I'm back, not ; quite as good as new, but good enough! And I bring with me ; another image that fails to earn a rating. ; ; After a three-day break, today's image concludes the elephant ; series with a whole herd of the ponderous pachyderms. The image ; shows a bud in the East Valley of the Z^13+C Mandeloid, ; dutifully guarded by the proper number of elephants, which is ; the exponent of Z, minus one, which equals twelve. ; ; Twelve elephants make a herd, which explains the name "The Whole ; Herd". This many elephants appear to be necessary because the ; elephants have shrunk in size, while the size of their bud has ; increased. ; ; The twelve guardian elephants are lined along the upper rim of ; the 12-lobed bud, every elephant slightly different, ranging ; from the elephant on the far left, with an oversized rump and an ; undersized trunk, to the elephant on the far right with an ; undersized rump and an oversized trunk. The skinny elephants in ; between have less variation, but no two are identical. ; ; The elephants are hard enough to recognize in today's image, ; which is of order 13. In higher order Mandeloids the situation ; grows even worse, until finally the elephants are swallowed up ; in the increasing number of oversized minibrots that fill the ; high-order fractals. ; ; On this sorry note we must finish our interrupted venture into ; the land of elephants. On file there are three unlucky elephant ; fractals that never made it -- elephant tower, 1-1/2 elephants ; and six elephants. They are fairly interesting images, but not ; worth the time required to calculate them. ; ; One day we might venture into the land of seahorses, but ; tomorrow will not be that day. It's time for fractal images ; that are more artistic. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is a little longer than ; optimum, but still well within reason. And the FOTD web sites ; are always there to make life easier. ; ; The finished image is available online at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition rendering is available at: ; ; ; ; All the past FOTD imaged may be seen at: ; ; ; ; though it will take quite a while to see them all. ; ; Today was notably average for the middle of April, with a ; temperature of 70F 21C and partly cloudy skies. The fractal ; cats appear to have given up on the sun, which is now at too ; high an angle to strike their shelf in the southwest window. ; They spent the day chasing each other up and down the long ; fractal hallway, apparently having forgotten that they talked ; with the doctor when they were kittens. ; ; The humans, who both took ill at the same time, wondered where ; the bug came from, since there is no similar illness in the ; area. Regardless, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and do not be deceived by imitations. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Whole_herd { ; time=0:04:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=t center-mag=+0.749\ 5283729/-0.00041232986/5325/1/11.8/0 params=13/0/0\ /0/0/0 float=y maxiter=20000 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000fPMfQMfQMfRMfSNfTNfTNfUNfVOfVOfWOfXOfXOf\ YPfZPf_Pf_Pf`QfaQfaQfbQfcQfdRfdRfeRffRffSfgSfhSfhS\ fiSfjTfkTfkTflTfmUfmUfnUfnUfnUdnWcmXamY`lZZl_Yk`Xk\ aVjbUjcSieRifPhgOhhNgiLgjKfkIflHemGdnFclFbkEajE`hE\ _gD_fDZfDYdDXcCWbCUaCT_BSZBRYBQWAPVAOUANS9MR9KQ8JP\ 8JN8JM7IL7HK7GK6FK6EK8DKACKCBKEAKG9KI8JK7IM6HO5GQ4\ FP3EP2DO2CO2BO2AN29N29M29M28M28L28L28K28K28K28A28A\ 27A27I27I27H27F27A27A27F26F26F26C26D26F16K16K16H16\ K15K15K15K15K15K25K35K45K64K86KA8MCAOECQGDSIEUKFWM\ GYOH_QIaSJcUKeWMgYOi_QkaSh_QdYOaVMYSKVPHRMFOJEKGCH\ DADA8A76644N16M15L15L15K15K15K15K15K15K15K15L15M14\ N14O14P14Q14S14U14U14U14V14W14X13Y13_13a13c13c13d1\ 3e13f13g13h1Am2Am1Km1Km1Km1Um1Um1Um1Um1cm1cm1cm1cm\ 1mm1mm1mm1mm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1zm1z\ m1zm1zm1zm1zm1zmAnmAlmAkmAimAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmA\ zmAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmAzmAz } 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 ;
