But since there ; is a complete 360-degree circle of lines in the Julibrot perpen- ; dicular to the M-set, we must be more specific. Today's image ; lies in the direction of the imag(Z) axis, and is centered at ; the point 0.78615 on that axis. ; ; The image is not a perturbed Mandelbrot set. It is rotated at ; an angle of -19.37 degrees from the Mandelbrot orientation, the ; angle at which it is tangent to the edge of the Julibrot in the ; Elliptic orientation. When rendered in the conventional manner, ; today's image is a rather boring fractal. The Fractint program ; cures this monotony with its various inside and outside fills. ; I rendered today's image with the outside set to 'real' and the ; inside set to 'bof61'. ; ; I could rate the image no higher than a 6. It has too much ; program magic and not enough true fractal stuff for any higher ; rating. ; ; I named the scene "Offside" because it lies off to the side of ; the large bud on the main stem of the M-set. ; ; The calculation time of under 6 seconds is brief enough to hold ; disappointment at bay if the resulting image is seen as lacking. ; ; The easiest way to view the image is to visit the FOTD web site ; at: ; ; ; ; where it is posted already calculated and ready to be ; appreciated at leisure. ; ; With a temperature of 68F 20C and sunny skies, Thursday was ; pleasant enough here at New Fractal Central, though the wind was ; a bit too blustery for absolute comfort. The fractal cats spent ; most of their time in the window, watching occasional flurries ; of leaves that fluttered past on the gusts. ; ; My day was uneventful; FL's day was the same. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and a month ; ago my broker told me I could make a pile in the guano market, ; but I must have done something wrong because I dropped a load. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Offside { ; time=0:00:05.59-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=0/-0.0000596\ 847054883/272487.8/0.0009874/90/0 params=-19.37/0/\ 0/90/-1/0/0/0.78615/2/0 symmetry=none inside=bof61 float=y outside=real maxiter=1500 periodicity=6 colors=000WuVTtYQt`NtcKsfHsiEskDGyCleAe_8ZU7SO5LIz\ uCzr6xoJrfFhYCXQ9QH6J83d38Y26R25K14D126mzNRzI`mDS`\ 9IP49CTnyPwzLaiIVaEPVAJN7CF367eJdaidU_WMROFIG798Zt\ DNa8BJ4I1cF0YC0SA0M70H50B205AWz8Sr7Oj6Kb5GV3CN28F1\ 47I1OueoaSYJEHhVxaQoWMfPHYJDQC8H648IP3EK2AF17A1350\ YO9MG6B834Xw2Mc1BKcUIGoqYFkYYxTTpPPhLLaHHUCCM88F44\ 7iswWtbGSJeMyRkOLaJGSEAJ9594Lg4AM2bQcXMYRISMEMiTWi\ QXgS_`_m`Zn`Yo`Xn`Wm_VkYUiVRfTQbQO_cMWmPhzWHyVHzbI\ v`IrbImeJhhJcjJZlIUnHPpGRrFYtEcuEanL`hSZaZYWdRRYLN\ RFIK9EDHJHPOLXTPdYTlaX_bONcFAd69c58b47a42SF8SNDSVB\ OQ9KM7GH5CD388144CIR5_e4SX3LP2EG178XorShkObdKWYGQR\ CJK8DD466cdpUUbKKQAADJlUE_M9OF4C7PT8IL6CE46721Q30L\ 20H20D1081040gF_ZCSQ9LH6E837ZZtQQeHHS88ETs9Oi7J`6E\ S49I3491sNGgICXD9M96B43nRdPDKMSLGLFBEA575B`zip3UZ2\ FH15OC3G8184hKHUDBF65cKveQrgWnhajbYeYVaSSYNPUHLQCI\ M6FI1CE9MHHVJOdLWmNbvPZuS } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
