This parent is a hugely ; oversized circular island with three large bays spaced evenly ; along its perimeter. The surrounding ocean is infinite. The ; image is located in a valley enclosing a small but curious ; double bud on the eastern shore line of the island. ; ; The name "X Marks the Minibrot" refers to the chunky X-shaped ; element almost filling the frame. ; ; The art rating of a 7 is average for a FOTD fractal. I see a ; certain 'forced' effect in the deep violet background, which ; appears just a little too artificial to give the image an above ; average rating. ; ; The math rating of a 7 is average for images created with the ; overworked MandAutoCritInZ formula. This formula has probably ; been the most prolific of the FOTD formulas. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes is slower than I would ; prefer. I leave it to the individual fractal fan to set up and ; run the parameter file, and then decide if the result was worth ; the effort. All risk of wasting time may be eliminated however ; by checking the web sites. ; ; The image has been calculated and posted for instant viewing at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The day began with a temperature of 16F -9C and light snow here ; at Fractal Central. The snow turned heavy by 10am and continued ; until mid-afternoon, when it slacked off to a light misty snow. ; The temperature heached a high of exactly freezing, which would ; have been fair enough if there had been no snow. The fractal ; cats were fascinated by the snow, and spent much time in the ; windows, wondering why everything had turned white. The humans ; spent the day working and setting up for snow clearing. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future, most likely ; tomorrow. Until whenever, take care, and the more one thinks ; about the meaning of life, the less one knows. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= X_MarksTheMinibrot { ; time=0:04:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+3.233638461699/-1.500873564601/2418817\ /1/-142.5/0 params=10.5/-1.1/1.2/-5.5/0/1500/0/0 float=y maxiter=2100 periodicity=6 logmap=296 colors=00000A10A20A30A40A50A50A50A50B50C50D50E50F5\ 0F50G60F60F60F70F70F70F80F80F80F90H90F90K90I90NA0O\ 80R90S60S70Q60O50M40K30I20G10E00B0080050040030020c\ 0Jt2Ls1Ns0Px3Qo6Ru9SmCTkEWgGYdI_`KbYMdUOfRQiNSkKUm\ GWoDXnEYnEZmFZmF_lG`lG`lGakHbkHbpIcjIduRdiN_waViXQ\ ziMifGwpBip6zzAkk5zq9mWDwlHoGKoZJhHIhHHaHGZHFWIESI\ DPICMIBJIBKJDLKFMKHNLJOLLPMNQMPQNRRNTSOVTOXUPZVP`W\ QbWQdSUaOY_KaXGeVCiTP9aSB`UC_XDZZEY`FXcGXeHWgIVjJU\ lKTRH7SF6SD5zJ4S93pG2S61kGAb7JgCSl8_cBVVDQXaZZyf_u\ d`rcanbbk`ch_ddZdaXeYWfVVgSThOSiLRiIQnLXkMaiNfgNkd\ Op8icAdTC`JJWGQSEWOBbJ9hF6oB4u72kH8bQDTZIKzmBrcImV\ OcYVY_`RbgLea8gmOhdNibZjpnknoflpajqXhqzfrNrszcsDqq\ zdoLemPolSfjWfh_gfcgefdaabYX_VSYRNVNITKDQG8OD4OW3O\ n2UjA_fIebPkZXpVckSafP`aMZYJYTGzODzJAzF7z7Vz0qzCcz\ Ocz_czEczGczIczKczMczOczQczRmzUmzXmz_mzamzdmzgmzim\ zczzYzzTzzNzzIzzCzz7zzFzz } 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 ;
