It is also a rather good image, ; well worth the minor task of setting up this letter as a ; parameter file and running it in Fractint. ; ; The parent fractal was created with the FinDivBrot-2 formula. ; It appears as a Mandelbrot set surrounded by rings of rather ; interesting extra stuff, which were created by the Z^(-10) in ; the iterated expression. ; ; Today's scene lies at -6.2 on the negative X-axis, rather deep ; in some of the rather interesting extra stuff. ; ; The rating of a 7 is not bad, especially for an image that comes ; about with almost no effort. I thought of the name "Wretchedly ; Colorful", while I was still working on the colors. Since then ; I have gotten the colors good enough to meet FOTD standards, but ; the name shall remain forever. ; ; Viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; will eliminate a bit of computer work, but it could hardly ; shorten the 8-second wait to see the finished image. ; ; Lots of clouds marred the sky here at Fractal Central on ; Saturday. But the temperature reached 73F 23C and it stayed dry ; all day, so I guess the day ended up a success. ; ; The most mentionable event here at FC on Saturday was when FL ; suggested that we go on Facebook and I disagreed. When she ; replied that everyone is doing it, I told her that this is a ; good reason not to. People get ahead in the world when they do ; what everyone else is NOT doing, not when they join the crowd ; like a flock of sheep. Then she told me that with all the stuff ; I write in my FOTD discussions, we might as well be on Facebook. ; This might be true, but not nearly as many on Facebook have been ; writing daily discussions about fractals for over 13 years. ; ; The fractal cats purred agreement. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and the cognitive scientist tells me that I have a brain. ; The priest tells me that I have a soul. The mystic tells me ; that I have a spirit. But what is the "I" that possesses all ; these things? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= WretchedlyColorful { ; time=0:00:08.30-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip inside=255 center-mag=-6.238184136922903/0/1.7683e+011 float=y params=-10/1000000000/100/0 maxiter=300 logmap=35 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000TelYjqdvxmzzporjfdngVlXLdQJWTH3IFZHD7EOA\ 00CKQENWGQbIThKWoMYuLTtLOsLJrLEqL9qPDpSGpWJoZMobQo\ eTniWnlZniZmfZldZkaZj_Zi`ah`dgaggajfbmeboeOgfA_gNg\ g_ogkwgzskkpozmskjvzmobpizscUuYzuYUuXzuXUuXzuWUuWz\ uWUuWzuVUuVzuVUuUzuUUuUzuUUuTzuTTuJzuTUuSzuSUuSzuS\ UuRUuRUuRUuQUuQUuQUuQUuPUuPUuPUuOUuOUuOUuOUuNUuNUu\ NUuMUuMUuMUuMUuLUuLUuLUuKUuKUuKqzNpzMpzMpzMozMozMo\ zMnzMnzMnzMmzMmzMmzMlzMlzMlzMkzMkzMkzMjzMjzMjzMizM\ izMizMizMhzLhzLhzLgzLgzLgzLfzLfzLfzLezLezLezLdzLdz\ LdzLczLczLczLbzLbzLbzLazLazLazLazL`zK`zK`zKhzJizOi\ zSjzWjz_hzXgzUezSdzPbzNazK`zI2zuAzpIzlQzhXzcdz_lzW\ szSrzVrzXqz_qzapzdyzgtzfpzflzfhzfcze_zeWzeFzhMzfSz\ eZzddzbkzaqz`MzfZzckzawz_xzIszLnzNjzQezShzZdzWazUZ\ zSWzQSzOPzMMzKpz8_zDJzIAzk7zb4zU2zM3zP4zR4zT5zV6zX\ xzuXzi6zZDzSKzL`z9RzE3zE8zGDzIIzJNzLSzNbzEXzOSzYMz\ gHzqCzzHzrMzkRzdWzY8zjzzz } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): 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 ;
