It was an ; unfortunate break due to an unexpected rush job that arrived at ; FC. ; ; Yesterday's fractal lack is hopefully made up for by today's ; image, which shows what happens to our strange open rectangle ; when it is viewed in its Parabolic orientation. ; ; The rectangle, or at least three sides of it, lies at the apex ; of the tall brownish central tower. This tower consists ; entirely of inside stuff made visible by the FMOD inside fill. ; When the rectangle is made visible in this way, we can see that ; its effects extend artificially well beyond its assumed bounds. ; ; I named the image "Shot Tower". It reminds me of a historic ; shot tower in Downtown Baltimore that fascinated me when I was ; an impressionable and very curious youngster. ; ; The rating of a 7 might be more than the image is actually ; worth. After all, a fractal rectangle can be stretched only so ; far. But the calculation time of only one brief minute is a ; bargain price for any image. ; ; Perfect weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with ; wispy clouds and a temperature of 82F 28C. The fractal cats had ; an unusually lazy day, sleeping from 10am until after 3pm. The ; humans had a few words to say about politics, but for a change ; we pretty much agreed. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ; ready. To find when that might be, keep checking. Until when- ; ever, take care, and the U.S. says it wants to defend freedom. ; Does this include the freedom of nations that do not wish to be ; 'defended' to expel U.S. military forces from their territory? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Shot_Tower { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=-0.000548662\ 20215659/-0.00012616493069158/655.6835/0.02004/90/0 params=0/90/0/0/-1.7435/0/0.000175/0.073883/2.003/0 float=y maxiter=326 inside=fmod periodicity=6 colors=000UUcVUcVVcWVbWWbXWbXXbXXbXXbKgl7rv8pu9ouA\ ntBmtC03D04E05F06G07H08I09J0AK0BL0CL0DM0EN0FO0GP1H\ Q2IR3JS4KT5LU6MV7NW8OX9PYAQZBR_CS`DTaEUbFVcGWdHXeI\ YfHXgGXhFXiEWjDWkCVlBVlAWmCWmDXnEYnFYoHZoI_pJ_pK`q\ MaqN`rO`rP`sR_sS_sT_tUZtVZuXZuYYvZYv_YwaXwbXxcXxdW\ yfWygWzhVziVzjVyiUxhUwhTwgTvfSufSteStdRsdRrcQqcQqb\ QpaPoaPn`On_Om_NlZNkYNkYMjXMiXLhWLhVLgVKfUKeTJeTJd\ SIcSIbRIbQHaQH`PG_OG_OGZNFYMFXMEXLEWLDVKDUJDUJCTIC\ SHBRHBRGBQFAPFAOE9OE9ND8MC8LC8LB7KA7JA6I96I96HA7HA\ 8HB9HBAHBAHCBHCCHCDHDEGDEGDFGEGGEHGEIGFIGFJGFKGGLG\ GMFGMFHNFHOFHPFIQFIQFIRFJSFJTEIUFJTFJSFKSFKRFLQGLQ\ GLPGMPGMOGNNHNNHNMHOMHOLHPKIPKIQJIQJIQIIRHJRHJSGJS\ FJSFJTEKTEKUDKUCKVCKVBLVBLWALW9LX9LX8MW7LX8LX8LX8L\ X8LX9LX9KX9KX9KXAKXAKXAKXAJXBJXBJXBJXBJXCJXCIXCIXC\ IXDIXDIXDIXDHXEHXEHXEHXEHXFHXFGXFGXFGXGGXGGXGGXGFX\ HFXHFXHFXHFXIFXIEXIEXIEXJ } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
