Today's slice through the Julibrot is a good ; example. ; ; The slice is centered on East Valley of the Mandelbrot set, and ; oriented 0.1 degree from the Oblate direction, which means the ; Mandelbrot stuff is stretched about 573 times its normal extent ; in one direction. ; ; In the image that I found before today's, I unstretched the ; Mandelbrot parts, but in so doing, I stretched the Julia parts ; about 573 times. The grossly stretched Julia stuff is visible ; near two corners of today's image. When I did this stretching, ; I had almost no hopes of finding any of the Mandelbrot stuff ; that I had presumedly returned to its normal proportions, but ; much to my surprise, I found one tiny open spot lurking in the ; upper left corner. ; ; When I closed in on the tiny spot, I found the better part of ; one of the twisted minibrots that fill East valley. At first I ; could not believe that any Mandelbrot features at all could ; remain when the Julibrot is sliced 89.9 degrees from the Mandel- ; brot orientation. But pictures do not lie, (unless they have ; been manipulated on a computer), and the twisted object at the ; center of today's image is most certainly the remains of an East ; Valley minibrot. ; ; The rating of a 6! means that almost all the interest lies in ; the mathematical aspect of the image. The artistic worth is ; minimal, though not entirely absent, and the features surround- ; ing the chopped-off minibrot certainly are curious. ; ; The name "Expect the Unexpected" relates my adventures on the ; way to finding today's image. ; ; The calculation time of 21 seconds takes almost all the work out ; of running the included parameter file. The calculation work ; can be eliminated entirely by viewing the finished image on the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The sun departed and the clouds moved in here at Fractal Central ; on Monday, while the temperature hovered around a mild 55F 13C. ; The fractal cats took it all in stride, concerned only about ; their next food treat. My day was uneventful. Until next time, ; take care, and beware of global warming -- it's got me worried. ; How long will it be before we wake up one morning up to our ; knees in the rising seas, and find polar bears extinct? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ExpectTheUnexpectd { ; time=0:00:21.31-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot2 center-mag=-0.023260073\ 46855092/-0.00735188243689156/2294.688/0.002601/\ -179.929980454595068/89.7871683432740895 params=0/0/89.9/0/0.277/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=22 periodicity=6 colors=000A0OA0PA0QA0RA0SA2TA4UA6WA8YAA_ACaAEcAGeA\ IgAKiAMkAOmAQoASqAUsAWuAYwA_xAayAczAdvAcrAZm9Uh8Pc\ 6KjNFiRFPYCK`CFcAAe85d70a90Y90R60L40720xy1tu0pq0lm\ 0hi0de0aa0YY0UV0QR0MN0JJ0FF0BB0770330KmNHeJEZGBSD8\ L95E6273USSPOOLKKHGGCCC888444PUvGKb8AJyfVnZPdSKVLF\ KEAA752Tg1JT09E8yM7rJ6kH5dE4YC3R92K71D4062jcxdZq_V\ jVQcQMXKHRFDKA8D546amLYhJVdHS`FPXEMTC_oGbeIeXJhOLj\ FMeFOaFPYFQUFSQFTLFUHFVDFX9FY5FZ1F_4M`6Sa9ZbBdcEkd\ GqdEpfDogCniAmj9ll8km7kn9loAlpBlpDmqEmqFmrHmsInsJn\ tLntMnuNovPovQowRowUkuXgsZcqa`odXmfTkiPilMgnIeqEct\ Aav7`uAYuCVtETtGQtJNsLLsNIsPGiRD`TBSU9NV8IW7EW79X6\ 4Y50Y56bABgEGkILpMQtQQuSQvUQwWQxYQy_cz`czbczdczfcz\ hcziczgczemzcmzamz_mzYmzWmzUmzSmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzrzzv\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzznzzkzzgzzczz_zzXzzTzzPzz\ MzzLzzKzzJzzIzzHzzHzzFzzE } 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 ;
