To view ; it, either run the included parameter file and see the image in ; an astonishing 14 seconds, or switch to arbitrary precision math ; and wait about two hours. The difference in the final image is ; barely noticeable. ; ; There is not much to be said about the image, which lies in a ; second-order spiral in the chaos on the side of a period-10 bud. ; This bud lies at the point where the associated radicals just ; begin to take on an elephant-like appearance. ; ; I rendered the image with an artificially large negative logmap ; to create the flat solid black outer parts. The solid black ; inner area was created by the coloring. ; ; I named the image "On the Eastern Front" because the scene lies ; in one of the easternmost parts of the M-set. I rated it at a 6 ; because the M-set is such an overworked fractal. ; ; Those without 14 seconds to spare may see the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A near ideal spring day prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday, with cloudless skies, and a temperature of 70F 21C. ; Only a rather strong wind kept it from being absolutely ideal. ; The fractal cats enjoyed the outdoor conditions from indoors, ; where they got into a heated tussle behind the books on the hall ; shelves and knocked several books onto the floor. ; ; Like the weather, my day was fair enough. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. It will be the first FOTD of a new month, ; so maybe I'll decide on a single theme for the entire month. I ; have not yet decided. Until next time, take care, and would ; those disappointed with world events please line up on the right. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= OnTheEasternFront { ; time=0:00:14.05-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=+0.3317\ 756417482987/-0.05802874132832721/7.106239e+013/1/\ 34/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=4000 inside=0 logmap=-1686 sound=off mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000000FdzDfzBiz9kz7mzGezOZzXRzdKzq7zlDzhJzd\ Pz_VzW_zSezNkzJqzFvzIrzKozNkzPhzSdzUazWZzZVz`SzcOz\ eLzgIzbGzZFzUEzQDzMCzHBzDAz89z48z07z49z8BzCCzGEzKG\ zOHzSJzWLz_MzcOzzQTzRUzTVzVWzVUzWXzWZzWazWczWfzXhh\ XkfXmdXpcTwbXrbzmbzibzdbz_zzbzzWzzPzzIzz6zzBXzF_Nz\ aNzdMzzLzzKzzKzzJzzIzrHzkHzcHz00000000000L00000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000zmzzmizmzzm_zmzzmRzmzzzGzzzzzKzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzemzimzmmzqmzxmzumzsmzpmznmzkmzimzfmUdmTamS_m\ QXmPVmOTmNTmNTmNTmNQmJOmELmAMm6Jm6Hm6Fc6CZ6AV68R6P\ SEeTMtgwu`hvUUDI0`L8JqncaXwNFpPGiRHbSIWUJPWKEU1FV6\ GWBHWGIXKJXPKYU8iTEcWKYY7lvGnKK8QNIVQS_Q4bRDcSLcT`\ cUhcXLJV`UzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzBzzEzzHz\ zTzzPzzMzzJzzGzzDzz0zz5zzAzzFzzJzzOzzTzzXzzWzzWzzV\ zzVzzUzzUzzhzzczzZzzUzz_zzXczVezSgzQizNkzLmzIozEnz\ GmzIlzKTzaRzaOz`Mz_Kz_IzZ } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
