The ; fractal cats displayed a notable lack of interest. Thursday ; brought brilliant cloudless skies but also a cold temperature ; around 23F -5C. My day Thursday was spent trying to get caught ; up in the work. I also noticed that the fractal driveway has ; frozen into 3 inches of solid ice. I spread salt on it and ; hoped for the best. ; ; The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; see you soon. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wine_From_a_Stone { ; time=0:01:51.22-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=+0.7245512449658761/+0.2062643712917921/\ 1618732/1/-57.5/0 params=1.25/0/2.62/0 float=y maxiter=7500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000sJkyHknNmcSoTYqJbsEUhALY6CN23D9AIFHMLNQP\ ULS`HWgCZn8au4`uC`uJ_uR_uYZueZulPgcGVV7IMBDUE9`I4h\ L0oN5fPAZQFRSKJUPBVU3TYAR`HQcOOgUNj`LmgKpmOngRmaVl\ XYkRajMdiGghBecDdZEbUGaPH`LIaOOaRTaUYaXba_gabladqX\ ZnSUlNPjIKgDFe8Ac45aEEbOMbYVcgbcqjcwtwviuvZsvOqvDo\ v3nnFpgRq`bsUntNzuMwvMuwMrxLpxLmyLkzLizIjqGkiDlaBl\ T8mL6nD4n5EeEOYNYPVgHcq9kjDjcHjXLiQPiJSiPUeUWb_YZd\ _WjaTocPueMzgJlgaia_gWZeQYbLX`FWZ9VX4UaF`eQgi`nmkt\ 8NeISVSXKPYGNYDLZAIZ6G_3E_07YA0XJAaNJeQSjU`nXis`rw\ clr`gmYbhVYcSTZPOVMXaFdh9ln3jdEiWPgSSfOUdKWcHYaD_`\ 9aZ5cY2eV9cSGbPNaMU`J`_GgZDnYAtXImVPfUX_ScTRKMPKGO\ KJQKMRKPSKSTKVUIPO2RP3PS3NV4JQ4FN5BJ57I63H60G95HC9\ HFFIIHJIJLILMINNTZ7O_8KW8GS8CO98K94H96I87I79J7AJ6C\ J5DK5FK4GM4IQ6KY8McAOiCQpESuGUzIQvGMpFImDEiCBfBJ_H\ RUMZOSfIXPVuMXpJYlGZgD_cA`Z7aV4bQ2cMAXRIQVQK_YDcd7\ g`RlXipLvTMrRUVk_SkfPklMk } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
