On a whim I checked the ; period-10 radical on the southeast shore line of the main bay. ; This is where the East Valley elephants are just starting to ; take shape, which explains the name "In a Half-Elephant". ; ; Searching deep in a remote spiral, I found today's minibrot. I ; brought the scene to life by rendering it with the outside set ; to 'tdis'. This option raises the calculation time from 5 ; seconds to 7 minutes, but the result is worth the wait. The ; image is something rather new from the M-set. ; ; The rating of a 7 shows that I consider the image a rather ; unexpected one to come from the familiar M-set. The calculation ; time may be cut from 7 minutes to 5 seconds by changing the ; 'outside' from 'tdis' to 'iter', but doing this misses all the ; fun. ; ; The finished image is available as usual on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The heat and humidity returned to Fractal Central on Wednesday, ; when the temperature reached 93F 34C and the fractal cats took ; up residence on the cool tile floor in the kitchen. ; ; My day was very busy but reasonably under control. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be ; a live wire, but don't ever touch one. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_Half-Elephant { ; time=0:06:59.06-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=+0.3292132289218\ 112/-0.0584684638516551/1.284794e+011/1/23.7/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 bailout=9 outside=tdis periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000NwnMwmLwmKwmIvlHvlGvlFvkEvkDvkBujAuj9uj8\ ui7ui6ui5ui6rj7ok8mk9jlAgmBemBbnC_nDYoEVpFSpGQqHNr\ HKrIIsJFsKCtLAuM7uN4vN2vMBpLKjLSeK`_KhVMfWOeWQdWRb\ WTaWV`WXZWYYW_XXaVXcUXdTXfRXhQXjPXkOXjYbighhqnhzsi\ triorjjqjeqk`pkWpkQolLolGnmBnm6mm1miBoeLqbUsZcuWlw\ RmoNmhJm`FmUBmM7mF3m87iGAeODaWGYcJUjKVhKVgKWfKWeLX\ dLXbLXaLY`MY_MZZMZYMZWN_VN_UN`TN`SLUYMXVNZTN`RObPO\ dNPfLPhJQkHRmFRoDSqBSs9Tu7Uz4Tw5Su5Rs5Qp5Pn5Ol5Nj5\ Mg5Le5Kc5Ja5JZ6IX6HV6GT6FQ6EO6DM6CK6BH6AF69D6B54A8\ 59B68E77G76J8cM9cPAURA2UBcXC0_Dc_80`B0az0bF0cz0cJ0\ dz0cN0pP0cRcmUccW0im0c_0ja0cc0le0Ug0mi4Uk8llCUmGko\ KUpOhq`EZ`S_peRvjIttIzzIpuIzzImvIzzIiwIgwIfwIesLeo\ OdlQdhTdeVcaYcZ_cVbbSdbOgbLiaNgaPeaRcaSaaU`aWZaUXa\ ZVaUTabSacQaeOacMaiLacJalHacFapDzrCamAzu8am6zx5NbG\ 9HQ8KR8MS8OT8QT8SU8UV8XW8ZW8`X7bY7dY7fZ7i_7k`7m`7o\ a7qb89w4vc7sb9qaBo`PwnOwn } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
