UoAUpGUrL\ UsRRtXOv_LwbIxeFzhCzk9zm7zoAzqCzsEzuHzwJzzLzz_zzzz\ zz3Cj2Uo1ct0my3zz3zz3fv3`r3WmRQhPRcNSZMTUKUPJVK`RS\ UKRNERG8R23UA2RI2OQ1LX1Id0Fl0Cs09l6BeCCeF8_HDUIHOJ\ LJLPDMT7NX2O`9PXGPUNPQUQN`QJgQGsN4nQDiSLdVUZTb`Xab\ _`cc_efZfjYhmXipWegQa_LYSGUJBQB6N31Q85TD9WIDZMHaRL\ dWPg`TidWfeSdfPbgL`jIZmEXpBVs5Vr8VoBVmDVjGXgHZdI`a\ JbZKdWKfTKfQIbMG_IGXEHUBHQ8HN4IK1IH0IKGRNFPQEOTDDV\ D0YC2`C3cB5mF6rK8vP9zUAc8Ff7Jd6Ob5Sh1``4WU7SNANFDJ\ 8Gc3HC1IAefMbgT_h_XifUjmSktRnhQpXPsLOuAPsFPqKPoPPn\ UQjYQg`RcdR`gRXkSUnSQrSNuUStWXtXatZet`jtaotcttdxt`\ ynXzhTzbPzXLzRFzLKzDPzFUzHZzJczEhzKmzNrzPvzRzzTzzZ\ zzVzzRzzNzz5zz1zz7zzDzzJzzOzzNzzNzzFzzNzzVzzazzZzz\ WzzUzzRzzOzzMzzRzzWzz`zze } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
