Until then, we ; will have a couple undistinguished but still pleasant fractal ; images to enjoy. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image is a strange thing that came ; about when I combined 3 parts of Z^(-3) with 7 parts of Z^(-1.5) ; and added (1/C). It is best described as a single large ; rectangular bay with rounded corners, surrounded by a cloud of ; satellite minibrots. Today's image is located in the Seahorse ; Valley of one of these satellites on the east side of the main ; bay. ; ; The name "Diamond Festival" is one of those phrases that seems ; to have a deep between-the-lines meaning. Actually, it has no ; inner meaning at all. I chose it simply because, like the old ; song 'Stairway to Heaven' it causes the ears to perk up and the ; mind to exercise itself searching for a deep meaning that does ; not exist. ; ; The rating of a 6 is not too bad considering that we're still ; struggling here at FC to get caught up in the work that backed ; up while the cool air was down. ; ; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes will pass in somewhat less ; than a flash. The full flash may be experienced by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With a high temperature of 95F 35C here at Fractal Central on ; Friday, and more clouds obscuring the sun, I guess one might say ; the heat wave was broken. But the higher humidity made it every ; bit as uncomfortable as Thursday, when the official high was ; 104F 40C. The only good news was the high humidity, which makes ; rain more likely. (We have a pretty serious drought in progress ; here at FC in Central Pennsylvania, and the farmers are praying.) ; ; The fractal cats spent the morning on the cool tile floor in the ; kitchen. When the air conditioning finally came on in the ; afternoon, they shifted to the cool air vent. My day was quite ; busy getting caught up in the work. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if reality is ; not real, then what is it? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Diamond_Festival { ;_time=0:03:46.35-SF5_on_P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip inside=0 center-mag=+1.075320540484659/+0.4639328126579238/\ 4.546794e+012/1 params=3/-3/7/-1.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=3500 logmap=757 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000000KOJE16F42909K86CA3UO9zpGulEqhDmeCiaBe\ ZA`V9XR8TN7PK6LG5GE4CA3872451r_YnYXjWVfUUaTSYRRUPP\ QNOMMNONOPOPRPQUQRXRS`SScTTfUUjVVmWWpXWVyRXzPZzN_z\ LazJczHdzFfzDgzBctC_oDWjDTdEP_ELVFHQFEKGAFG6AH35H9\ 7IE9JJAKOCLTEMYFMUIIRKFONCLP9IR6JT8KU9LWBMXCNZEO_F\ PaHQbIRdKSeLTfM4asGbrScrcdroermRekCTuHQsIPrJOpKNoL\ MmMLlNKkOK_NLONMKJIHGFDDC679A99666333fJxaGqXEjSCcN\ AXJ8RE6K94D4265ga4ZU3QM2HF1877sq5gf4XW2ML1BAh2wd1r\ a1nZ1jW1eS1aP1YM1UJ0PG0LC0H90C6083040T80Q70O60M60K\ 50H40F40D30B3082061041020cqzirzenvbjm_gkXciU_WRX`O\ TPLPMIMJFIGCEC9B9676333jhXZXONMGBB8eNS`KOWHLSFINCF\ IACE79956423pw8jp7di6Zc5TX4NQ3HK2BD1560_pAOZ6CK3pK\ mkKzgUUcUR_cOWcMScJOcGKmDGmBCm88m54m2QmDNmBLmAIm9G\ m8Em7Bz59z47z34z22z1PzQGzH8z8zzzzzvzzrzznzzjzzfzzb\ zzZzzVzzRzzNzzJzzFzzBzz7zz3zz3zz2zz2zz2zz2zz1zz1zz\ 1zz1zz1zz0zz0zz0zz0zzPzzQ } 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 ;
