; May 3, 1997: Hip-Hop in Style ; ; hiphop ; ; Fractal visionaries: ; ; Today's fractal is a real quickie. It appeared rather unexpectedly ; while I was testing an outlandish formula I had just written. The ; central shape reminded me of one of those schmoo creatures that appeared ; long ago in the Al Capp "Lil' Abner" comic strip. ; ; The formula itself, with six variable parameters, uses hyper- complex ; numbers to draw four-dimensional mandeloids, but it is quite ; unpredictable, in fact nearly out of control, and is still being tamed. ; When I get it under control, however, it will probably be a keeper. ; ; The finished image is posted as always to ABPF. BTW, the ABPF ; spam-cancel bot appears to be working better than I had hoped. The junk ; is way down. I think the porno spammers are getting the message. ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; START FORMULA=================================================== Hip-Hop_in_Style { ; time=0:00:03.02-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=hypersqrtest passes=t center-mag=0.479925/0.616534/2.096451 params=0/0/-3/-0.0005/25/1e-030 float=y maxiter=350 bailout=100 inside=0 logmap=yes periodicity=0 colors=000NJN67BC0IK00R0G_DKmDKfIJzmKzcKzULnKLlILp\ JMjLMmNNpPOsQPvSQL6_IE`GJZsfbqjfoniklggkecjd`hbXga\ Tf_Gei3esEetPdv`dwkcyvczbY_JSALo8MhEOaJPVPRNVSG`U9\ eV2kNLpGct8vyCvtGuoKukOufStaWtXZtT`tUbtVdtWetXes_W\ ZaV3``3We3RY7RQCSHGS9LT1PT7RXCU`IWdNYhT_kYbocdshfw\ eewbev`dvYduVcuSctQbtNbsKasHarF`rC`q9_qD`pIboMcnRd\ mVfmZglchkgijlkiplholfmmdlmbjn`inZgoXfoVdoTcpRapP`\ qNZqLYrJWrHYmI_hJacKbZLdUMfPNhKOiGOmLRqRUuWXpTYjQY\ eNZ`K_WH`QE`LBaQIdVPf_WidckijnnqpsxsJfgGcmEarE`sGC\ jJAfM7bP5ZS2VY7UbBThGSmKRsPQYehY`iYWiXQjXLjZRe`Xab\ bXdgSfmOhsJcrOZqSUpXPo`KoeFniAmn5lr0kw3lw6lv8mvBnv\ EnuHouJpuMptPqtSrtUrsXssUqqSnpPlnNimKgkHdiFbhC_fAY\ e9Tf8Og8Jh7Fi6Ai65j50k83iA7gDAeFDcIHaKK_NNZPQXSUVU\ XTX_RZcPafNmC_hDUcFOYGHTHBVJCYLD_NFaPGcRHfTIhVJjXK\ lZMo`NqbOihPbmQYdTUWXPN_PO`PP`BoPBpMAqIArF9sB9t88u\ 4HuERtN_tXYnVWgUTaSRVRPPP } frm:HyperSqrTest {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), e=real(p3), f=imag(p3): g=(a^c)-(b^d)+pixel b=e*a*b+f a=g, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE============================================== ;
