The image is ; located in left-over debris lying inside a half-morphed minibrot ; on the negative X-axis of the parent M-set, just beyond the ; endless series of ever-smaller sub-buds. ; ; The rating of a 7.5 indicates indecision on my part. Some ; features deserve a 7; others, an 8. So I compromised and gave ; the entire image a rating of an acceptable 7-1/2. ; ; The name "Ring of Attraction" refers to the bluish ring ; surrounding the central quintic minibrot. This ring holds yet ; smaller minibrots, though all of them very closely resemble the ; one in today's image. ; ; The surprisingly fast calculation time of 50 seconds means that ; impatience can be no excuse for failing to view the image ; ; But check the finished image in glorious 640x480 resolution, ; without the need of calculation, at: ; ; ; ; Check a high resolution version that is even more glorious at: ; ; ; ; Or add all the past images together for total glory at: ; ; ; ; But by all means, do not become over or underwhelmed. ; ; Today began sunny. The sunshine was of the self-destruct ; variety however, and by midday the sky had clouded over, with ; occasional spits of drizzle. The temperature of 52F 11C made ; mid-April feel more like March, which is fair enough, since most ; of March felt more like mid-April. The fractal cats ignored the ; weather, but did hiss and growl at a stray cat they spotted ; strolling through the yard. ; ; The humans made it through the day with a minimum of ; distraction, which is pretty hard to do in a world apparently ; gone half crazy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and if the world is already half crazy, ; what we need is someone to finish the job. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ring_of_Attraction { ; time=0:00:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip float=y inside=0 center-mag=-70.23466866797975/+0.0000063422484464/\ 9.607235e+008/1/-127.5/0 params=5/50 maxiter=2000 logmap=74 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000GPpFRqESqDTrCUrBVsAWs9Yq9_o9Un9Xl9Zk9`i9\ bg8df8fd8hc8ja8l_8mZ8mX5mV8mWBmWDmXGmXImYLmYNmZQnZ\ To_Vp_Yq`_r`bsadtagubjvblwcoxcqydtzdvzdwyfwygwyixy\ jxylxxmyxoyxpyxryxsoucesPZr8XqAVpCUpDSoFRnGPnIOmJM\ lLLlMKjLKiKJhJJgIIeHIdGHcFHbEGaDG_CFZBFYBEXAEW9DU8\ DT7CS6CR5BQ4BO3AN2AM19L09K07H45E73BA19D5EH8JKBOOUS\ RUXVUaYcfdce`cdXccTcbPmaMm`Im_EmZAmY6mW1mX3zY5zZ7z\ _8z_Az`CzaDzbFzbHzcIzdKzeMzeNzaQzZSzWUzTWzQZgwpgwp\ fwpfwpexpexqexqdxqdxqcxrcxrbxrbxrbxsaysays`ys`ys`y\ t_yt_ytZytZyuYyuYyuYzuYF`VJaSNbPScMWdK_fHcgEhhBli8\ pj5tk4yk3xl3wl3vl3um3tm3sm3sn3rn3qn3pz3oz3nz3mz3mz\ 2lz2kz2jz2iz2hz2gz2gz2fz2ez2dz2cz2mz2mz2mz1mz1mz1m\ z1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz1mz0mz1mz2mz2mz3mz3mz4\ mz4mz5mz5mz6mz6mz7mz7mz8mz9mz9zzAzzAzzBzzBzzCzzCzz\ DzzDzzEzzEzzFzzFzzGzzHzzHzzIzzIzzJzzJzzKzzKzzLzzLz\ zMzzMzzNzzNzzPzzQzzRzzTzz } 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 ;
