Today, instead of ; focusing on the entire tree, we venture deep into its fractal ; wood to check its internal cellular structure. ; ; What we find there is a field of strange flattened cells that ; look like they have been squashed in a press. But even more ; startling is that the field of cells appears to stretch into the ; distance toward a horizon, making a scene that could possibly ; exist on an alien planet circling another star. It's not so ; unexpected. After all, in the original discussion I did comment ; that these fractal trees also make good alien landscapes. ; ; To bring out the landscape effect, I gave the sky a shade of ; deep blue, which might be found on a planet with a thinner ; atmosphere than earth's. Luckily, unlike on Mars, there is no ; dust in this atmosphere to spoil the purity of the blue sky ; overhead. ; ; The name "Cells of a Fractal Tree" describes the coral-colored ; objects in the image. The rating of a 7 indicates that I ; consider the image to be above average but not exceptional. ; ; The finished image is available on the internet at: ; ; ; ; and in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Total sunshine prevailed here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. ; The sun, along with the temperature of 82F 28C, made it one of ; the finest days of the belated spring. The fractal cats passed ; the day lazily watching the world go by, but snapped to full ; alertness when Cassie spotted a bedraggled long-haired white cat ; prowling in the back yard garden. ; ; The humans' day was acceptable. Other than working, I spent ; much of the day watching the tornado action on the Weather (and ; advertisement) Channel. FL spent some time working on her ; 'CrossScan' puzzles and hoping they become a big hit. I helped ; her hope. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and if at first you don't succeed, try and try ; again -- and then give up. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal-Tree_Cells { ; time=0:01:00.06-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=julzpower center-mag=+0.1591795970\ 85/+0.522912404175/5340717/1.4756/2.75/0 params=-0.1964/0/1.5/0 float=y maxiter=1500 bailout=25 inside=0 logmap=122 periodicity=6 colors=0002AU4AW6AY8A_AAaCAbEBdGDfIGhKKjMOlOSnQWpS\ _rUctXevYgxZizYkzYmzZoz_qzaqzdqzgrzjrzmrzmszmszmsz\ mtzmtzmuzmvzmwznxzoyzpzzqzzrzzszztzzcUOfWKdZNc`Qab\ T`eWZgYYi`WlcVnfTphSskQunPwqOysLsoImlFhiCbe9Yb6S_3\ NX9RZFU`LYaR`cXcdbgfhjhnnitqkytlwravqSuoHtn7rcIqTS\ pJaoHcnFemDglBik9kj7mi5oh3qg1sf0ue4vd7vdcdefcghahk\ `inZjpXksWlvUmxTnuUosUopUpnUqlUqiVrgVseVsbVt`VuZVu\ WWvUWwSWwPWxNWxLWvMVuMUtNUrNTqOSpOSnPRmPRlQQkQPiRP\ hROgRNeSNdSMcTMbTL`UK_UKZVJXVIWWIVWHUWHTXERYFQZGPZ\ HN_IM_IL`JJ`KIaLHaLFbMEbNDcOCcOBeSBfVAgYAi`9jc9kf8\ mi8nl7oo7prDjjIecN_XSVQQTPOSONRNLQNJPMIOLGNLEMKDLJ\ BKI9JI8IH6HG5GGAFJFFMKFPPESUEUZEXcD_hDbmDdjCagC_eC\ XbCV`BSYBQWBNTBLQAJOAGLAEJABG99E96B94992FE8KIEPMKU\ RQZVWcZahbfiZhiVjiRliNniKpiGriCti8vi5xayQcoXeecfXi\ eYfdYdcYbbZ`aZZ`ZX__VZ_TY_RWYUUWWSUYRS`PRbNPdLNfKL\ iIJkGImEGoDErBCtaWibZhc`f } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
