The ; scene of the image is actually located that far from the origin. ; The parent fractal is a monstrous distorted Mandeloid shaped ; like a figure-eight, with a magnitude of 0.00004, which is as ; small as the program can go. Actually, this parent fractal is ; only the large minibrot on the main spike of its parent Mandel- ; brot set, which is somewhere beyond reach, probably larger than ; infinity. ; ; The elements of the image resemble those of East Valley of the ; M-set, though the location of the image is in the detail on the ; western shore line of the northern lobe of the parent figure- ; eight fractal, which is nowhere near East Valley. ; ; The name "Something for Nothing" refers to the huge size of the ; parent fractal, which I once assumed would allow deeper inzooms. ; Unfortunately, increasing the size of the parent fractal merely ; shifts the decimal point. It does not create the greater preci- ; sion that would make greater magnification possible. ; ; After a few minutes of deep pondering, I rated the image at a ; 7.5, granting myself a 1/2 point bonus. I could rate it no ; higher, as it is really only another scene in the East Valley of ; a minibrot. ; ; The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is true on the P4-2000mhz ; machine. On the ancient but still working 200mhz 80586 unit, ; the image takes 41 minutes to finish. So why not forget the ; time your machine might take to run the included parameter file, ; if it will run the file at all. Hurry to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted, and enjoy instant gratifica- ; tion. ; ; An absolutely perfect spring day (sunny and 84F 29C) here at ; Fractal Central on Thursday was fully enjoyed by all, including ; the fractal cats in particular, who spent the entire afternoon ; watching the world go by. With the real work finished, my day ; was slow, which gave lots of time for pondering fractals among ; other things. FL spent a lot of time pondering ways to improve ; her garden. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if God is unchanging, as He would have to be if He is ; truly eternal, why has He apparently changed his mind about ; performing miracles such as we read about in the scriptures? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SomethingForNothin { ; time=0:07:36.43-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+14554.248291498/+19127.966866476/24444\ /1/97.5/0 params=-7/2/-7/1/-0.72/0/0/0 maxiter=6400 inside=0 logmap=-1200 periodicity=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000766A98DBAGDCIFELHGO\ JIQLKTOMWROYTQ`WScZUhcWmhTrmQvsUzpYzmazieweiuaitYi\ sUhsQgrMfqIepEdoAco7cpA`pCZpEWpGUpIRpKPlNShPUdSW`U\ YXX_TZaPacLccHfcDhm9jzAhzBgzCdzDZVEURFPNGKJKPFPUBU\ ZAZc9ch8hl6mp5rs4vw3yl2r_9fRF_KLQE0K30G40D40A50050\ r_ztbzubzwgzyhzzgzyXzxXzwXzvLkuNjtPitRhsUgrWfqYep_\ doacncbom`neanYazTzvSzrcznQzjPbfOcbNeZMfVLhRKiHlPO\ HcOIgOJjOJmOKpIJyLKvOKsQKpTLmWLjYLg`MebMbeM_hNXjNU\ mNRqLSpMRpMQoNPoNPnNOnONmOMsG9mOMgWZhltehpcemabj__\ gYXcYo9P_8zz7yuLyvQzwUzxYsyNmzDzz3ez5zz7cz8zzAazBz\ zDZzFzzGzzIzzJzzIzzIzzIzzIzzJzzJzzKzzKzzKzzLzzLzzM\ zzMzzMVzNTzNQzOOzOMzO6zoAzjDzfHzbKzZNzVRzRUzNYzJ`z\ FczBazE_zHYzKWzNUzQSzTQzWOzZMzaKzdIzg5zcBzgHzjNznT\ zqjzudztZztTzsOzsIzrCzr7zrBzmEzhHzcLz_OzVRzQhzTczQ\ ZzOUzM5zR4zQ4zP8zSCzVGzXKz_NzaRzdVzfZzibzkeznizpmz\ sqzuuzxxzzxzxxzvxztxzrxzpxznqzIszGuzEwzCxzHxzm } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
