I ; have now solved the dilemma. When the ratings get above 9.5, I ; will approach a rating of 10 asymptotically. This way I can ; always give ratings that are closer to 10, yet never run out of ; room for a possible better image. Today's image gives no rating ; problem however. Due to its excessively chaotic appearance, it ; rates a humdrum 7. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandelbrot set. The ; scene is located in a chunk of debris inside a half-morphed ; minibrot in an elephant trunk rather deep on the south shore ; line of East Valley of the parent M-set. Yesterday's far super- ; ior image had a similar location in a debris-filled minibrot ; near the tip of the main spike of the parent M-set. Clearly, I ; must learn more about this anti-minibrot stuff. ; ; I named the image "Enough is Enough" when I became annoyed with ; all the unwanted detail that fills the image, most of which is a ; horde of even smaller minibrots. ; ; The calculation time of almost exactly 3 minutes will allow the ; fractal visionary just enough time to prepare a drink that will ; enhance the impact of the image. For maximum impact, I suggest ; a glass of raspberry iced-tea. ; ; Those who do not consider tea their cup of tea may view the ; finished image equally pleasurably on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it may be enjoyed at leisure in finished form. ; ; Monday here at Fractal Central brought a lot of nothing. The ; temperature of 84F 29C was normal, the partly cloudy skies were ; normal, the moderate humidity was normal, a sprinkle of rain in ; the morning was un-notable and mostly un-noticed. The fractal ; cats definitely took little notice of the outdoor conditions, ; since they never get to go outdoors anyway. They are usually ; more interested in being fed than being outside cats. ; ; My day was acceptable, which covers a lot of possibilities. FL ; was pleased when a neighbor asked her if she would be willing to ; extend our garden to the neighbor's grounds. FL is thinking ; about it. And I'm thinking about the next FOTD, which will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I was walking ; down Market Street the other day, when I found the asymptote the ; man up the street had lost. I returned it to its rightful owner. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Enough_is_Enough { ; time=0:03:00.17-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip logmap=181 center-mag=+0.2657307376575294/-0.0031783250377311\ /4.631165e+013/1/-95/0 params=15/1e+020/0/0 float=y maxiter=4500 inside=0 passes=1 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000MMKNPNORPPTSQVURXXSZZT`aUccTfecicclamo_m\ rYzrWzyVzvTttRrrPooNmlLmiJmfHmcFm_DcR2ULCKRLAWU0`T\ 0cT0fS0iS2lR3nR4nQ5mQ6lQ8lP9lPAlOBlrDkmEihFgeGf_Hd\ XJbUK`OLZKMWKKVINUKQYLTaMWdNZgPahQdiRfhReiSdkVcmWh\ oWmqXrsYvuYzwZzx_zu_zs`xpawnaumbskcqkcojdmjekielif\ lhgmhgnghogiogijefecd`aaX__ZYXcWVhUTmVRrWUvcczbmzh\ mzmmzhcvcUrbFmcEhdCceBZf9Ug8Ph6Ki5Fj3Ak25l04m03n03\ n02l02j42h81fC1dG1cJ0aN0_R0YV0WZ0Ub0Te4Yd9acEecJib\ NmbSqaXuaay`ez`fxagsbgochjdieeiaejXfkSgkOhlJilFinE\ huEhoEgkEghEgcEfYEfTEfOEeMEeKEeIEdGEdFEdEEcCEcBEcA\ Eb8Eb6Eb4Aa2Aa0Aa1AZ2AX3AU4AS5AP5AN6cL7cI8cG9cDAcB\ Ac97cE4cI5cA6c36c06cDBcGFcIJcLNcNSUQWUS_UVcUXgUZfU\ _fU_eU_eU_eU`dU`dU`dU`bUaaUb`UcZwzYwzXwzVwzUwzTwzR\ wzQwzPwzQwzRwzRwzSwzSwzTwzTwzUwzUwzVwzVwzWwzWwzXwz\ XwzYwzYwzZwzZwz_wz_wz`wz`wzXwzTwzPwzMwzIwzEwzBwzFw\ zIwzMwzPwzTwzWwz_wzbwzfwz } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
