How humiliating! ; But nobody is perfect, and with no time to find a good fractal, ; today's image is the best I could do. ; ; Basically, the image is a smoothly-colored spiral with most of ; the frills left out. Perhaps the most interesting part is the ; series of similarly-shaped holes along the spiral arms. ; ; The parent fractal is little more than a large area of chaos, ; with the remains of one large Mandelbrot set, and minibrots of ; various shapes and sizes scattered throughout. Today's scene is ; located in the remains of the East Valley of the large M-set. ; ; I rated the image at a 4 and named it "Smooth Nothings". The ; calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is brief enough to cause no ; one to be impatient. The trip to view the finished image at: ; ; ; ; is far less work. ; ; After Wednesday's all-day rain, near perfect weather prevailed ; here at Fractal Central on Thursday, with partly cloudy skies, ; low humidity, and a temperature of 84F 29C. The fractal cats ; sincerely approved all of this. ; ; My day was very busy, but otherwise pretty good. The one ; annoyance was a wet spot that I noticed on the third floor ; ceiling when I went up there to find some old files. I guess ; the FC roof needs work. I'll put it on the list of things to be ; done. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and what do the big-time thinkers think about when ; they do their big-time thinking? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Smooth_Nothings { ; time=0:01:21.17-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+1.84163644868959/-0.3001059371524035/\ 7.86298e+010/1/-40/0 params=0.4/2/-1.1/-0.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000ZVZWYXTaUQdRNgPKkMHnJEqHHmJJjLLfMNcOP`PR\ XRTUTWQUYNW_KXaGZcD`e9ag6ci3dg5ee7fc9gaBh_DiYFjWHk\ VJlTLmRNnPPoNRpLTqJVrHXsGYsJXhMWYPVNSUCUT2MgVFuvGr\ tHprHmqIkoIhmJflJcjKaiL_gLXeMVdMSbNQ`NN_OLYOJXNLRN\ MLNNFNO9NP3OR6OS9PTCPUFQWIQXLRYORZRS`USaXTb_TcbTdd\ ZcWdbNjaEp`6nY7lV7jS7hP7fM7dJ7bG7`D7_45Z76ZA7ZD8ZG\ 8ZJ9ZMAZPAZSBYVCYYCY`DYcEYfEYiFYlG`qAYnGWlMUjSShYP\ fcNdiLbonalZ`qJ`uMZrOXpRVnTUlVSjYQh_PfaNcdLafJ_hIY\ kGWmEUyHHoDSfAbX7mO4wDKBBeG_pLaqOcrQesSgtUiuWkvYmw\ _oxaqyetxhtwgtvftuestdqtcosamq_koZimXgkVeiTchR`gQY\ fOXeLVdKWcIXbDYbF_cHcdJgeKkfMohOsjPvlRznTvoTrnUmlU\ hiVcfVZcWU`WRYXRWXSTXSQYTNYTKZUHZUE_VB_V9_PBMIA7JD\ 8KG8LJ8MM8NPANSFOVKPYPU`UccZmfcrihzlmzorzrvzzztnvm\ hrebmbXhVRcSLZOBULDTLFTLHTMJTMLTMNTNPSNRSNTSOVSOXS\ OZSKXQO_SRaUUcWYfY`h_bhZcj`dkadmbencfodfqegrfhsghu\ hiviiwjkFlmEljIigLfdOdaSa } 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 ;
