But today we see it in a new ; light. The view is oriented halfway between the Oblate and ; Rectangular directions, and also rotated one degree from the ; normal. ; ; At this strange angle only part of the M-set can be seen, ; stretched over 50 times in the horizontal direction. In today's ; image I unstretched the Mandelbrot part far enough to leave it ; only about 16 times its natural width. ; ; The remnants of the Mandelbrot aspect of Seahorse Valley are ; found near the center of the frame, colored baby pink, much as a ; newly-born seahorse might be. The rest of the pink stuff is the ; distorted M-set, with the western part of the main bay on the ; right and the eastern part of the large period-2 bud on the ; left. The foreground stuff is lesser-iteration stuff, which I ; inaccurately call Julia stuff, since it is found in all planes, ; including the Mandelbrot. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems about right. I put some extra effort ; into the coloring, though not as much as the image could use. ; ; The name "Seahorse in Distress" refers to the pink Mandelbrot ; part of the image, which, even after some unsquashing, still ; looks quite flattened. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast by any standards. ; The finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; I was a bit relieved when FL arrived back from Havre de Grace ; safe and unharmed just before noon on Monday, though I had to ; listen to a half-hour of tales of the big 2-day wedding festival. ; ; The Monday weather conditions here at FC were near perfect, with ; lots of sun, a temperature of 81F 27C and low humidity. The ; fractal cats must have been worried about FL's absence. When ; they heard her car pull into the driveway, they leaped up and ; ran to the door to meet her. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and listen to the music of the spheres. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SeahorseInDistress { ; time=0:01:42.16-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=1 float=y center-mag=0/0.002/2.9/0.3805/90/0 params=22/89/0/\ 89/-0.75/0/0/0/2/0 maxiter=5000 inside=0 logmap=yes symmetry=none periodicity=6 colors=000AVfAUeAQdAQcAQbAQaBP`CO_DNZEMYGLXIKWKJUM\ ISOGQQGMSEIXCDZA9a75c41e52f62g73h83i93k94lA4mB4nC5\ oD5qD6rE6sF6tG7uH7vH7wK8wN8wQ8wT8wW8xZ8xa8xd8xg8xj\ 8wiCviFuiJthMshQrhTqgXqg_pgboffnfimfmlepketjewjezk\ fwkgukgrkhpkhmkikkjhkjfkkckkalh_mfYodWqaUr_TtXRvTP\ wUPwVPxWPwXQvYSuZUsZWpZYmZ_jZagZce_ec`gaai__kcZzcb\ mcXzc`mcVzcZmcUzcZmcUzcZmcUzcZmcUzcZmcUzcZmcUzeZmg\ UziZmkUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUz\ mZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmmUzmZmrKzqUmrKzrU\ mrKzrZmuKzuZmuKzuZmwKzwZmwKzwUmzPzzUmzPzzcmzPzzcmz\ PzzcmzPzzcmzPzzcmzPzzcmzPzzcmzPzzcmzZmzcmzZmzcmzZm\ zcmzZmzcmzZmzcmzZmzcmzZmzcmz_nzenzezzezzezzezzezze\ zzezzezzezzezzezzezzezzezzezzezzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzz\ hzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmz\ zmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzm\ zzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmz } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
