The result is a very attrac- ; tive fractal with double seahorse features, which lies right at ; the limit of conventional math, making the mathtolerance entry ; necessary. The name I gave the image, "Diamond Seahorse", ; fully explains itself. ; ; The rating of an 8-1/2 credits me with 1/2 point for the ; coloring. The colors are good because things are slow around ; F.C. today, and it's always easier to create good colors when ; there is extra time to work on them. ; ; The calculation time of 5-1/2 seconds is no mistake. This is ; how fast the P4-2000mhz machine runs the speeded-up type=mandel ; formula. Today's image is one of the few FOTD images that ; calculates in less time than it takes to stop at the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and view the finished image there. But the calculation time ; does not include the time required to set up the parameter file ; for calculation, so in the end, it is still both faster and ; simpler to visit the web site. ; ; Wednesday was sunny but cold here at Fractal Central, with an ; afternoon temperature of 26F -3C and a biting wind from the ; northwest. The fractal cats put their noses to the window, then ; decided it was best to stretch out on their broad warm shelf ; over the radiator. ; ; My day was slow, which permitted the extra work on the colors of ; today's FOTD. The next fractal in the near-endless series will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where do we ; go from here? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Diamond_Seahorse { ; time=0:00:05.34-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.7418\ 546457524966/+0.143748516797246/6.5e+012/1/-7/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6500 bailout=36 inside=1 logmap=1580 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000hendbi`_eXYaUVYQSTMQPINLFKHBIC7F83C40A05\ 93A95F97K99P8CU8EZ8Gb8IcBJdDKeFLeHLfJMgLNgNOhPOiRP\ iTQjVRkXRkZSl`TmbUmdUneXofZpgaphcqifrihsjkskmtlpum\ rvnuvnwsmuqlsokrmjpjinhhmfgkdfibeh_dfYcdWbcUaaSa`Q\ bZOcYMdWLdVJeTHfSFgQEgPChNAiMAiL9hLCeJFbII_GKWFNTE\ QQCSNBVJAYG8`D7b96e64h33j02i17i2Ch3Hh4Lg5Qg6Vf7_f8\ ce9heAmdBrdBveArfAogAkh9hi9ej9ak8Zl8Vm8Sn7Po7Lp7Iz\ 5Hq7Fi9DaBBTD9LF73C7DH6NM6WR5eW5n`5oWDoRLoMToH`oCh\ o7pnBmnFknJinNgmQdmUbmY`maZldWlhUllSlpQkxLlsOloRlk\ TlgWlcZrZ`vVdzRgzNjzJouFrmDrhCr`BrXArT9rQ8rM6rI5mE\ 4hA3c62Z31U53P74K95FB6AD7AE9AGAAIBAKCAMDFKFHKEJKDK\ LCLMBMNANO9OP8PQ7QR6RS5SU4TW5NY6Ic7Cg77jB6gF6cJ5`M\ 5XQ4UU4cY4m`3zd3zh2vl6roAmpFmpKmqPhqUjrZcrchrhmsmr\ srvtvzwzzzzvzzszzozzlzzizzevzawzZvzWuzTtzQszNrzJqz\ KpzLozMnzNmzNmzOmzPmzQmzQmzVwzZwzcwzgwz_wzTwzXmz`m\ zdmzhmzlmzpmztmzxmzwmzvmz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
