[7]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20100530224642.2b2fe64e@pop.mindspring.com> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- May 31, 2010 (Rating 7) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's image is a dip into the East Valley area at the bottom ; center of yesterday's fractal. The name of the image, "Is it an ; Elephant?", is a question that may be answered with a resounding ; 'no'. The image holds nothing that even vaguely resembles an ; East Valley elephant. ; ; But this is what makes the image so interesting. Instead of ; spiralling elephant trunks, we have spidery networks strung ; between brilliant balls of light. ; ; The rating of a 7 might be a little conservative considering the ; 20 minutes I devoted to tweaking the basically program-generated ; color palette. ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes can be avoided by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Picture an absolutely perfect day and you'll have an idea of the ; weather here at Fractal Central on Sunday. Well, I actually ; thought the cloudless skies were a bit boring, and the tempera- ; ture of 86F 30C was a bit too warm, but with the low humidity, ; things were still well within the comfort range. ; ; The fractal cats slept through most of the day, getting up only ; to check the outside conditions every hour or so. They sprang ; to total alertness however when they heard a can of tuna being ; opened. ; ; My day, as well as FL's day, was reasonably peaceful, even if ; the smoke from a neighbor's grill did occasionally waft into the ; yard and mix with the smell of the roses. Tomorrow will be much ; the same. The next FOTD, another scene in yesterday's fractal, ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and keep the ; negative matter contained. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Is_it_an_Elephant? { ; time=0:02:05.73-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.9759553350515242/+0.1492507155382438\ /5.38467e+007/1/-151.5/0 params=1.01/-1/6000/0 maxiter=2250 inside=0 logmap=298 periodicity=6 colors=000zzz9kzAgzCbzDZzFUvHPrILmKGhKCcKDZKEUKEPK\ FLKGLKHLHGKDFK9FK5FK8FNBGQEHSHHVKGXNF_QEbTDdUCgUBi\ UAlUAnUEoUIoUMoUQpUUpSYpQ_pOamNchOecPgZPiUUkPZmKco\ Fcq8ds7dt7eu7ev7fw6gx6oy6tz6wy5zx5zw5zu4zs4zq4zo4z\ m3ym3xm3wm3vk5ug7t`9sXBrSDqOFpKHoKJnKJjPKgUKdZLacL\ ZcLWcMShMPmNMrNmvzzzzmwzArOCoPElPGiQIfQKcRM`RN_SPY\ SRXTTVTVUUXSUWORYRU_TW`VZbX`d_ceaegcgiejjhlljonntw\ tzoptghq_cnSYlKSi5SrDNgKIYRDNY8Dd43oJHyYUHqZGzXFnW\ EzUElTDzRCjQCzPBgNAzMAeK9zJ8cH8zG7`F6mD6ZC5YA4X94W\ 86U77S78R79P7AO7BM7CK7DJ7EH7FG7HE6IC6JB6K96L86M66N\ 46O36P16Q06R3AS6DT9HUBKVENVHRWJUXMXYP`ZSc_Uf_Xj`_m\ aapcctehwgmzihzkcrlZqlUqlPplPplPplQolRolSnlTnlTnlU\ msUmzVlzWlzXlzYkzZkz_kzajzcjzejahi_kiYniXqhVthUwhz\ zgzzgzzgzzfzzfKzzzzezzezzezzdCzzzzd9zzzzc6zzzzc7zz\ 8zzzz_BzzzzYEzzzzWzzVzzUzzTLzzzzROzzzzPRzzzzNUzzzz\ LXzzzzJ_zzzzHbzzzzGazzzz9 } 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 ;
