This minibrot is a notable improve- ; ment over yesterday's however. The fractal features are better, ; the colors are better, and the rectangles are far more apparent. ; Add all this together and the rating leaps to a 9.5. If I had ; put more work into the colors, the rating might have been a 10. ; ; In yesterday's discussion I said today's image would feature one ; of the rectangles that were barely visible in yesterday's image. ; I calculated the image as promised, but before making it the ; FOTD for today, I discovered today's actual image, which is much ; better. I also discovered that some of the rectangles in this ; area of the Julibrot are not empty inside, but are filled with a ; curious kind of chaos that promises to hold more unexpected ; fractal wonders. Perhaps one of these filled-in rectangles will ; appear as tomorrow's image. ; ; The name "Little Lost Midget" describes the minibrot at the ; center of today's scene. This name actually came to mind a bit ; too easily, which leads me to wonder whether I have already ; given a previous FOTD this same name. ; ; The calculation time of just under 2 minutes is near FOTD ; average. And as always, this time may be saved by surfing to ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the completed image is posted. ; ; The hi-def version is posted at: ; ; ; ; and the original classic web site is available at: ; ; ; ; Monday turned into a repeat of Sunday here at Fractal Central, ; with blue skies, puffy white clouds and a temperature of 70F ; 21C. The only flaw was a wind that was a little too fresh. The ; fractal cats held contention among themselves to a minimum, ; which usually means they approve of the conditions. ; ; The activity in the human department was routine, leaving little ; to comment on. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and some saints claim to have seen heaven. ; Does this prove that some saints are delusional or that heaven ; does in fact exist? Or does it merely show that we don't know? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Little_Lost_Midget { ; time=0:01:49.18-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.743376947951\ 349/-0.00000003690941144/8.351134e+010/1/70/0 params=2.003/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1900 passes=1 inside=0 logmap=304 periodicity=6 colors=00080JB0JC0JF0IH0KK0LM0MP0MS0NU0MW0OY0P`0Qb\ 0Pe0Pg0Pb0M_0JV0GS0EN0BK09F07C04A01500200000000010\ 0200200700B04E3AI7HLDNQJUTO_YUg`_nedthktmqtpstnmtm\ bokVhiMchEgmLjrPnwVqzZtzftzktzprzknzggxdbt_YnXSiUN\ eRI`MCVJ8OG4IB0D907601304906D07J28O5AU8BZBBdEBiHBp\ KBsNBsQBsUEsVHsWKsYLs`OsbSscVseWsh_sjaslesnfsqisrm\ stpstrzhszaszQszBtz0zl4zfIzXYzNtzEtzzzzzzzztksUePU\ _RUTTUNUUHV1rz2nz4mz4kz5hz5fz7ek8ci8`fA_dAYbBW_CTZ\ CSVEQUEOTIQRMQPPQPUSOWSO_SMcTMgTLjTLncLqnLrxLnpJji\ HgcGcYGtSEtLDzEBz8Bz2Az09z07z07oHbhIbcKb_KbVLbPLbK\ NbFNbBOb5Ob1Qs0Qs0Ss0Ss0Ns0Kq0Hb0EZ0BX08V04T01R00O\ 00L00H00G40GB8HKKUSVUQTPQNMPGJPAEN4BN09M06M01K00K0\ 0K00S00_00qzsoz_npJne3qf0ri0tm0tn0tr0tt0twctxctzct\ zmtzmtzmtzmrzwqzwnzwlzwjzzgzzezzczzbzz`zz_zzYzzYzz\ WzzVzzUzzSzzSzzPzzMzzIzzFzzYzzYzzYzznzznzznzztzztz\ ztzztzztzztzztzztzztzztzz } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
