The formula appears at the end of this message. ; Delete the initial and copy it into your favorite formula ; file. The formula is the same as the original MandNewt06 except ; for the new p4 parameter, which adds a variable bailout capabil- ; ity. Increasing the value of p4 evaporates the images; decreas- ; ing the value solidifies them. (The exponent is negative and ; works in reverse.) ; ; The image was calculated with a bailout value of 2*(10^-29), a ; value at which the background has broken up into dots but not ; yet totally evaporated. Lowering the negative exponent actually ; increases the parameter value and causes the background dots to ; become more numerous. Increasing the exponent has the opposite ; effect. ; ; The name "Fractal Evaporation" describes the action. The rating ; of a 7 would be an 8 on the old scale. I actually think the ; image is pretty attractive. ; ; The calculation work may be avoided by viewing the finished ; image on the official but unfinished FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image may be seen in hi-def at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site is still to be found at: ; ; ; ; but it has not been updated for several months. ; ; Weather misery prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, as ; a steady rain fell all day and the temperature hardly budged ; from a chilly 48F +9C. The fractal cats spent the day doing ; things other than watching the rain. The day of the humans was ; near normal. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and keep checking the new FOTD web site. You ; never know when some outrageous stuff might be posted there. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FractalEvaporation { ; time=0:03:30.93-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=mandnewt.frm formulaname=MandNewt06a passes=1 center-mag=-489/\ 448/0.001246667/1/180 params=1/2/3/3/2/1/2e-029/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=atan periodicity=0 colors=200211322334454666878999BBBDDDFFFHHHJJJLKLM\ MMOOOQQPRRRTTSVVVXXWZYZ___aaaccceeegfghhhiiijjjlll\ nnnpppqqqsssqqqpppnnnllljjjiiigggeeecccbbb```ZZZYY\ YWWWUUUSSSRRRPPPNNNLLLKKKIIIGGGEEEDDDBBB9997775554\ 4422200001203404606807A09C0AE0CG0DI0FK0GM0IO0JQ0LS\ 0MU0OW0PY0R_0Sa0Uc0Ve0Xg0Yi0_k0`m0bo0cq0es0gu0hw0j\ x0kz0jx0hv0gt0er0dp0bn0al0_j0Zh0Xf0Wd0Ub0Ta0R_0QY0\ OW0NU0LS0KQ0IO0HM0FK0EI0CG0BE09C08A068056034022000\ 211432653874A85CA6EC7GE8IF9KHAMJBOLCQMDSOEUQFWSGYT\ H_VIaXJcZKe_LgaMicNkeOmfPohQqjRslSunTwpVxqWzsXxqWv\ pVtnUrlTpjSniRlgQjePhcOfbNd`MbZLaYK_WJYUIWSHURGSPF\ QNEOLDMKCKIBIGAGE9ED8CB7A9687565444322100040060080\ 0A00C00E00G00I00K00M00O00Q00S00U00W00Y00_00a00c00e\ 00g00i00k00m00o00q00s00u00w00x00z00x00v00t00r00p00\ n00l00j00h00f00d00b00a00_00Y00W00U00S00Q00O00M00K0\ 0I00G00E00C00A00800600400 } frm:MandNewt06a {; Jim Muth z=c=(pixel*p1): a=z^3+(c-p2)*z-c b=p3*z^2+c-1 z=z-1*a/b p4 < |a| } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
