At first ; glance, this parent fractal appears as an everyday Mandelbrot ; set. But a bit of thought will reveal that something is wrong ; with it. To begin, the main spike has been swallowed up, and an ; extra valley has appeared where the string of buds along the ; X-axis should lie. This extra valley is filled with discontinui- ; ties, though it is not without fractal hope. In fact, today's ; scene lies in this valley. ; ; After a modicum of thought, and a consideration of a name such ; as 'Chrysanthemum', I named the image "Technicolor Midget". ; Once the image is seen, the name will be self-explanatory. ; The rating of a 7 is better than recent days, but still leaves ; something to be desired. ; ; Most of the color was generated by the Fractint program with a ; stroke of the key. I did tweak a few registers, but not ; enough to reward myself the standard half-point bonus. ; ; Perhaps the best feature of the image is its fireball calcula- ; tion time of 57 seconds. An equally fast way to view the scene ; is to surf to the current FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image has been posted in finished form. ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Lots of sun and a temperature of 48F +9C here at Fractal Central ; on Wednesday kept the fractal cats quite content. In the human ; department, things went well enough also. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of sound con- ; stitution, but don't make too much noise while you're at it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Technicolor_Midget { ; time=0:00:57.97-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.294675469422\ 403/+0.05488858990964249/1.010264e+011/1/17.5/0 params=1.99/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=219 periodicity=6 colors=0009EK9DI8BG7AE69C57B469357235123011D0QB0NA\ 0L90J80H70F60D40B309206104002000000000000000000000\ 000000000000000zKCuFBpCAk99f68a47X26S26N25J14F13B1\ 27013009mI6cC3U68Kz7Av65m55c54Z43U33P22K21F11A005p\ zJirHckGWcEPYDMTBJPAHM8EI7BE58B4572231f2nX1hM1ZI1P\ D0K90F405G8INCP1a_0YX0VU0SR0POHWMFSJCNGAIC7E959603\ 32432NZ1LX1KV1JT1IR1GP1FN1EM1DK1CI0AG09E08C07B0690\ 47035023011z0Iz0Hz0Gz0Fz0Ez0Dv0Cr0Bm0Ah09c18U17K16\ A15514403302201100`3gR2XI1M90Bzv0vs0rp0mm0mj0mg0me\ 0mb0c_0cX0cU0US0UP0UM0UJ0KG0KE0KB0A80350120PJJNIIM\ HHLGGKFFJEEIDDHCCFCCEBBDAAC99B88A77966766655544433\ 3222111001Q_0MV0JR0GM0DI09D069034Y7cW6cU6cT6cR5cQ5\ cO5cN4cL4cK4cI3cH3cF3cD2cC2cA2c91c71c61c40c30c1Kc0\ Kn0Kk0Ki0Pg0Ud0Zb0c`0hY0mW0rU0zU5zZAzcFzhKzmPzrUzv\ Zzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
