The parent fractal is a grossly oversized thing with a ; 'fan' and lots of filaments terminating in rings, the features ; that are typical of fractals created by double negative powers ; of Z. Today's image lies inside one of these terminal rings. ; ; I named the image "Briefly Beautiful" because at one time I ; found a color palette that would have raised its rating to an 8. ; But when I struck the wrong key, I lost the palette. Rather ; frustrated, I substituted today's lackluster 'tdis' palette. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is brief enough that ; little effort will have been wasted if the image turns out ; disappointing. And as always, the finished image may be found ; on the current FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; My own web site is coming. No, it is not just a fantasy; it ; really is under construction. The delay is due to unexpected ; problems that keep arising. ; ; Sunday began pleasant enough here at Fractal Central, but things ; went downhill as the day progressed, and by afternoon heavy ; clouds filled the sky. Luckily, the rain held off until after ; dark. The fractal cats approved of the temperature of 54F 12C, ; though they would have enjoyed a bit more sun. ; ; I passed the day getting caught up in a pile of loose ends, ; while FL pondered this year's garden. The next FOTD will be ; posted in time to be thoroughly enjoyed. Until whenever, take ; care, and could the so-called obesity epidemic be a sign that ; our technology is turning on its creators like a Frankenstein ; monster? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Briefly_Beautiful { ; time=0:02:31.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+198.7100824673263/+516.0210595923169/\ 1.568941e+007/1/-82.5/0 params=-1.1/-4.2/-4.4/-1.2\ /0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=0 colors=000zkVzkTzkRzkPzjOzjMWjKYjIZiGziEbiCdiAzi9z\ j8zk7zl7zmzzn5znzzo4zpzzq3zrzzs1zszzr3zrzzr5zqzzq8\ zqzzpAzpBzpDzoEzoFzoGznIznJznKzmLzmNzmOzlPzlQzlSzk\ THkUGkVHlSHlQHmOImMInJInHJoFJoDJoCJoBKnELmHLlKMkNN\ jPNiSOhVOgYPf_QebQdeRchSdkRcjQbjQbiPaiP`iO`hN_hNZh\ MZgMYgLYgKXfKWfJWeJVeIUeHUdHTdGSdGScFRcDPdFRcHScJT\ cLUbNWbPXbRYaTZaV_aWa`Yb`_c`ad_ce_eg_ghZiiZkjZlkZh\ i_eh_af`Ze`VcaSbaQXgPaaOfWOkRNpLNuGPtJRsMTrPVrSXqV\ YpY_o`aoccnfemigllhlnfjldhkcfjadi_bhZ`gXZfVXeUVdST\ cQSbPQaNO`LM_KKZIIYGGXFEWDCVBAU98VA9TB9RBAPCANCALD\ BJDBHEBFFCDFCBGC9GD7HD5IC1HD3HE4HF6HG7HH9HIAGJBGKD\ GLEGMGGNHHMHGOIFPIEQIDSICTJBUJAVJ9XJ8YJ7ZK6`K5aK4b\ KKTf4cK5aL6_M6ZM7XN8WN8UO9SPARPAPQBOQBMRCLRDJSDHTE\ GTFEUFDUGBVE9XGAVHBUICTJDSKERLFQMGPNHOOINPJMQKKRLJ\ SMITNHUOGLKPKLPKNQJPRJRSJSTIUUIWVHYWHZWG`XGbYGdZFe\ _Fg`EiaEkbCmdElbGl`IlZKlX } 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 ;
