And what has happened to our ; elephants? Nothing. They are still here, though far less ; apparent than in yesterday's image. They lurk along the edges ; of all the arms, waiting only for another inzoom to reveal a few ; of them. ; ; The name "Elephant Microscope" emphasizes the magnitude of the ; scene. At the scale of today's image, the entire Mandelbrot set ; would be at least the size of the entire galaxy, if not the size ; of the entire visible universe. ; ; The rating of an 8 indicates that the image has both mathemati- ; cal and artistic worth. And I did put some extra time into the ; coloring. ; ; Requiring arbitrary precision math, the image is rather slow, ; taking just under 13 minutes on the 2000mhz unit, but the result ; is worth the effort. ; ; Those who prefer their fractals pre-cooked will find today's ; finished image posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Sunday proved to be another really pleasant day here at Fractal ; Central, with lots of sun and a temperature of 66F 19C. Instead ; of hiding from the sun as they did all summer, the fractal cats ; chased the sun as it flooded their sunny shelf in the southwest ; window. My day was about average, while FL passed the time in ; her garden. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and exert top effort. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ElephantMicroscope { ; time=0:12:52.02-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=0.26822780072359\ 6336846270026/-0.003606790286420536717028549/\ 1.801363e+022/1/-137.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=705 periodicity=6 colors=000UPUWQTXSTYUTZWS_YS`_SaaSbdRcgRdjRelRgmSj\ pTmsTrvUvxUzzVzzWzzWzDUyDXxDXvDYtDZsDZrD_qDOpDSoDW\ nDQmFRmGSlISlJTkLUkMUjOVjPWiRWVSBTUDQWEOYGM_HKaJIc\ KEJtKb_QvGRpERjCSdBSZ9TT7TN6UH4RB3OC4ND5NE6OE7OF8O\ G9OGAOHBNICMIDLJELKFKKGJLHIMIIMI_N`pOsjMrdKq_IpUHp\ OFoJDnDBm8AmBDnDFnGHoIJoKLoNOpPQpSSqUUqWWqYXoZXm`Y\ kaYibYgCJbBEdAAfHB`OBWUBQ`BLgBGmBAtB5zK0wU6t_BqcGn\ eLkgQiiVfk_cmd`oiYqnVssTuxUyvXyu_zuczwhzxmzzrzzvzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfefi`ikXlnSnpOqrKslNtfQtaStWVtQY\ uL_uFbu9eu4guAgpGglMghSgcYg_cgWigRogNtgJfYPTPVFAU2\ AUAAUFAKKGKQGPUHKUHKQHKlHKqHSrLPrOMrRKsYHscFsfCsmA\ qhEpcIncMmZQkXUjTYhOagLefJi4Ib3Fd9GbeKheKgeKfeKeeK\ eeKddLcETZDO`ISQPbITfaThcUjfUlhVnjVpmmromtqmvsmuqm\ torsnrrlrqkrpirohrnfrmerlcrkbzzmzzmzzmzzmzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
