In today's image I give a sample of ; what this 'stuff' looks like close up. ; ; The name of the image is "Rectangular Spiral", and this indeed ; is what I found inside one of the rectangles a short distance ; off of the X-axis. (The farther from the X-axis a rectangle is ; located, the more distorted it becomes, and the more it fills ; with debris.) ; ; Today's image is filled from stem to stern with rectangles of ; all sizes and shapes, the whole assemblage forming a kind of ; infinite square spiral. And the elements in the large spiral ; are filled with smaller square spirals, all the way down. ; ; The rating of an 8-1/2 indicates that I consider the image well ; above average, and includes a half-point coloring bonus. If I ; had found a minibrot in the scene, I would have raised the ; rating to 9-1/2. (Minibrots probably are in there, but found ; well beyond resolution.) ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes may be bypassed by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Those who prefer their fractals in high-definition will find ; their wishes granted at: ; ; ; ; Paul's classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Near perfect conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central on ; Tuesday -- total sun, light winds and a temperature of 73F 23C. ; The fractal cats slept through most of the good weather. OTOH, ; the humans worked through most of the day, taking time out in ; the garden to enjoy the pleasant weather. ; ; The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. Most likely, it ; will appear on schedule. Until then, take care, and sometimes I ; get a vague, gnawing feeling that the scientific description of ; life misses something very important. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Rectangular_Spiral { ; time=0:01:59.51-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=-1.743\ 60412337577/+0.00025982861177705/1.34392e+010/1/\ -5.08/0 params=2.003/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=255 logmap=250 periodicity=6 colors=000HahHbiIbjIckJclJcmLdnMdnNenPenQeoRfoTfoU\ foVgpWgpYgpZhp_hqahqbgqbgobgkafiZfbWeXTcQPaLK_DIY7\ HX1EY0IZ0Ma0Pd0Tg0Wj0_m0bp0fs0iv0gt0eq0do0bl0aj0_g\ 0Ze0Xc0Wb0U`0TZ0RX0QV0OT0NR0LP0KO0MQ0OS0QU0SW0TY0V\ _0Xa0Zc1_e2ag3ci4ek5fm5ibAlTEoIJq8No7Pm7Qk7Si7Tg7V\ e7Wc7Ya7Z_7`Y6aW6cU6dS6fQ6gO6idGAcGAbGAbGAaGA`HA_H\ AZHAYHAXHAXHAWHAVHAUIATIASIASIARIAQIAPIAOJANJAMJAM\ JALJAKJAJJAIJAHKAHJAGIAFHAEGADFACFABGABGAAGH9GG8GG\ 7GF6GA2IA4HA5HA6GA7GA8GA9FABFACFADEAEEAFDMAFAAFAAF\ AAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAA\ FAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAFAAKPAKPAKPAKPAKP\ AKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKPAKQAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAK\ VAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVAKVJKVJKVIKVIKVIKVIKVI\ KVIKVHKVHKVHKVHKVHKVHKVGKVGKVGKVGKVGKVGKVFKVFKVFKV\ FNVFKVFNVEMVEMVEMVEKVEKVEKVEKVFKUFKUGKTGKTHKSHKSIK\ SIKRJKRJKQKKQKKQKKPLKPLKO } 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 ;
