I call this parent ; fractal a solar-system because it consists of a scattering of ; minor fractals surrounding a large central fractal. Today's ; scene is located deep in a valley in a large minor fractal just ; southeast of the main fractal. ; ; The name "The Midnight Blues" does not refer to a state of ; depression. It is the first thing that popped into my mind when ; I emptied it of all other thought, which some say is my usual ; mental state. ; ; The art rating of 7 indicates that I see some worth in the ; image. The math rating of a 5 shows that the math trick has ; produced many fractals in the past, some of which are notably ; better than today's. ; ; The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes might be slow enough to ; give boredom and the resulting blues a chance to arise. Here is ; where the web sites can be a real 'upper'. ; ; Beat the blues by checking the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The day began cloudy here at Fractal Central. Snow began at ; 1pm, with up to 8 inches expected by midnight. The temperature ; reached a high of 30F -1C at noon, but fell steadily through the ; afternoon to a forecast low tonight of 0F -18C. The fractal ; cats, who prefer snug warm comfort, watched the flakes for a few ; minutes before snuggling up in their warm blankets. The humans ; also enjoy comfort, but they know that the world is fickle and ; often unfair, and personal desires are not always fulfilled on ; request. ; ; The wishes for more fractals will be granted however. In fact, ; the next one will be posted in about 24 hours at this same spot. ; Until then, take care, and God is sometimes fickle in fulfilling ; worthy requests, but the FOTD has fulfilled the desire for free ; fractals for almost 17 years. (Does this make me more generous ; than God, or merely a hypocritical boaster who will some day ; face the divine wrath?) ; ; ; Jim (whatever) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Midnight_Blues { ; time=0:05:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+1.195684835622485/-0.1591907650565708/\ 2.532651e+012/1/97.5/0 params=2.5/0/18/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=694 symmetry=none periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00001233424815B26E28H2AL3CO3ER4GU4IX4KY5MZ5\ O_6Q`GSbGUcHWdHYeH_gIahIciJdjJfkJhmKjnKloLnpLprLrs\ MttMvuJwvKsrKomKmmJjmIgmHbnGdnHfoIhoIjpJlpKnqLpqMr\ rMtrKmnIgjHafFWbDP_CJWADS87O71LC3PG4TL5XP7`T8dY9ha\ BlfCpjDtnExmIqmMkmPemT_lXTl_NlcHlfBfdE`cGVaIQ`KKZM\ EYO9XQDUMGSIJQFMNBQXlVaj`fiekgkpfpuduzcaakIDrR5rqw\ 5rt6rq7rn7rk8si9sg9seAscAtaBr_CrYCqWDnUDlSEjPFeKF`\ FGWAHR5HM0IH0JC0J70K20K50P80UA9ZD8cF8hDDiBIiAMj8Rj\ 6Wk5_kDOrYubWu_UvXSwUQwROxOMyLLyIKsKKmMJhOJbQIXSIS\ UHMWHHYHXtFUsDQsAMs8Jr6Fr4CrAIpFNoLSmKCyRHxXLwbPvh\ UunYttasm_qfZp_Yn0F90CB0ADDMHPYK`hNV`PQTRLLTGDV8HJ\ JKBIF4RAF_KQc`cqkkzpuymmyjeyhYxeQxbIx`BpZEiXGdaD`e\ BXh9Tc7SeERYKQPQcUXmUbmUhZeaS`ZcWWcRTcNQcPPcRPcTPc\ VPcXOcZOc`OcaOZfJSjEMnABrQ1udKvQ2wBXxfgyqeznczkazh\ _zeBzWLzaVzfdzlmzqozsqzuszwzzyzzzzzrzzjzzbzzVzzNzz\ Fzz8zzIzzSzz`zzjzzszzKzzt } 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|
