The JimsCompMand formula causes ; fractals of any order to split apart along the negative X axis. ; ; This splitting is especially interesting when applied to ; fractals with an exponent of Z just a little under 2. The ; exponent of Z in today's image is 1.95, and normally the main ; stem of the fractal it draws would have slipped off the screen ; into some imaginary never-land. One might assume that the stem ; would be gone for good, but today's formula causes it to come ; out of hiding and enter the world of the living. ; ; The scene is located near the tip of a filament extending from ; the north branch of Scepter Valley. ; ; I named the image "Great Set of Stems" when I was struck by the ; straightness of the 16 filaments extending from the central ; minibrot, which is not quite perfectly resolved. Because the ; exponent is under 2, exactly 16 intact filaments are not all ; there either, which is only to be expected. ; ; The rating of a 7 is getting to be boring, but I have to rate ; them as I see them. ; ; The calculation time of a fireball 25 seconds will pass in a ; flash, leaving hedonistic satisfaction in its wake. ; ; Equal satisfaction may be found at: ; ; ; ; And don't forget the high-definition version at: ; ; ; ; The classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The temperature rose from a morning low of 7F -14C here at ; Fractal Central to an afternoon high of 23F -5C, while an ; unbroken deck of clouds moved in by 10am and obscured the sun ; for the rest of the day. The cats of the fractal variety spent ; the day seeking comfort, and finally found it on the shelf over ; the radiator in the hallway. ; ; The humans, if that's what we are, spent the day doing human ; things such as paying bills of inhuman size. The next FOTD will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and have critical ; judgement when deciding which superstitions to believe. Not all ; superstitions are based on fact. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Great_Set_of_Stems { ; time=0:00:25.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm float=y formulaname=JimsCompMand mathtolerance=0.05/1 center-mag=-1.319472946444424/+0.1537160272895609/\ 1.388845e+013/1/157.5/0 params=1.95/0/0.05/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=64 periodicity=6 colors=00031C42E54G66I78K8AM9COAEPBGRCITDKVEMWFOUG\ RSIVQKZOSdM`lUhqcntrzzzrrpimfYeUP`KGWA8SADOEIKINGM\ TCQZ8Uc4XYAWUFWPKVKPVGRTETSDVRHXQLZPP`OUbNYdMaiLem\ KirJmvIqzHnvJksKipLfmNcjOaiPZhRWgSUfTWfVXfXYfZZe`_\ ebaecbeecegdeieekfeleckdajc_icYhbWgaVf`Te`Rd_PcZNb\ YLaYK`dGcjDfhEffFfdGfbHf`IfZIfXJfVKfTLfRMfPMfQPgQR\ gRTgRVgRXgSZhS`hTbhTdhTfhSegRdfQcfPbeOaeN`dN`dM_cL\ ZbKYbJXaIWaHV`HV`EYYC_VAaT8cQ6fN4hL2jI0lGC_MOOR_CX\ j0anEZqSXteVqgSniPljMilJgmHO2AV7B`BBgFBmKBtOBzSBoP\ OdN_ULlKJxMLyOMyQNySOyTPyVQyXRyZSz`TzaUzcVzeWzgXzi\ YzjZzkawkculerlgplimmlkmnhnpfnrcntaSVV5Um7Um8UmAUm\ BUmCXmEbmFgmGlmNomUqm_smfumlwmdvmYvzzweKxzzydJzzzz\ _IzzzzUHzzzzPHzzzzKGzzzzEFzzzz9FzzzzDFzzzzNFzzzzXG\ zzzzTHzzzzPJzzzzLKzzzzILzzzzENzzzzAOzzzz6Pzzzz7Wzz\ zzAbzzzzEhzzzzHozzzzKuzMzzNszzzzKizzzzI`zzzzGSzzzz\ EIzzzzCEzzzzBDzzzzBCzzzzA } frm:JimsCompMand {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: z=z^p1*(c^p2)+c, |z| <= p3+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
