The only noticeable difference ; between this 'almost' set and the pure M-set lies along the main ; negative spike, which in its depths is infinitely sub-divided. ; ; Today's scene is located on the northern edge of the spread-out ; main stem in the East Valley area of the second sizable minibrot ; beyond the largest minibrot on the main stem. (A better way to ; find the location is to bring the image onto the screen, turn ; off the logmap and do a series of outzooms.) ; ; The image rates an 8.5, with a half point due to the coloring. ; The spider web effect also adds another point or so. ; ; The name "Web of the Spider" has no connection to a radioactive ; comic book character. It refers to the network of spider webs ; radiating from the central minibrot. ; ; The calculation time of 59 seconds is a real bargain for an ; image with a rating of 8-1/2. The image will be completed ; before impatience has a chance to raise its head. ; ; Enjoy fractal peace and contentment without calculation by ; viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And enjoy high-definition peace by viewing the high-definition ; version of the image at: ; ; ; ; And always remember the original FOTD web site, which may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; Today's weather left a lot to be dis-satisfied with here at ; Fractal Central. The heavy clouds and steady rain that ; prevailed always make a less-than-ideal day. The temperature of ; 55F 13C was not too bad however. ; ; The fractal cats, Cassie and Nicholas, spent the day trying to ; ignore the inclement weather. Actually, they did a pretty good ; job of ignoring it. FL and I had a typical day -- not good, not ; bad, filled with minor annoyances and a few satisfactions. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and when crossing the next road, be on the watch for one of ; those hit-and-run fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Web_of_the_Spider { ; time=0:00:59.53 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.940484141971\ 642/+0.00000478778076795/2e+010/1/-107.5/0 float=y params=2.000001/0/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=175 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000A8OA8OA8OA8OA8NA8MA8LA8KA8JA8IA8H98G97G9\ 6G85G74F53E32D21D60FA0JE0NH3QL8UPAYTDaWGd_HhcIlfJo\ hLiiNdjOckOclPcmQcnScpUcsUcvZUxcUzhRzmTHMQNINTEKZA\ Hd6Ej2CUKSE`fQf_akTmpMnmGkiNZYUNN_PP`QR`ST`TU`UW`W\ Y`X_`Y``_b``d`bg`ch`dk`fm`go`hp`fqZhrXkrVmrUorSmpQ\ lmPhhNddLW_JUXITUGSRERODPODKODFNDAGDAGDACDAADAADAA\ CAACAACAACFFKKFCKFCJFCJFCIFCIFCHFCHFCGMBGMBmRBmQBm\ QBmQBmPBmPBmPBmOBmOBzZAzZAzZAzZAzh1zh2zh2zm2zm2zm3\ zr3zr3zr3zm3zm4zm4zm4mm4mm4mm5mc5mc5mc5mO5mO6mO6cO\ 6cO6cO6cO7cO7cO7cO7UOzUOzUOzUOzUOzUOzLOzKOzJOzIOzH\ OzSUzQUzOUzNUzLUzJUzIUzGUzEUzDUzBUz9Uz8Uz6Uz5Uz7Uz\ 9UzBUzDUzFUzHUzJUzLUzOUzQUzSUzUUzWTzYTv_SraSmcSheS\ cgSZiSUkSPmRJoRKqRLsUMuUNwUOyUOxcMwcLvcKucJtmIsmHr\ mGlzKgzNbzRYzUTzX_zQezKlzDrz7xz1uz4sz6qz8ozAlzDjzF\ hzHfzJdzLazO_zQYzSWzUUzWRzZPz`NzbLzdJzfJzeJzdJzcIz\ bIzaIz`Iz_HzZHzYHzXlzphzq } 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 ;
