But I cannot ; take too much credit for the colors. They were created by the ; Fractint program with a random strike of the key. ; ; The brilliant spot at the center of the image is a point of anti- ; bifurcation, or as I call such things, an anti-minibrot. ; ; While naming the image I was undecided between "Light at the End ; of the Tunnel" and "Glimmer of Hope". I finally decided on the ; latter name, since it was the one that fit in the allotted space ; in the parameter file. ; ; The image is a super fast one, finishing in a speedy 36 seconds. ; The way to avoid the calculation might be to check the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; I say 'might be' because I have not heard from Paul for a week ; or so, and the last I checked, the web site was not yet up to ; date. If for some reason, Paul is unable to continue with the ; FOTD web site, I could probably take it over myself. We are ; also considering setting up our own web site here at FC. Maybe ; we could incorporate the FOTD web site into our own site. ; ; After a chilly start, Saturday here at glorious Fractal Central ; turned into another near-perfect day, with a temperature of 61F ; 16C. Only a few delicate streaks of cirrus marred the unbroken ; blueness of the sky, while the strong sun in the southwest ; window gave the fractal cats all the pleasure they needed while ; the humans were away antiquing. ; ; Our day was occupied by the antiquing trip to Richfield. Maybe ; I'm going soft, because these trips are actually starting to ; become rather enjoyable. The next FOTD will be posted in some- ; thing like 12 hours. Until then, take care, and if the best has ; not already happened, it is yet to come. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Glimmer_of_Hope { ; time=0:00:36.30-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip center-mag=-0.7352361863561826/+0.2917224444576193\ /5293406/1/82.5/0 params=7/100000000000.0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000VULTSKRQIOOHMLFKJEIHCFFADD9BA79866644432\ 21000hhOddM``KXXIUUGQQEMMCIIAFF8BB6774332647A23E6C\ HCGjsKhqJgpIfnIemHckHbjGahG`gFZeFYdEXbEWaDU_DTZCSX\ CRWBPUBOTANSAzzzzzzzzzzzzzvzzrzzozylzxivwervbouZlt\ UisPfrJcqEbp9ao5`n0_m0Zl0Yk0Xj0Wi1Vh1Ug1Tf1Se1Rd1Q\ c1Pb1Oa1N`1M_1LZ1KY1JW1IV1HU1HT1GS1FR1FQ1EP0EO0DN0\ DM0CL0BK0BJ0AI0AG09F08E08D07C07B06A059058047046035\ 024023c12b11a0D`4CZ3CY3BX3BW3BV3AU3AT39S39R29Q28P2\ 8N28M27L27K26J26I26H15G15F14E14D14B13A139138027026\ 0150140130020010oTqiQkdNf_K`VHWQERKBLF8GA5A5254_93\ Z83Y83Y83X83W83W83V73U73U73T73S73S73R62Q62Q62P62O6\ 2O62N52M52M52L52K52K52J42I42I41H4BXrAYsAYtAYuDXsGW\ qJVoMUnPTlSSjVRhXRgWQfVPeVPdUOcTObTNaSN`RM_RM_QLZP\ LYPKXOJWOJVNJVNIUMITLHTLHSKGRJGQJFPIFOHENHEMGDMFCL\ FCKEBJDBIDAHCAGB9FB9EA8E98D97C87B76A75965854754743\ 6335324223112111000_ZPXWN } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): 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 ;
