; May 5, 1997: A Minibrot for Lunch ; ; minibrot ; ; Fractal visionaries: ; ; I built the orchid fractal this afternoon and tried my hand at ; recoloring it. I soon gave up. Colored as it is, it's one of the most ; exquisite fractals I've yet seen. It's hard to top the present coloring ; scheme, so my idea was to change only the background -- to a deep blue, ; (R-00, G-00, B-20). This gives me the impression that the orchid is ; floating in infinite space. ; ; Today's fractal is built from the same formula as yesterday's. I've ; included the formula again today because I've made a slight change in ; it, which enables it to run slightly faster. ; ; You'd think that the Mandelbrot midgets would be totally hackneyed by ; this time, but here's one that's different. It looks to me like a ; skewered turkey, so I named it "skewered". Believe it or not, the image ; is a result of subtracting the Z^4 mandeloid from the Z^2. As is the ; case with nearly all my fractals, I've not yet explored any deeper than ; the attached image, but I'll bet there's plenty of goodies hiding down ; in there waiting to be discovered. ; ; As for the request to send formula and parameter files as separate ; attachments, I fail to see how that would simplify the process. In my ; case I'd need to make two separate postings for each fractal, because my ; software permits only one attachment per E-mail letter. ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; START FORMULA=================================================== A_Minibrot_for_Lun { ; time=0:01:11.95-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MixSqrProJulib passes=1 center-mag=-1.00004989087253/-0.000068071013947/\ 3.412695e+008/1/67.5/0 params=1/-1/4/1/0/0 float=y maxiter=1218 inside=0 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=000`Kq`Kq_Kp_Kp_JpZJpZJoZJoYJoYJoYInXInXInX\ ImWImWImWImWHlVHlVHlVHlUHkUHkUGkTGjTGjTGjSGjSGiSGi\ RFiRFiRFhQFhQFhQFhPFgPEgPEgOEfOEfOEfNEfNDeNDeNDeMD\ eMDdMDdLDdLCcLCcKCcKCcKCbJCbJBbJBbIBaIBaHA`IA`JA`K\ A`LAaMAaNAaOAaPAaQAbRAbSAbT9bU9bV9bW9cX9cY9cZ9c_9c\ `9da9dc9dd9de9df9eg9eh9ei9ej9ek9fl9fm9fn8fo8fp8fq8\ gr8gs8gt8gu8gv8hw8hx8hz7iz7iy8ix9ixAhwBhvBhuChtDht\ EhsFgrGgqHgpIgpJgoJfnKfmLflMflNfkOfjPeiQeiRehRegSe\ fTdeUdeVddWdcXdbYdaYcaZc`_c_`cZacYbbYcbXdbWebVebUf\ bUgaThaSiaRj`Rj`Rj`Rj`Rj`Rk`Rk`Sk`Sk`Sl_Sl_Sl_Sl_S\ m_Sm_Tm_Tm_Tn_Tn_Tn_Tn_To_To_UoZUoZUoZUpZUpZUpZUpZ\ UqZUqZVqZVqZZrZcrZhrYmrYrsYvsYzsUzsKztAztAztAztAzu\ AzuAzuAzuKzuKzvKzvKzvXzvXzwXzwXzwmzwmzxmzxmzxmzxmz\ ymzymzymzymzzmzzmzzmzzmzymzxmzxzzwzzwzzvzzvzzuzzuz\ ztzztzzszzszzrzzrzzqzzqzzpzzpzzozzozznzznzzmzzmzzl\ zzlzzkzzkzzjzzjzzizzizzhz } frm:MixSqrProJulib {; Jim Muth z=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), c=real(p2), d=imag(p2), e=p3+(d*pixel): z=(a*sqr(z))+(b*z^c)+e, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE============================================== ;
