The disks can be made larger or smaller by changing the ; escape radius, but this has little effect on the worth of the ; fractal. ; ; All is not lost however. When the entire Julibrot is sliced in ; different directions, it shows some aspects that are more ; interesting. In today's image I have double rotated the slice ; 66 and 66 degrees toward the Julia orientation, and rendered it ; with the outside parts set to 'real'. In the image, we see that ; the flat disks have become organized into more attractive semi- ; chaotic spirals. (The parent fractal actually has buds, but ; this is a story for another day.) ; ; I named the image "Faerie Fantasyland". The odd spelling is ; kind of a trendy pseudo-magical way of spelling the word ; 'fairy', which is used by those who are into new-age stuff. ; ; The rating of a 7 includes a full point for the smooth GIF ; coloring, which I really did put an hour or so of effort into. ; Without the coloring, the underlying scene would rate only a 6. ; ; The image is very fast. It finishes in under one minute on all ; but the oldest and slowest units. ; ; The image may be viewed without the inconvenience of setting up ; and running the included parameter file. Simply surf over to ; the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. ; ; High-definition variations are posted at: ; ; ; ; The back images are posted to the venerable FOTD web site at ; ; ; ; Snow fell all day here at Fractal Central today, while the light ; winds and relatively mild temperature of 30F -1C actually made ; the snow enjoyable. At post time about 5 inches or 12cm had ; piled up, but it was still falling. I'll give a final report ; in the next FOTD. The fractal cat alternated between stretching ; out on the radiator and hunching on the shelf in the southwest ; window, watching the snowflakes drift down. The humans took it ; as easy as possible, but I am concerned with the sidewalk that ; will eventually need to be cleared. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, most likely in ; 24 hours. Until whenever, take care, and I see that two people ; have been pushed in front of subway trains within a month. ; These trains are dangerous. We must do something about the ; needless deaths caused by misused subway trains. We must pass ; tighter train-control laws to keep subway trains from the hands ; of those who would misuse them. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Faerie_Fantasyland { ; time=0:00:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=+1.49344425/\ +0.22623503/210/1/-90/0 params=66/0/66/0/0/0/0/0/\ -2/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=real periodicity=6 colors=000CbFCcGDcGEcGEcHFcHGcHGcIHcIIcIIcJJcJKdJK\ eKLfKMgKMhLNiLOjLOkNPlNQmOQmPRmQSnQSnSToUUoWUoYVo_\ WoaWocVoeUogToiSokRomQnoQnqRnsRnuRmvQlwRkwRjvRitRg\ sSfqSdoSbnSalT_jTZiTXgTVeTUdUSbUR`UP_UNYVMWVKVVJTV\ IRVJQWJRXJSYKTZLUZMV_NV`OWaPXaQYbSZcT_dU_dV`eWafXb\ gYchZch_di`ejbfkcgkdhlehmfingjnhkoilpjlqkmrmnrnoso\ ptpquqqurrvsswttxuuxvuvututttstsrtrqtqpsposonsnmsm\ lslksjjriirhhrggrffreerddqccqbbqaaq``q__qYZpXYpWXp\ VWpUVpTUpSToRSoQRoPQoOPoNQrNOoNNmNMkNLiNKgNJeNHbNG\ `NFZNEXNDVNCTNAQN9ON8MN7KN6IN5GN4EM6HL8KKAMJCPJESI\ GUHIXGKZGLaFNdEPfDRiCTkCVnBXqAZs9`v9ax9cu9ds9ep9fn\ 9gk9hi9if9jd9ka9l_9mY9nV9oT9pQ9qO9rL9sJ9tG9uE8u99v\ CAvFBvIBvKCvNDvQDvSEvVFvYFvYHtYIrYJpYKnYMlYNjYOiZP\ g_Re`ScaTabU_cVZdXXeYVeZTf_RfaPfbNgcMgdKhfIhgGhhEi\ hCig9lgBifDfcFc_H`WJYTLVPNSMPPIRMETJBVG7XD4YB5ZC6Z\ C6_D7_D8`D8`E9aEAaEAaFBbF } 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 ;
