This unlikely expression creates ; no single parent fractal, but rather a field of scattered debris ; filled with tiny Mandelbrot sets. Two relatively large M-sets ; dominate the field, with today's scene located near the east ; valley of the smaller of the two. ; ; The scattered-debris appearance of the parent fractal is ; reflected in the pattern surrounding the tiny minibrot at the ; center of today's image. This debris is filled with even tinier ; minibrots, etc., etc., all the way to infinity. Unfortunately, ; all these even tinier minibrots are well beyond resolution, at ; least in the present-day Fractint for DOS. ; ; I rated the image at a 7, which is FOTD average. The main ; drawback is the colors, which are brilliant enough, but at least ; in my opinion, do not blend together harmoniously enough for a ; higher rating. ; ; The calculation time of 45 seconds is only a slight delay. This ; delay in finding satisfaction may be avoided however by visiting ; the FOTD web sites. ; ; For maximum convenience, the finished image is available on the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is available at: ; ; ; ; The entire library of images is online at: ; ; ; ; Near total sun and a temperature of 61F 16C made today the most ; spring-like so far this year here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats took to their sunny shelf in the southwest window, ; and with the house heat turned off, stayed there all afternoon. ; ; The humans, FL and I, after agreeing to disagree on a couple ; minor political points, had an uneventful day of doing the ; commercial work and working on fractals. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and it's tough ; having a middle-of-the-road political view in a world of social ; progressives and religious fundamentalists. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Purple_Pilgrimage { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+1.749538453714277/+1.909375078220021/\ 1.462337e+012/1/85/0 params=1/1.5/-1/-0.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=95 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000500950EA0IF0ML1QR2UX3Yb5_h7am9cqKetWgv\ jarsWkpMKgD5Z4AS8FVCKZGPcJXgLdjMlmNroPzrQspcnocjmr\ cjvYgzYZzXdzXyzXyzSxvOxrKwmGwhCwcHrZLmmPhxLcuIZrFU\ pBPm8Kk5Fh2Af9edFgcMiaSk`ZmZdoYkqWqsVeqPVpKKoFD_E6\ LEGPBQT8ZW5h_2qb0n`2kZ4iY6fW8dVAaTC_SDbPFdNGfLIiIJ\ kGLmEMkIOVWLiMPgQQeURcYSD9NHDOLHPPLQSPRWTS_XTWKk_T\ areGpdIncKlcLjbNhaPfaQd`Sb8gwy3st8ppCllGihLedPx7Xp\ HViRUtgQqfRneRldSicSgbTdaTvIblSYDljKieQfaXcXnAXhOV\ 8gPFeQLdRRbSXaTFFIJJKNNMRQOVUQZYStO4kVHpIxnLslOnjR\ jhTefWadZXkgKs65mHDgRLLXCGtSSjT2XzLZiMTtSWjYZa`YAa\ ZEaZHa_Kb_Nb`QCkKGiMJhNNfOQePTdQXbR_aSg`Ke`Nd`Pc`R\ gHcfKaeM`ePZdRYcUXcWVbZUqQLnSNlUOiWPgYRd_Szw3nkGHp\ eKncNlaQj`ShZVfXYdW`bUthRofSkdSfbTsZgp_dn_bk_`i`Zf\ `Xd`V_hd`fb`e`adZacYbbWbaUXcGYbIZbK_aL_aN`aPa`Qb`S\ C5CLGIUROHfINdLScOYaRsNvoQplTjhWdeZZmYZkZYiZXg_We_\ Vc`U_bp`aha``uh_D50HA5OUz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
