But despite the activity I found time to locate a ; worthy fractal. ; ; I took the parent fractal of three days ago and cut the portions ; in half. The effect was to do little more than double the size ; of the parent. ; ; Instead of lying in a valley at the southern edge of the 'fan' ; of the parent, today's scene lies in a spiralling filament ; extending from a twisted minibrot on the southeastern edge of ; the fan. ; ; The name "Spiral for the Ages" is admittedly overblown. The ; chief feature in the image is the minibrot, not a spiral. The ; rating of a 7 is about what the scene is worth. If I had more ; time, I might have improved the colors and raised the rating a ; half point or so. ; ; The image calculates in just one minute -- in the super-fast ; category. No time will have been wasted if disappointment ; prevails after the minute. And the image is always available on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Thursday began with snow and sleet here at Fractal Central. For ; a while it looked like a white Thanksgiving was in store, but by ; late morning it all changed to rain and within an hour the centi- ; meter or so of snow that had piled up was gone. The fractal ; cats kept careful watch on the big floppy flakes for an hour or ; so, then decided to ask for food. The temperature rose during ; the day from 32F 0C at daybreak to 39F +4C at nightfall. ; ; My day was pleasant enough. FL kept the two guests who were ; expected well supplied with food, while the foul weather kept ; any unexpected visitors from dropping by. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what will the ; next media-manufactured crisis be? It's already got me worried. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Spiral_for_theAges { ; time=0:01:03.44-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+4.21799657059/-4.05052923939/1.92e+007\ /1/100/0 params=-5.5/-1.1/-0.55/-11/0/525/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=135 periodicity=6 colors=000dsmbtmcrm`umZtmYvmVvmTwmRymTxmUwmWvmXumY\ tm_sm`rmaqmcpmdomfnmgmmaUmjkm_SmlimYQjifmWOgfckUMd\ c`iSKa_YhQIZWUfOGWSQcMETOM_KCQKIXIANGEVEBKCAPA8H86\ F04F02050A40C30B20D10F50IA0HF0GK4EP8CUCAZDAcEAhFAm\ FArKAvPAwUCwZEwZGwZGwcGwhFwhEwmGwmHwrJwrKwwLwwNssO\ ptQmpRjlSggUddVccWc_YcTZcU`cVacWbcXdeYefZfdZeb_d`_\ cZ_bX_bV_aT_`R__P__N_ZL_YJ_XH_XF_WD_VB_U9_U7_T5_S3\ _R2_R6YL9WGCUAFS5IQ0HO4HN8GMBGLFFLIFLMFLPJUQM_QP`Q\ SXQVZQYVQ`WQcSQfUQiVQlWQoXQrYQp_Sn`TlaUjTVhVWfWXeX\ YcY_a_`_`aYabWbcUcdTceRcgPchNciLcjJckHclGcmEcoCZpA\ Zq8Zr6Zs4Zt3Zu2Zs2Zr2Wq2Ro2Jn2Bm23l64m95nC6oF6pJ7q\ M9rP9rSBsWCtZDuaEvdGwgGwhJxhKxiMxiNxjPxjQxjSxkTxkV\ xlWxlXxlZxm_xmaxnbyndyoeyogyohypiypkzqlzqnzqozrqzr\ rzsszstzsuztvzuwzvxzwyzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
