This usually means things are unusually ; busy here at FC, as is true at the present time. ; ; The name of today's image, Square root of Nothing", refers to ; the power of Z that created the parent fractal. This parent ; fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set with a triangular main bud ; on the northwest side of the main bay and a zigzag filament ; extending out from the bud, and terminating some distance to the ; northwest. A cut-off nest of filament fragments lies some ; distance to the east of the main fractal. Today's scene is ; located in this cut-off nest of filaments. ; ; Due to a shortage of time, I was unable to find the best color- ; ing for the image, but the colors I did find are sufficient to ; show the nature of the scene and allow a rating of a 6. ; ; The calculation time of 3 minutes should cause no one undue dis- ; tress. To make matters even better, the pre-calculated image ; may be viewed at the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Settled and near normal conditions prevailed here at FC on ; Sunday, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 50F 10C. ; Monday brought similar temperatures, but was spoiled by morning ; rain and afternoon clouds. The fractal cats took it all in ; stride. The next FOTD is scheduled in about 32 hours. Who ; knows if it will actually be ready in time? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= SquareRootOfNothin { ; time=0:03:05.16-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=+1.294065337556993/+0.8218935124636804/\ 7.008061e+008/1/70/0 params=1.4142/0/2/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=198 periodicity=6 colors=000pcgmcckc_icWg`Se`Ob`K``KZ`KX`KV`JU_IT_HV\ _AS_FPZJMYNJXRHVVEUZBTb8Sf6Rj8Vk9YkA`kCckDgkEjkGmk\ HpkIskGrjEriDrhBrg9rf8re6rd5rd6df6Sg6Eh61iGFkPTmZf\ ogtqfomejideecaacXZbSVaOR`JN_EJ_AGd8Jh7Ml5Pp4St3Vp\ 2Mm1Dj04nADrKLvUTyc`v`XsYUpVRmSNjQKgNHdKDaHAaE7kC4\ nP6q`7tdGwhOzlXzpdzslzvrzzzuxzvwqwulusjsqiqoirmism\ hslhtlhtkgukgujgujgpgdleahbZd`W`YTXWQTTNPRKUXQZaVc\ f_hkempjruowztoqjhhaa_SVRJOI9H90BJ56T91aD8YIFUNLQS\ SMXZIadEeTlWVmVWmUXmTYmTZmS_mR`mQamQbmPcmOdmObjNag\ N_dNZaMXZMWWMUUMTRLROLQLLOIKNFKLCKKAKM9IO8HQ7FS7EU\ 6DW5BY4A_49Y9DXEHWJLVOPUTTTYXSb`RgdTfeVffXfgYfh_fi\ afjbfkdflffmgfnifokfplfp9OIDEAH43M62Q82UA2ZC2bE2fG\ 2gN6hUAi`EjfIkmMltQmzU2_GEUSQOc`IoaNkbRgcVdcZ`dbYe\ fUejQfnNgrJgvGjpKlkNofQqaTsXWmmUmmSmmQmmOmmMmmKmmI\ mmGgrEfrCerBgrGhrKirPjrTkrYmzanzfozjpzoqzsmzjmzamz\ RmzGmz5mzoszsyzwvzstzorzk } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
