Just as in the Z^2.000001+C almost- ; Mandelbrot set, the area resembles an explosion in a railroad ; switching yard. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems justified, at least to me. The render ; time is short enough to make the task almost a pleasure. But ; there are some machines out there that dislike the Fractint ; program and its crusty old video modes. Those with such new- ; fangled machines may download the completed image from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The near-perfect weather conditions here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday delighted the fractal cats, who spent the entire ; afternoon lounging in the shade of the holly trees. The trees ; have lost a lot of their leaves since last year at this time, ; when they were covered with 17-year cicadas who love to deposit ; their twig-killing eggs in holly trees, but they still give ; enough shade to keep the cats cool on 79F 26C days such as ; Wednesday. This morning, the clouds in advance of the next rain ; system are moving in, but the rain is expected to hold off until ; sunset. It will probably be a good day for the cats. ; ; For me, it will likely be another reasonable day. The next ; fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; search for the reason. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fourth_of_July { ; time=0:02:23.63--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=-1.21883450232609400/+0.000001179804919\ 48/5.071115e+010/1/152.5/-5.20667307325056727e-006 params=4.000001/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 logmap=81 periodicity=10 colors=000NBKMCKLDKKEKJFKIGKHHKGIKFJKFJLEKMDKNCLOB\ MPBMQANR9NS8OT8OTAQUCRWETYGU_IVaKXcMYeN_gPaiUckZem\ cgohjqmnsrruuwwwzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzbwzXwzRwz\ L5zG`zjZzhYzfWzdVwbUt`SqZRoXPmWOkUNiSLgQKeOIcMHaKG\ `JI_MJ_PK`RL`UMaXOaZPbaQbdRcfSciUdlVdnWeqXetYevWcq\ VbmU`iT_dSY`QXXPVTOUONSKMRGLQCaRLUQSMQYEQcMwdJtbHr\ `FoZDmXBkV9hT7fR5cP3aN1_L3YK5XK7WK9VJAUJCTJESIGRIH\ QIGRKGSLFTMFUNEVOEWPDXQDYRDYSG_QJaPMcOPdNSfLVhKXiJ\ _kIbmGenFhpEkrDmsCjoEhkGfhHddJb`L`YMZUOXRPVNRTJTRG\ UPCWN9X`NWm_VlaXkcZkd`lc_mc_BRJBROBQTAPYAPbAOgAOlB\ RjBUhCXfCZdCacDdaDf_EiYElXEnVFqTFtRFvQJvSNvTRvUVvV\ ZvWbvXevYfrXgnXhkXigWjcWk`WlXVmUVnQVoMUpJUqFUrBTs8\ Tt4Tt1Tq3Pn4Ll6Hi7Dg99dA5bB1_E3YG5WI7TK9RMBPODMRFK\ THIVJFXLDZNB`P9bQB`TCZWEXYFW`HUcISeKRhLPjNNmOMpQKr\ RIuSHwRKqQMlPOfOQaNSXMURLWMKYHJ_BIa6Hc1LY5OS8SNBVH\ EZBHa6Kb9LcBLcEMdGMeJNeLN } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
