But the image I found in a hurry is worth ; at least a cursory look. ; ; Today's image takes us to the valley around -1.399 on the ; negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. This is the third valley ; beyond Scepter Valley. But just to be different, we check the ; Rectangular aspect of the valley instead of the Mandelbrot ; aspect, and find today's scene. ; ; I named the image "Seeing the Light". The name was inspired by ; the brilliant white vertical stripe in the center of the image, ; which is made even more brilliant by the globules spread along ; it. ; ; Having too little time to work on the coloring, I could give the ; image a rating no higher than a 6. And its calculation time of ; almost 7 minutes is a bit much to ask for the privelige of ; viewing an image that rates a mediocre 6. Luckily, the FOTD web ; site has come to the rescue. ; ; The finshed image is posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; It is posted in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site is at: ; ; ; ; After a light early-morning sprinkle, the sky brightened today ; here at Fractal Central. The sun even made a few brief ; appearances, but it was hardly a sunny day. The fractal cats ; took the temperature of 66F 19C in stride, giving more attention ; to the catnip frog that somehow got pulled out from under the ; book shelves than to the outside weather. ; ; FL and I, never fully agreeing on politics, got into a lunch ; time discussion about the political views of the extreme left ; and right, with nothing at all being settled between us. (These ; mildly heated discussions have been going on for many years, and ; nothing has been settled yet.) One thing firmly settled however ; is that the next FOTD adventure into the 4th dimension will be ; posted in 24 hours, when I will begin discussing the six regular ; polytopes that are possible in four dimensions. Until then, ; take care, and I know that my political views are correct, but ; why can't the rest of the world see it? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seeing_the_Light { ; time=0:06:52.55-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2 passes=1 center-mag=+0/\ -0.02922557903896763/256.4055/4.7933 params=90/90/\ 0/90/-1.399631247361716/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=75000 inside=255 logmap=87 symmetry=yaxis periodicity=6 colors=000HNcHNcHNbHNbHNbHNbHNaHNaHNaHNaHO`HO`HO`H\ O`HP_IP`IQ`IQaIRaJRbJSbJScJTcKTdKUdKUeKVeLVfLWfLWf\ LXgLXgMYhMYiMZjMZkN_lN_mN`nN`oOapOaqObrObsOctPcuPc\ vPcwPcwQdwQdzQdzQdzRezRezRezRezQfzRezRezRezRezRezR\ gzRgzRhzSgzShzShzShzShzShzShzShzThzThzThzThzThzTez\ TezTezUezUezUezUezUezUezUezXezWfzXhzYhzZhz_hz`hiah\ kbhochschwdhwdhwehweiwfiwfjwgjwgkwhkwhlwilwjmmkmml\ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm\ mmmmmmmmmhhmccmZZmUUmPRmKOkFNiANg5Me5Mc5Lc5Lc5Kc5K\ c5Ja6J`6I`6I`6H`6G`6Fa6Ea6Da6Cb69b7Ab79b78a77`76_7\ 5Z74Y73X72W71V90UB0TD0SF0RH0XJ0VL0TM0RN5POANPFLQGJ\ SHHUHFVIDWIBWJ9WK1XL4YM6ZN8_OA`PCaSEbVGcYId`KecMff\ OgcaheYigUjiQkkMlmJmoFnqBos7pv3qw4rx4sy4tz4vz4xz4z\ z4zz4zz4zz4zz5zz5zz5zz5wz5wz5rz5rzArzFrzKrzPqzUqzX\ pz_pzbpzepzhozkoznozqoztozwmzzmzzmzznzzozzpzzqzzrz\ zszztzzuzzvzzwzzxzzyzzzzz } frm:SliceJulibrot2 {; draws most 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), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
