Much to my surprise, the ; image I turned up rates a lofty 9. ; ; The generating expression subtracts a tiny part of Z^100 from ; just over 1 part of Z^2 then adds (1/C) to create a parent ; fractal that is impossible to describe in words, but consists ; mainly of a wild mixture of holes and outside stuff. ; ; In today's image the holes, which were brought to life with the ; 'bof60' inside fill, are reddish, while the outside stuff is ; bluish. The inside of the minibrot is the dead black color in ; register 077, with assorted other brilliant inside and outside ; stuff surrounding it. ; ; The name "Something to Watch" would have been more appropriate ; if the FOTD had been a changing animation. As it is, the viewer ; will have to watch a stationary scene. ; ; The rating of a 9 seems appropriate. The image actually is ; quite good. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is very reasonable consid- ; ering that an image with a rating of a 9 will be calculated in ; that interval. ; ; And as always, the finished image is posted for instant pleasure ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Wednesday here at Fractal Central featured thickening clouds, ; with a forecast of torrential rain on Thursday. The temperature ; of 70F 21C was quite pleasant. The fractal cats spent the day ; watching for stray cats in the area. I spent the day wondering ; how much water might get into the fractal basement if the fore- ; cast 6-in 15-cm of rain actually falls. The next FOTD is due to ; be posted in 24 hours. If nothing goes wrong, it might actually ; appear. Until next time, take care, and be prepared. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Something_to_Watch { ; time=0:01:45.56-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 float=y center-mag=-16.31605237523/-0.00276335686/\ 1.5e+008/1/-33/0 params=1.02/2/-0.000102/100/0/0/\ 0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=bof60 periodicity=6 colors=000q9Lr4Nr0S`70RE1XL2aR2fX2lc2qi2vo2sm3qk4o\ j5mh5kg6ie7fc8db8b`9`_AZYBXXBUTGSPLPMPNIULFYNKWOOV\ PTTQXSSaRTePUjOVnNTrTSvZRycTxeVwgWwiYvkZvm`uobtqct\ sesufswhryirzcpyYoySnxNmxHlwBkw6jwBhrFfmJdiNbdR`_V\ ZWZYRbWNfUIjSDnQ9rO4vN0uR2uV4tZ6tb8oIHpDJ000JRsIRw\ OMmTHdZCWc7Nh3EgGSfTeeesh_kjUdlOXoIQqCIs6Bu14r5Bo9\ HlDOjHUiISiJQiJPiKNhLLhLKhMIhMHePNcSSaVXZYaX`fVbko\ PjpMfqJcrG`sMZsRYtWXt`WPFBVCE_AGd7Ji5Ln3NoAPpGRpNT\ qTUrZWreYsk_sq`roZrmXqkVqjUphSpfQpePgWQZMRQCSI2TG9\ XFG_ENcDUfC`jBgmAnpFkpJip0Ea0E`0E_0EZ0EY0CV0AR08N0\ 6J04F00B007003000000NbdN__NYUOVOOSJOPDON8LPDIQHGSL\ DTQBVU8WY6Xa7WY7WU8WR8WN9WJ9WGAWCAW9H_CNbETeHZhJdk\ MjnOpqRvtTleQcRNZOKULIPIFKFDFCA008HI9MQ9SY9Xe9bm9z\ z9ao8Xk8Rf8Mb8HZ8BU86Q81M85DF94LQJHeXEbUJ`SOZQSWOX\ UMaSKeTHaUFYVDUWBQX8MY6IZ4EZ2BXGKWUTVf`gQUtAOrHLpO\ IoUFm`Clf96jM4wAFfRPQfNRk } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
