It takes more than just ; colors to make a great fractal image, so I finally settled for a ; rating of a 6, which is slightly above average. ; ; The generating expression combines 1.5 negative portions of ; Z^(0.6) with 0.25 negative portion of Z^(6.4) and then adds ; (1/C). The parent fractal is an area of scattered Mandelbrot ; sets with different degrees of distortion, all of them surroun- ; ded by clouds of smaller satellite M-sets, all the way to ; infinity. Today's scene lies in a satellite of a satellite very ; deep in what appears to be an East Valley of one of the largest ; M-sets. ; ; The name "Galaxial Attraction" means next to nothing. It's ; probably a carry-over from my wonder years, when I wanted to be ; an astronomer. ; ; Due to the extreme magnitude of the image, the mathtolerance ; entry in the parameter file is absolutely necessary. Without ; it, all kinds of weird things happen. The image actually lies ; beyond the range of perfect resolution, but the resulting break- ; down is hardly noticeable. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a fair price to pay for ; today's image. The real bargain price may be found on the FOTD ; web site, where the already-calculated image may be viewed ; instantly. The web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The temperature rose to 88F 31C in the early afternoon on Monday ; here at Fractal Central. At 4pm however a thunder-storm moved ; in with a gust of wind and a brief downpour of rain. By 5pm the ; temperature was a comfortable 73F 23C. The storm dropped 1.5cm ; or just under 1/2 inch of rain, much to FL's satisfaction, but ; the rain here is still about 25cm or 10 inches below normal for ; the year. The fractal cats braved the storm without dashing for ; cover. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and every fractal should exceed the one before. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= GalaxialAttraction { ;_time=0:01:33.41-SF5_on_P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.4069265102167707/+0.1836836593039934\ /2.5e+013/1/-55/0 params=-1.5/0.6/-0.25/6.4/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1800 inside=255 logmap=394 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000500A00F00K00P00U00Z00c00h00m00r00w00zA\ JAFMAPPPSTSWWW_Z_bbbfefjhjmkmiijfhgbfd_eaXcZTbWQ`T\ N_RM`UMaWMbZMc`LdcLdeLehTchLfjKgmKhoKirVToSYqParMe\ shgnchpZhqUirPisej`Ca2EcDGeOHfZJhiO`nNborzzowzlvzi\ uzfszcqz`ozfnymmwrrrvvvzzzzzzhjrcjrZjsUisPityhxsiw\ niwiivdivZiuUiuPitVNRTQUSSXRU_QXbPZeO`hNckMenLgqai\ 1YiDUiORiZNii2D54HB6KG8NLARQBUVDX`F`eHcjJfoIBUJFXJ\ I_JMbJPdJTgKWjK_lKboKfrN`1McKLfbLBEKEIKHMKKPKNTKQW\ KT_KWcKZfKajKdmKgqK3eJ6eJ9eJCjNFoNIrNLtMOtMQtMTtLW\ tLZtLatKdtKgtnzgkxhiwifvjdtkbsl_rmYpnVooTnpRlqOkrM\ jsAKuBMtCOtDQtDStEUtFWtFXtGZtH`tIbtIdtJftKhtSbUPeb\ MgkWKoVMpUOpTQqaSslUzQWrPYrO_sNasMcsLetKgt7HN9KQAM\ TBPWCRZDUaEWcFYfG`iHblIeoJgrPMJOOMOQPNSSNTUNVXMX_M\ YaM_dLagLcjLdlKfoKhrrmKomOlmRimzfmzcmz`mzYmzVmzSmz\ PmzMmzjmzamzTmzgmzdmzbmz_mzYzzWzzTzzRzzOzzMzzyzzuz\ zrzzozzlzzhzzezzbzz_zzzzZ } 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 ;
