The ; star-like scene lies in the 'East Valley' of the parent fractal ; that appeared as the FOTD for May 30. But it lies much deeper ; in the valley than yesterday's FOTD image, which also lies in ; the same East Valley. ; ; I have no idea where the rating of 7-1/2 came from, but it seems ; about right, so why not go with it. ; ; The name "Mandy Points the Way" is an equal mystery, since ; today's parent fractal hardly resembles the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The calculation time of just over 1-3/4 minutes is brief by any ; standards, though not as brief as the lifetimes of certain sub- ; atomic 'resonance' particles, which exist for such infitesimal ; periods of time that they don't really exist at all. ; ; One thing that surely exists however is the FOTD web site. ; Scientific proof of its existence may be found by going online ; and surfing out to: ; ; ; ; where today's image is posted in finished form. ; ; Midsummer conditions continued here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, with hot but hazy sun, high humidity and a temperature ; of 93F 34C. Early in the day the fractal cats sought the cool- ; ness of the tile floor in the kitchen, and stretched out there ; most all afternoon. FL spent the day puttering in her garden. ; I spent the day watching her putter and offering occasional ; helpful advice. The next FOTD, a moderately deep look into the ; M-set, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; those with sharp tongues often make blunt statements. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= MandyPointsTheWay { ; time=0:01:47.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.1868775575702199/+0.0003973109476461\ /6.54e+007/1/-112.5/0 params=1.01/-1/6000/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=177 periodicity=6 colors=000KBHKBHIAHG9GE7FF8GF8HG8IG8IH9JH9KI9LI9LJ\ 9MJANKAOKAOLAPLAQMBRMBRNBSNBTOBUOCUPCVPCWQCXRBWQCX\ QCYQDZQDZQE_QE`QEaQFaQFbQGcQGcQGdQHeQHfQIfQIgQIhQJ\ iQJiQJjQHmREoQGnQImQKkPMiPOfPQdPSbOU`OWYOYWO_UNaSN\ cQNeNMgLMiJMkHMmELoCLqALs8Ns2Lr6Kp9JnCHlGIjKMhKPfK\ SdKVbKYaKaaKddIgfFjiCmk9pm7onAooCooFopHnqKnqMnrPnr\ RmsUmtWmtZmu`lvclxelzhlzjmzlnznnwpowrowtpwwpwzqwzr\ wzrwzswvswrtwmtwhrrcpnZniUlePj`KhXFfSHdOJbJLaFNcPe\ eZwWTmNNdEHWJJZOLaTNdXOgaQifSljTooVrtXuxYwqTojPhcK\ `XGURCNWIP_NRcTTgYVlbXphZtm`xravdjuSrrPpoNomLmjIlg\ GjeEibBh_9fY7eV4cS2bQ0aN4ZL7XJAVHDSFGQDJOBNL9QJ7TH\ 5WE3ZC1aA5ZB8XCBVCETDHREKPENNFQLGUJGXHH_FIbDIeBJh9\ Kk7Kn5Lq3Lr7MsAMtEMuHNvLNwONxSNyVOzZOzaOzePzhPzlPz\ oPzpSzqczrczscztczuczvczwczxczymzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzm\ zzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
