Despite its somber colors, today's image rates ; another 8, and it was created by the warhorse MandAutoCritInZ ; formula. ; ; The parent fractal came about when I combined 0.25 part of Z^(2) ; with 4 parts of Z^(-5) and added straight (C) on each iteration. ; This parent appears as the rough outline of an oversized Mandel- ; brot set, with large irregular-shaped open areas where Seahorse ; Valley would be expected, and a minibrot at the spot where the ; large main-spike minibrot would be expected. Most of the main ; bay area is filled in with debris, but a small, somewhat distor- ; ted Mandeloid lies in the area of East Valley, with the East ; Valley of this small Mandeloid merging with the East Valley of ; the entire outline. Today's scene lies in the interior of this ; valley. ; ; I named the image "Circular Square" because the brighter area ; surrounding the central minibrot appears to be a square starting ; to change into a circle. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is brief enough to avoid ; all risk of impatience. The FOTD web sites will bring the risk ; even lower, but there is still that parameter file to be run. ; ; To avoid the hassle of setting up and running the included ; parameter file, check in at the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition rendering of the image is online at: ; ; ; ; Around 4500 FOTD back-images are posted at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and steady rain made today a total loss here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature of 64F 18C was pleasant enough ; at least for those who enjoy rain. The fractal cats, who enjoy ; staying dry indoors, had nothing to complain about. ; ; The humans had little to complain about with the weather, since ; we had nothing to do outdoors. The local farmers, who have been ; praying for rain, were equally satisfied. The next FOTD will ; soon be posted, though no specific time is implied. Until then, ; take care, and maybe it would be easier to solve our racial and ; ethnic problems if certain news outlets would stop focusing on ; every remaining unsolved problem and start focusing on the great ; progress that has been made. Accentuating the positive aspects ; of a troublesome situation has great power to blunt the impact ; of the negative aspects. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Circular_Square { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.9314351868225982/-0.0025768898778729\ /4.72819e+008/1/-122.5/0 params=0.25/2/4/-5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=124 colors=000GHQFGODFNCELBCJABH9AF88D67B5694573352231\ 1100000000000000000000000000000000500A30F55KFFPPPU\ ccZkkornosqottouwovyorvpotpkqqhoqemqajrdirWczSZnPS\ iMLdNNdNUeO_fOfbPgZPiVPjRMgSJdTHbUE_VCYW9VX7TY4QZ2\ OZ4Na6Nd8NfANiCNkENnGNpNTmTYjZYheKegKbhK`XKlK2cK5U\ H7RH9PNBZPDcSFjVHhXJf_LdaNbdP`fRZg74fBIfEVeHgeKthN\ ukQunTuqWutZuv`urcroeolhlhjielgbodZqaWtZTvWQxUVjW_\ XXdJYh6Zh6Yh6YdET`MOXTJU`FQgAMo5Jv1Lu3Mu5zt6zt8zzA\ zzczzczzhzzmzzzzzzzzzzzz_pP`pQYkNVfKSaHQYERVIRSLRP\ ORNRRKURHXRF_RCbR9eR7hSAjTDkUGmVJnWMoXPqYSrYUs4i`J\ PXlIAlH8lH7lG5lF4lF2lE1gE0fD0cD0dD0mD0lC0kC0jC0jC0\ iB0hB0gB0fB0eA0eA0dA0hA0hA0i90k90c90c9Kc8Kc8Kc8Kc8\ Kc7Kc7Km7Km7Km6Km6Km6cm6cm5cm5czKczKczKczKczKczPcz\ PczPczUczUczUczUczUczUczUczUczcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcm\ zcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzc\ mzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcm } 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 ;
