Curiously, this larger minibrot is an exact ; duplicate of the parent fractal. ; ; To create today's colors I reused yesterday's palette and spiced ; it up to add a bit more contrast and reduce the color intensity. ; A minibrot lies at the center of the image, but unfortunately, ; it is well out of range of the DOS version of Fractint. The ; tiny black dot at the center is not the minibrot. It is an open ; area resulting from an inadequate maxiter. ; ; The art aspect rates an excellent 8, or at least in my opinion ; it does. The math aspect also rates an 8, since the minibrot is ; unusually attractive for a fractal with an exponent in the range ; of 1.333. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes will pass in a couple ; flashes once the quality of the final image becomes apparent. ; This time may be cut to a single flash by calculating the image ; with the passes set to 'g'. Otherwise, the web sites can make ; things notably less cumbersome. ; ; The image has been calculated and posted on the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The day began with 1cm 1/2in of light snow and ended with lots ; of sunshine. The temperature of 34 was chilly, but a lack of ; wind made it feel reasonably comfortable. The fractal cats ; spent most of the day sleeping. The new fractal cat Jasmine ; slept almost as much as Nico. He must be teaching her all his ; bad habits. The humans made it through the day uneventfully. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted within a reasonable time, but due ; to the holiday decorating that is scheduled tomorrow, the FOTD ; might not appear until December 12. Until whenever, take care, ; and watch for inconsistencies and a lack of information before ; you sign on to an environmental cause. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Buried_Cupcakes { ; time=0:02:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.2777676689985294/+0.9028184557183553\ /4.336525e+011/1/67.5/0 params=1.333/0/3.1439495/0 float=y maxiter=550 inside=0 logmap=284 periodicity=6 colors=00000000044f33a33W22R22L22G11B1160020000000\ 00000F00C05P9DS9DWAC_DDaFD`J8`D6`L6aI6fGEaJLcGRcGW\ cE_iEeoFkuEpzUvz_zyezzevzYmuSmxLnzFnwGosHnoInlKniM\ omOqkPqiRrgTrfUseUshYoi`libilQgmQdhffibbk_ZlTVqGzl\ IzlIzlKzgMzgNzgPzgPzgRzhSzhUzhWzhWzhXzhYzi_zi`zIYz\ IZzI_zI`zIazKbzKczKdzKezKezNfzPgyQgwRhtThsUiqVhnWh\ lYhkZhh_hgaifbiedkedkddlaelZemYfmVgnShnPhoMioKkqHk\ qDlr9mr8gn8_kATgCLcDE_EzkxzmwznwzpwzrwzsvlYzjSzgNz\ bUzY`xOcqEckFchKcfPcdUeaZg`ciZkjYlkXmlWrj0uj0zj0zl\ 0zo0zq5zsAzuFuxKzyPzyUzzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzvzzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
