Things were a bit tough here ; at FC on Wednesday, so I got going to the M-set. ; ; I checked one of the 'perturbed' sets and found a super-spiral ; at the edge of a small period-26 ghost-bud on the southern shore ; line of the main bay of the M-set. A quick bit of fancy color ; work produced today's image. ; ; I named the image "Infinite MegaSpiral". The spiral is a huge ; one, sure to please every fan of fantastic spirals, and it goes ; on down to infinity. ; ; The rating of a 6 is held down by the over-familiarity of the ; Mandelbrot set. The 'perturbed' sets are less familiar, but ; also less pleasing. ; ; The calculation time of 10 seconds is faster than light, which ; means the calculation will finish a few seconds before it begins. ; ; The way to avoid such paradoxes is to view the image already ; calculated on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heat and humidity made things rather unpleasant for both man and ; cats here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. But the weather took ; a sudden turn for the better at 6pm, when a sharp thunder-shower ; moved in and dropped the temperature from the high of 93F 34C to ; a comfortable 75F 24C. And the 1cm of rain was just what FL's ; garden needed. The fractal cats ducked for cover when a sudden ; crack of thunder from a nearby lightning strike shook the house, ; but showed their noses as soon as the all-clear was sounded. ; ; My day was busy enough to keep concern away and slow enough for ; me to find a quick scene in the workhorse Mandelbrot set. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and be aware that, for some reason, the type=mandel formula of ; Fractint actually calculates the square root of the complex ; number that is entered as the parameter. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= InfiniteMegaSpiral { ;_time=0:00:10.09-SF5_on_P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.1941\ 3664/-0.64652523/2666/1/87.5/0 params=0.7598287/\ 0.66929145 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 logmap=24 colors=000U`_U`_U`_U`_U`_U`_U``U_`UZ`UYaUYaUXaUWbU\ VbUVbUUbUTcUScURcURdUQdUPdUOdUOeUNeUMeULfUKfUKfUJf\ UIgUHgUHgTGhSFhREhQDhPDiOCiMBiLAjKAjJ9jI8jH7kG6kF6\ kE5lD4lC3lB3lC4kC5jC6iC7hC8hC9gC9fCAeCBeCCdCDcCEbD\ EbDFaDF`DF_DF_DFZDFYDFXDFXDFWDFVDFUDFUCFVCFVCFWBFW\ BFWBFXAFXAFYAFYAFY9FZ9FZ9F_8F_8F_8F`7F`7F`7Ea7Ea6D\ b6Db6Db5Cc5Cc5Bc5Bc4Ac4Ac49c39c38c38c27c27c26c26c1\ 5c15c14c04c03c03c03c14c15c25c26c26c37c38c48c49c49c\ 5Ac5Ac5Bc6Cc6Cc7Dc7Dc7Ec8Ec8Fc9Gc9Gc9HcAHcAIcAIcBJ\ cBKcCKcCLcCLcDMcDMcDNcEOcEOcFPcFPcFQdGQeGRfHSgHShH\ TiITjIUkIUlJVmJWnKWoMXpOXqQXrSWsUVtWUuYTv_SwaRxcQy\ ePzePzdPzdPzcUzcUzcUzbUzbUzaUzaUzfmzemzemzemzdmzdm\ zcmzcmzcmzbmzbmzamzamzamz`mz`mzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzm\ zzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzz\ uzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuz\ zuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
