This minibrot lies not very far out on the ; main spike of the parent Mandelbrot set. The scene itself lies ; at a magnitude depth well beyond the point where the minibrots ; have morphed from quadratic to order-67. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for an image that resembles ; some earlier FOTD images too closely. I would have preferred ; something a bit more unique. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll find it. ; ; The name "Presto-a-Change" is nothing more than the imaginary ; 'magic' words that might be invented by some small child. ; ; The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is a little slow for ; maximum happiness. ; ; So to keep happiness at the maximum, view the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; To enter a state of total bliss, view the high-definition ; version at: ; ; ; ; Then reminisce about the fractal days of long ago, by checking ; the original FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Today here at Fractal Central began sunny with a bone-chilling ; temperature of 12F -14C. By midday the strong sun had warmed ; the air to a far more pleasant 36F +2C, but in the afternoon, a ; wind sprang up, a heavy cloud layer moved in and the temperature ; dropped back to freezing, with sleet threatening. The fractal ; cats took things in stride, though they would have preferred ; more sun. The humans had a busy enough day just being human. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. I think things are ; settled enough for me to give assurance that it will appear on ; schedule. Until then, take care, and try to have your beliefs ; straight. Final exams are coming within a century. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Presto-a-Change { ; time=0:02:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=multiexp function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1432.500572893065/+0.02067687382835718\ /9.22211e+007/1/-15/0 params=67/1000 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=294 periodicity=6 colors=000ACRADSAETAFSAGSAHSAIRAJRAKRALRAMQANQAOQA\ PQAQPARPASPATPAUOAVOAWOAXOAYRAZTAZVAZXAZYBZZFZ_JZ_\ NZ`R``VbaZdabg`bicfkhilmmmrpowspzuqzwrzuqztpzsozrn\ zplynjylixjgxhdxfbxd`xbYx`XxZVwXSwVQwTOwRMwPKwNJvL\ HvJFvHDvFBvD9vD8yC8vC8sC8qC8nC8kC8iC8fC8cC8aC8ZB8W\ B8UB8RB8OB8MB8JB8GB8EB8BB88872B86D99FADHBGJCKLDNNE\ RPFURGYTH`VIdXJgZKj`MfaObbQZcSVeURgVNiWOkWOmXPo_Pq\ _QrcQseRtfRsfSreSqfTpeTocUnaUm`Vl`Vk`WjaWiaXj_KiaX\ kddicfhbhgaif`kd_mcZnbZpaYq_XsZWuYVvXUxXVzWUyWUxVU\ wVUwUUvUTuTTuTTtSTsSTrRSrRSqQSpQSpPSoPRnORmORmNRlN\ RkLXlNRkOLjQFiRAiguyeswdrvcqtbosanq`mp_knZjmYimXgm\ Wfmeemccmccmccmccmhhmoomttrxxwzzzrrrpprnnrmmrmmrhi\ rcfrcfwcfwcewcercdmcdhDcdDcbDcamm`mm_mmYmmXmmWmmVm\ mTmmSmmRmmQmmOmmNmmMmmLmmJmmIzzHzzXzzUzzRzzOzzLzzI\ zzqzznzzkzzhzzezzbzz_zzXzzUzzRzzOzzLzzIzzUzzTzzSzz\ RzzQzzPzzOzzNzzNzzMzzLzzK } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
