; May 8, 1997: Ring Around the Singularity ; ; singularity ; ; Fractal visionaries: ; ; Today's fractal again comes from my most prolific and unpredictable ; formula file -- mandnewt.frm. Sometimes these formulas produce blank ; screens, sometimes they produce blank screens when the inside fill is ; set to a single color, but rich fractal images when the inside is set to ; bof60 or bof61, sometimes they produce Newton's images, sometimes they ; produce mandeloid images, and sometimes they produce a combination of ; all of the above. ; ; Today's fractal falls into the all of the above category. To see how ; much of it is inside fill, redraw the image with the inside set to 0 and ; the passes set to t. With the detail removed it will take only a few ; minutes. ; ; To add my part to the survey, let me say that I use Fractint about 80 ; percent of the time, an old shareware program by Scott Jones called ; "Recursive Realm" about 15 percent of the time, and all the rest about 5 ; percent of the time. ; ; I haven't yet had time to check most of the other fractals posted here, ; but things are beginning to slow down now businesswise, so over this ; weekend I'll see how many of the other posted parameter files I can find ; time to draw. ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; START FORMULA FILE============================================== Ring_Around_the_Si { ; time=0:00:46.24-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1950 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandNewt03 passes=1 float=y center-mag=-1.01365/0/0.7408645/1/90/0 params=5/0/2/0/4/0 maxiter=304 inside=bof61 logmap=yes symmetry=xaxis periodicity=7 colors=000F5fG4fH2fI1fI0fK4gL7hMAiOEjPHkQKkRNlSRmT\ UnVXoW_pXbqYfrZis_lsaotbsucvvdywewweuwfswfqwgpwhnv\ hlvijvihvjfvkdvkbvl`vlZvmYvnWunUuoSuoQupOuiSvaVwgZ\ wNaxGeyF`sFWmERfDM`CGVCBPB6IA1CE1BJ1AN19W28d27n26w\ U5zU4UP`bQds6Dl7Gd9JXAMQBPNDTKEWIFZFGaDIdAJg7Kj5Mm\ 2Np6QpATpEWpIZoMaoQdoUhoYkoanoeqnitnmwnqznoylnxklw\ ikvhitfgsefrcdqbcp`ao__nYZmXXkVWjUUiSShRRgPPfOOeMM\ dLKbJJaIH`GG_FEZDF_FF_HG`IGaKHaMHbOIcQIcRJdTJeVKeX\ KfZLg`LgaMhcMieNigNjiOkjOklPlnPloQkmQjkQjiQigQieQh\ dQgbQg`QfZQfXQeVQdTQdRQcPQbOQbMQaKQaIQ`GTZKXXN_VRb\ TVeRYiQalOdoMhrKlvIoyGsxIqwJovLnuMluOjtPhsRfrSdqUc\ pVaoX_nYYm_Wm`UlbTkcRjePifN_bUQZ`FUf5QmBSiGTeMVbSX\ ZYZVb_RhaNncKsdGyfCxfDxfFwfGvfHufJufKtfLsfNrfOrfPq\ fRpfSofTofVnfWmgXlgYlg_kg`jgaigcigdhgegggfghfgiegk\ dglcgmcgobgpbgqafpafp`fp`fp`fp_eo_eo_eoZeoZeo6Kg7J\ g8Hg9GgAEgADfBBfCAfD8fE7f } frm:MandNewt03 {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: a=z^3+(c-1)*z-c b=p1*z^p2+c-1 z=z-p3*a/b .0001 <= |a| } ; END PARAMETER FILE============================================== ;
