That image was unmistakably a Mandelbrot-plane scene, but ; today's image is sliced in the Rectangular direction, which ; leaves little but the same colors to recognize. ; ; I wanted to do something more with the original image. My first ; impulse was to check the same scene in the Julia direction. The ; resulting circular hole was not very interesting however. So I ; tried the Rectangular direction, and look at what happened. ; ; To begin, the calculation time increased nearly 100 times to 45 ; minutes, which shows the efficiency of the type=mandel formula ; of Fractint. The original 2-lobed basin has been twisted and ; stretched to a point where it is almost painful to look at. The ; central minibrot is stretched into a slit so narrow that it has ; virtually vanished. ; ; I did tweak the colors a bit, though not enough to give myself ; extra points. The name "Z Squared Plus C" implies that the ; generating formula is the same; only the orientation has been ; changed. The rating of a 6 seems about right. ; ; The calculation time of 45 minutes will definitely not pass in a ; flash, which is why I recommend viewing the image already ; calculated on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Monday began well enough here at Fractal Central, with lots of ; sun and a temperature of 79F 26C, but at 4pm the sky clouded ; over and a minor thundershower moved in, dropping the tempera- ; ture to 64F 18C. The fractal cats took all this in stride, more ; concerned about food than the weather. ; ; My day was about average. Most likely tomorrow will be the ; same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and where did we go wrong? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Z_Squared_Plus_C { ; time=0:45:08.14-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=Rectangular center-mag=+0.000000000001\ 01005/-0.00000000000148829/2.16213e+011/0.04251/\ -114.506625219024372/-84.326593494906632 params=-1.779820675627452/3.6884410169988e-011/-1.\ 779820675627452/3.6884410169988e-011 float=y maxiter=40000 inside=255 logmap=-9114 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000QVtQUsPTsOSrORrNQqNPqMOpLMpLLoKKoJJoJInI\ GnIFmHEmGDlGClFAkE9kE8jD7jD6jC5hC5gB5eB5dB5cA4aA4`\ 94Z94Y94X84V83U83T73R73Q63O63N62M52K52J42H42G41F31\ D20231C31B219218106105104002001000zzwyzwxwwutprqjo\ pgmodknbim`gl_ekZcjYaiX_hWYgVXeUWcUVbTUaST`RS_QRYP\ QWOPUNOSMNRLMQLLQLKQLJPLIPLHPLGPKENICKGAIE9GC8EA7D\ 96B85A7496385274153042031020FUHESGDRFDQFCPECODBNDA\ LCAKB9JB9IA8H98G97F86D76C75B65A5495484363253242131\ 121010KZBIWAHU9GS8FQ8DO7CL6BJ6AH58F47D46A358236224\ 1120x9ut8rq8on7lk7ih6fe6cb5`_5YX4VU4TR4QO3NL3KI2HF\ 2EC1B918605302z6ez5dz5cz5bz5bz5az5`z5`z5_z5Zz5Zz4Y\ z4Xz4Xz4WzUVzUVzUUzUTzUTzUSzURzURzUQzUPzUPzUOzUNzc\ NzcMzcLzcLzcKzcJzcIzcIzcHzcGzcGzcFzcEzcEzcDzcCzcCz\ cBzcAzcAzc9zc8zc8zm7zm6zm6zm5zm4zm4zm3zm2zm2zm1zm0\ zz8zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz6zz6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm5zm5zm\ 5zm5zm5zm5zm4zm4zm4zm4zzz } frm:Rectangular {; Jim Muth imag(z),imag(c) z=flip(real(pixel))+p1, c=flip(imag(pixel))+p2: z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
