In fact, the start of breakdown ; actually adds a bit of jagged variety to the iteration bands. ; ; The scene lies in one of the more remote valleys of the parent ; fractal that is created when 2 parts of Z^3 are combined with 3 ; parts of Z^3 before straight C is added on each iteration. ; ; The name "Testing--1--2--3" means absolutely nothing. ; ; The rating of a 6 seems about right. The calculation time of 10 ; minutes is a bit too long for the image however. I suggest ; skipping the calculation task and viewing the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high point of Monday came during lunch, when FL asked which ; species of animal on earth I consider to be in the greatest ; danger of extinction. How could I resist such an opportunity? ; My answer was honest. I told her I consider humanity the most ; endangered species, and I doubt that any fantastic new high-tech ; plan can cope for long with our out-of-control reproduction. ; ; Instead of expending our energy on secondary problems like ; climate change, we should be more concerned with the primary ; problem -- our vast and still growing numbers. If we continue ; having children at the present rate, the number of children will ; soon reach the point of self-destruction. We need a solution ; that is acceptable as well as both moral and effective. Do I ; hear any suggestions? I guess not. ; ; Perfect end-of-summer weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; on Monday. At this time of year perfection means cloudless ; skies, gentle winds and a temperature of 73F 23C. The fractal ; cats celebrated by getting into a tussle behind a shelf of books ; in the hallway and spilling about a dozen books onto the floor. ; Cassie looked the most guilty when the time came to pick up the ; books. ; ; Except for the fractal, my day was occupied by work and discus- ; sion. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and is it better to have a positive outlook or to be ; right? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Testing--1--2--3 { ; time=0:10:18.71-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident inside=0 center-mag=-1.000002297313422/-0.09637534091250027\ /2.43e+013/1/147.7/0 params=2/3/3/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000PMLOONOPONQPNRQNSRMTSMUTLWVLXWLYXKZYK_ZJ\ `_Ja`JbaPZZUVWZSTcOQhKNmHLhIRcJXZKaUKgPLmKMrFNxBNz\ CQzCSyDUwDXvDZtE`rEbpEeoFgmFikFkj_Uf_Uc_U`iUZiUXiU\ ViUTzpQzcOzUMxUKpUIU0FW0DY0B_09`07`0B`0F`0J`2N`4R`\ 6U`9Y`Ba`De`Fi`Hm`Jp_LnYMmXOkVQjURiSTgQVfPXdNYcMYa\ KX`JV_HSYGPXEMWDJUBGTADSFBVJ8YN9`RAcWSf_VicYlg`okc\ rh_sfWsdSsbPt`LtZHtXEuVAuT6uR3uV8rZDoaIleNiiSflXcp\ a`sfZobal_ciWffThcPj_MmMSdQSeTSfXSh`SidTjhTlkTmoTn\ sTpwTqzTrzTszUmzVgzWbzXXzYSzZMz_Hz`Bz`6yZ9tXBoVDkU\ FfSHaQJXOMTNOOLQJJSEHUAGW9IU9KT9LR9NQ9OO9QN8RL8TK8\ UI8WH8XF8ZE8_DBYEEXEGVFJUFMTFORGRQGUOHWNHZMHaKIQTZ\ QRZQPZQNZQKZQKZQKZQKZQKZQKZQKZQKUQ3VQ2X_1Yg0Zf0`f0\ af0bf0cW5hDhaEh_EhYFgXGgXHgXIfXIfWJfWKeWLeWLeWYNXj\ 5Xj8WjBWjEWjGWjJVjMVjOVjRVjUUjWUjZUjaUjcU_bMPaEF`7\ JaCMbGPcKSdOVeSYfW`g`chdfihijllkpoltpmxonymozkpzip\ zgpzepzcpzapz_pzYpzWpzUpz } 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 ;
