Wednesday was unusually busy here ; at Fractal central, so the FOTD is late. ; ; Today's image lies in the parent fractal of yesterday's image. ; It is located in the Seahorse Valley of a distorted minibrot on ; the main stem of the parent, very near the point where the stem ; joins the main body of the Julibrot fractal. ; ; I named the image "Not a Julia Thing". On the surface it ; resembles an everyday Julia set, but it actually lies in an ; orientation rotated halfway toward the Mandelbrot direction, ; making it something for sure, but not a pure Julia set. ; ; The rating of an 8 includes a full point for the extra effort I ; put into coloring the image. The coloring creates the better ; part of the overall effect. ; ; The calculation time of over 1-1/2 hours that is listed in the ; parameter file is some kind of timing bug that sometimes appears ; in the fractal computer after I run the ancient 'WordPerfect 5.1 ; for DOS' program, which I still use after all these years. The ; actual calculation time is around 2-1/2 minutes. It's too bad ; the bug doesn't make the fractals calculate as fast as it makes ; the clock run. (While the bug was in effect, the calculation ; time for an hour-long fractal was listed as 'a very long time'!) ; ; The finished image may be seen by running the included *2-1/2* ; minute parameter file or by viewing it on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Total sun and an unexpectedly warm temperature of 61F 16C kept ; nearly everyone happy here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. The ; fractal cats actually had a bit too much sun in the afternoon, ; and retired to the bookshelves in the hallway. ; ; My day was quite busy, yet satisfactory, which is all I could ; hope for. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 12 hours. ; Until then, take care, and when all those predicted technolog- ; ical wonders finally arrive, will they be for everyone, or only ; for the wealthy? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Not_a_Julia_Thing { ; time=1:31:02.06-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2 center-mag=-0.944342858\ 62/+0.000172719906/4812174/1/-40/0 params=45/0/-45\ /0/-0.75/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 logmap=614 periodicity=6 colors=00000B00D00F00I00K00N00P00S00V00Y00_01b02d0\ 3f04h05j06l07n08o09p0Aq0Br0Cs0Ds0Es0Fs0Gs0Hs0Is0Js\ 0Ks0Js0Ks0Ls0Ls1Ms2Ns3Ns4Os6Pr7Pq8Qp9RoARnBSmCTlDT\ lASm8TnAUnCVoEWpGXpIXqKXrMXrOYsQYsSYsUYsWZsYZs_Zsa\ _sc_se_sg_sh_si_sj_sk_sl_sm`sm`sm`sm`sm`sm`sm`smas\ masnasobspfsqfsrgssgssestfstgsuhsujsvksvlswmswnswo\ swpswqsvrsurstrssrsqrsqrsqssqtsqutsvtuwuwxusxvszws\ zxrzyrzzrzzrzzqzzqzzqzzqzzpzzpzzpzzpzzpzzpzzpzzpzz\ pzzmzzozznzzmzzmzzmzzmxznxzmxzlxzkxzkxzkxzkxzkxzkx\ zkxzkxzjxzjxzjvzivzhuzgvzftzetzdrzcqzarz_qzYpzWqzU\ qzQpzMpzIpzGqzGrzGsyFtxEvw8uv2su0rt0ms0is0es0as0Zn\ 0Wi0Td0Q_0NV0KQ0HL1EI1CI0AI08L09P0CT0EX0I_0Lc0Og0R\ m0To0Vq0Xs0Ys2Ys3Zs5Zs6Zs8ZsAZsBZsD`sFbsGdsIfsJhsN\ jsRlsWns`psdpshwshwshwshwshwsdrs`tsWvsRwsHlsCbs7Ss\ 2Is0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0B\ s0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs0Bs } frm:SliceJulibrot2 {; draws most 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), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)+c |z|<=9 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
