The rating of ; an 8-1/2 includes a full 1-1/2 points for the coloring, which ; turns a routine 7-image into one that is notably above average. ; Setting the bailoutest to 'and' added to the effect. I very ; rarely use this feature. Changing the bailout radius has some ; effect on the image, though not as great as would be expected. ; ; The scene is located marginally deep in the Seahorse Valley of ; the second largest minibrot beyond the largest minibrot on the ; main spike of the parent Mandelbrot set. ; ; The name "On the Right Side" shows that the image lies in the ; north branch of the parent minibrot's Seahorse Valley, which is ; on the right hand side when one is looking west. Looking east, ; the north branch lies on the left, but that's a story for ; another FOTD. ; ; The normal calculation time of 1-1/2 seconds is extended to 52 ; seconds when the bailoutest is set to 'and'. This is still well ; within reason, but I also suggest viewing the finished image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds hung over Fractal Central all day on Friday. The ; rain that fell was insignificant, but the clouds held the ; temperature to 75F 24C, which made the fractal cats very happy. ; ; My day was about average. I'll be taking a trip back to Old ; Fractal Central on Saturday to check out the old place, so don't ; be surprised if the FOTD for August 15 is late. Until whenever, ; take care, and if a time machine were ever invented, would it be ; able to take us back to a time before the machine was invented? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_the_Right_Side { ; time=0:00:52.72-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.9415543545222\ 61/+0.00017961165098646/9.371529e+011/1/-177.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=220 bailout=5 bailoutest=and mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00070S80R90QA0PB0OC0ND1ME2LF3KG4JH5II6HJ7GK\ 8FI7EmqPpsRsuTuwVzyXzzczzmzzzzzzXJJPWPHhVMeZRbaW_e\ `XheUljRooOrmNmkNiiNegM`eMXcMTZRQUWNP_KKdHFhER_MaR\ UmIaxAi8a27`97_G7ZN7YT6X_6Wf6Vm6UsKYiYa_keQe`N`WKW\ RIRMFMHDVZBboAzz0zlKsbPoVUmMZoGJhBGb7Gr8Ef8DX8BN8A\ M99F97896195HBCWCIkEPzFV6fsza6ydGxfQwi_vkiumrsoqqq\ poromtnkvmiwlgykezjZm`TaRNFFMQHcTO`RMYPKVNISLGPJEM\ HCJFAAyPjtsemlageXaZTWSOQLKKEApXBkTCfQDaNDXKESHFNE\ GIB9CdBDYCDREELFEEsCDlDCeDB_DATE9ME8MozLjvKemJ`cJX\ UISIHNEGIBTAcQBXNCRLDKIEEiaz_UgQMQGGTGFMGEF3Pr5Nl7\ Mf8K`AJVCIPDGJFFDPUWMUQKXKINE4Ms7KgAIWDGKQ6QO8NM9K\ LAHJCEHDB5Uf8U_A_TCTMELF1U_4UV6iQ9aMBUHEMCxUOaZGwO\ 0aJ4uY6oU7iS7cP7YM8SJ8MG8z5aePYmUUmURmUOmULmUHmUEm\ UBmUEmUtmU8mUgmUWmUKmUSmUOmUKzczzczzczzczzczzezziz\ zkzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzm\ zzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
