I say virtually the same ; fractal because I have refined the real(p2) parameter so that ; the parent fractal now has perfect X-axis symmetry rather than ; almost perfect symmetry. The refinement makes no difference in ; the surface appearance of the parent, but it gives a more satis- ; factory base to today's image, (whatever that means). The scene ; of today's fractal lies in a spurious valley of the large mini- ; brot on the northern of the two main spikes of the parent. ; ; The image rates only a 6. The colors lack a certain harmony ; that could raise it to a rating of 7 or 8. And the sharply ; angular shapes themselves have a vaguely threatening appearance. ; ; The name "Caught in Flight" was the first thing that came to ; mind when I stopped trying to think of a name. It has no ; rational connection to the image. ; ; The calculation time of 10-3/4 minutes is a bit long for today's ; image. I suggest a trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to view the finished image. ; ; The rain ended Thursday night, but dark lumpy clouds hung on all ; day Friday here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 64F 18C ; felt a bit chilly, though it was not all that unpleasant. The ; fractal cats spent the day checking for unwanted stray cats in ; the vicinity. ; ; My day was appropriately busy for a Friday. With the garden ; well watered, FL took it easy. Unless an unexpected antiquing ; trip comes up on Saturday, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until whenever, take care, and take it easy. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Caught_in_Flight { ; time=0:10:45.37-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident inside=0 center-mag=-1.751081846385343/+0.0208545867075613/\ 2.07e+011/1/70/0 params=2.003/0/-0.00941066196782/0 float=y maxiter=12500 logmap=1111 mathtolerance=0/1 colors=000KZmKZmKZlKZkK_jK`iKahKbgKcfKdeLedMfcNgbO\ haPi`PhYOgVOgTOfQNeNNdKNdHMcEMbBMb9NcANdBOdCOeDPfE\ PfFQgGQgHRhIRiJSiKSjLTkMTkNUlOUlPTfTS`WSVZRPaQJdQD\ gOHdNKaLOZKRWIUTHYQF`NEcKCgHBjE9mB8q86t55w3WqHvlUu\ kSujQtiOtiMshKsgIrgGrfEqeCqeBnbCk`ChZCfXCcVC`TCZRC\ WPCTNCRLCOJCLHCJFCQJIWNOaQUgU_mXes`kycqnaid`bV_WKZ\ PAYI0XB1VA1U92S82R83P73O64M64L54J45F45A365260970G7\ 0J72N65Q56W45`44f9EfEMfJWhOdjTll_rpgtzjzzeuzapzZkv\ ZbrZZmZVhZRcZNZZJUZFPZBKZ8FWFATM9QTAN_BKfCHmDEsDFq\ CGoCHnCIlCuwhcrcUUUMfCNdBOcBPaBQ`BRZBSYBTWBTVBANZD\ dbGgfJjjLnnOqrRtvTwzVLvXtsYso_rlaqhbpezz0fmZglWikS\ kjPliMmgLneKocJoaIp_HqYGqXGrVFsTEtRDuPCvNBwMAxOAyQ\ 9zS9zU9zW9zY9z_9za9zc9zc9zc9zc9zc9ze9zgCziFzkIzmLz\ mOzmRzoTzqWztZzwazzdzzgzzjzzlzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
