As far as I observed, ; his passing was little noted in the general news, which as ; always, seems more concerned with political polls and the con- ; trived adventures of the current pop celebrities. ; ; My thoughts about the event are that if I had designed mankind, ; I would have given him a few more, no a lot more, prime-of-life ; years on earth. I have always grumbled that we don't learn how ; to properly live life on earth until it's too late to benefit ; from what we have learned. All we can do is try to pass on to ; our children what we have learned. But what a waste of effort. ; ; Today's middling fractal is another one that rates a 7. It's ; actually an image of an order-7 minibrot in the vicinity of an ; anti-minibrot. I named it "Flower of Fertility". Who knows ; why. And I rated it at a 7 because that's what I consider it to ; be worth. ; ; The calculation time of 30 seconds is so brief that even if the ; result is disappointing, it will have almost been worth the ; effort. ; ; As always, the finished image is available on the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; Near perfect mid-autumn conditions held sway here at Fractal ; Central on Saturday, with sunny skies and a temperature of 68F ; 20C. The fractal cats made the most of things by passing the ; time sleeping, while my day was routine. The next FOTD will be ; posted in about 12 hours. Until then, take care, and how could ; a storm chaser be happy in heaven, where there are no storms to ; disturb the peace and the weather is always perfect? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Flower_of_Fertilty { ; time=0:00:30.75-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinalDivideBrot function=recip float=y center-mag=-1.254120781288623/+0.3826441355303951\ /1.154265e+010/1/125/0 params=7/-5000000000.0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=21 periodicity=6 colors=000pdRnaRk_QhYPeWPbUO_SNXPNUNMRLLOJLLHKIFIF\ DHCBF99D77CA9EDAGFCIIDKLFMNGOQIQTJSVLTYMV`OWbPXeRZ\ hS_jT`iU_hV_hVZgWZfXZfXZeYZe_ZdaZccZceZdgZeiZfkZfm\ Zfoafpcfqefrhfsjgvkftlesldrldqlcolbnlbmlall`jl`il_\ hlZglZemYdmXcmXbmW`mV_mVZmUYmTWmTVmSUmRTmRSmRRlRQl\ RPkRPkROkRNjRMjRMiRLiRKiRJhRJhRIhRHgRHgRGfRFfREfRE\ eRDeRCdRBdRBdRAcR9cS7dR9cQAbQBaPC`PD_OEZOGYNHXMIWM\ JVLKVLLUKNTKOSJPRJQQIRPHSOHUNGVMGWLFXLFYKEZJE`IDaH\ CbGCcFBdEBeDAgCAhB9iB9jA8k97l87n76o66p55q45r34s24t\ 25u36v37w48x48y49z5Az5Bz6Cz6Cz6Dz7Ez7Fz8Gz8Gz8Hz9I\ z9JzAJzAKzALzBMzBNzCNzCOzCPzDQzDRzERzESzETzFUzFVzG\ VzGWzGXzHYzHZzIYzHXzHWzGWzGVzFUzFUzFTzESzERzDRzDQz\ CPzCSz9QzBPzCOzENzFLzGKzIJzJIzKHzMFzNEzPDzQCzRBzT9\ zU8zV7zX6zY5zW5zZ5za5zc5zf5zh5zk5zm5zp4zs5zr6zr7zr\ 8zr9zrAzrBzrCzrDzrEzrFzqGzqHzqIzqhzAgzAgz7fzAfzCfz\ EfzHfzJfzLfzOfzQfzSfzVfzX } frm:FinalDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=(-b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))-c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
