In this area we find the tiny ; things I call 'peanut holes'. These holes appear to be far more ; plentiful than minibrots, though with an infinity of both, this ; is not mathematically true. ; ; Anyone who has ever enjoyed a bag of fresh roasted peanuts in ; the shell knows that most peanuts have two 'nuts' in a shell, ; but some freaky ones have only one nut in a shell, while others ; have three and rarely four nuts in a single shell. The peanuts ; in today's image are the 'three-in-a-shell' kind, and they ; surround the minibrot, growing ever smaller and more numerous ; the closer to the minibrot we look. Actually, these peanuts are ; not really trapped points at all, since they fill-in when the ; maxiter is raised. ; ; When rendered in the normal manner, today's image falls kind of ; flat, so to add some life, I calculated the image with the ; outside set to 'real'. The result turned out to be too busy and ; disorganized for a rating higher than a 6, but with a calcula- ; tion time of only 1-2/3 minutes, not much effort will have been ; wasted if the result proves disappointing. ; ; The name "Chunky Peanut Butter" seemed appropriate when I ; noticed the number of tiny peanut holes filling the screen. The ; task of calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Pleasant conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central on Thurs- ; day as the sun shone brilliantly and the temperature reached 61F ; 16C. The sun is now climbing high enough during the midday ; hours that it misses the back edge of the fractal cats' window ; shelf, so they spent the afternoon on the front part of their ; shelf, watching for stray cats to wander by. ; ; With the spring jobs coming in, my day was rather busy, but I ; still found time to find a fractal. The next FOTD will be ; posted in two days, more or less. Until then, take care, and be ; wary of e-mails that want you to stand in as the heir to an ; abandoned sum of 26-million U.S. dollars. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ChunkyPeanutButter { ; time=0:01:46.73-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 float=y center-mag=-1.250000626757216/+0.0003126618705661/\ 1.95e+011/1/11/0 params=0/0 maxiter=150000 bailout=16 inside=0 outside=real periodicity=6 colors=000U91T81S80R80P70P70S70R60P60P50N50M50K40K\ 40I40L30L30K30J20I20I20C10B10C00B10B20B20130B40B40\ B50L60L60L70L80L80L90LA0LA0LC1LE1KF2KH3KK3KL4KN4KP\ 5KQ5KQ6KQ6KO7KO7KO8KN8KO9KP9KOAKPAJPBJPCJPCJQDJQDJ\ REJSEJSFJTFJUGJUGJVHJWHJWIJXIJYJJYJJZKI_LI_LI`MIaM\ IaNIbNIcOIcOIdPIePIeQIfQIgRIgRIhSIiSIiTHjUHkUHkVHl\ VHmWHmWHoXRqXRsYRuY`vZ`wZjx_jx_ty`ty`tzatzatt`ts`j\ s`jr_jr_jq_jqZ`pZ`pZ`oY`oY`nYKnXKmXKlXLlWLkWLkWLjV\ LjVMiVMiUMhUMhUMgTNgTNfTNeTNeSNdSOdSOcROcRObRObQPa\ QPaQP`PP`PP_PQZOQZOQYOQYNQXNRXNRWMRWMRVMRVLSULSULS\ TLSSKSSKTRKTRJTQJTQJTPIUPIUOIUOHUNHUNHVMGVLGVLGVKF\ VKFWJFWJEWIEWIEWHDXHDXGDXGCXFCXECYECYDBYDBYCBYCAZB\ AZBAZA9ZA9Z99_98_88_78_77_67`67`56`56`46`45a35a35a\ 24a24a14`02a13a14a24b25b26b36tU7tU8tU8tU9tUAtUAtUB\ tUCtUCtUDzUEzUEzUFzUFzUGz9Ht9HtAItAJtAJtD5tD5tC5tC\ 4tC4tB4tB3tA3tA2tA2t92t91 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
