The image is located at the tip ; of a filament extending from a bud along the shore line of one ; of the bays. The excessive colors held the rating to a 7, but ; also inspired the name "Harlequin Corner". The 'corner' part of ; the name is a meaningless afterthought. ; ; The color palette is a random one created with one casual strike ; of the key. It needed no tweaking. After all, how can ; a random palette be tweaked to make it more random? ; ; The image is a very fast one, finishing in a lightning-fast 43 ; seconds on my P4-2000mhz unit. With the image being so fast, no ; one should have a reason not to run the included parameter file ; and enjoy the resulting happiness. ; ; For the convenience of those who do not run parameter files, the ; finished image appears on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds, with more clouds than sun, made Friday ; a day that left room for improvement here at Fractal Central. ; The temperature of 81F 27C was close to ideal however. The ; fractal cats had a typical cat day. They awoke at daybreak, ; meowed for their breakfast, meowed for their dinner, and meowed ; for their evening treat. The humans, who sometimes feel like ; the cats' servants, had an otherwise uneventful day. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, without a guarantee of prompt- ; ness of course. Until then, take care, and go out to protest ; actively or stay home and complain quietly. Regardless of what ; you do, nothing will change. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Harlequin_Corner { ; time=0:00:43.11-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.183710624218/+1.343487367273/1426025\ /1/-107.5/0 params=-1.5/-5.8/-3.6/-1.6/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1700 inside=0 logmap=119 periodicity=0 colors=000JBT95EYi8HN4mMJxIDU96BcakZO_QIOHCC861Pe0\ KZ0GS0CL08E047b28T16J14902NtLIhGDYC9M84B4wu8euzLTV\ ZZWzUzQQOLLKHHG`ZC888mm4pQ_CIk69OzLIeECL76ZAFH57tQ\ 2jL1aH1SD1J80940ywNnmJdcFVUBKK7AA3rEGR78l7Oc5KW4GO\ 3CG28814UNbPJWKFQFBJAFV5366Oz4A_3Fd25I129haBaz5Um4\ M`3FP27C1vQEnMCgJA_G8TD7M95E63731Wy4Pl3J`2Cc16C0JL\ nX2QQ1KJ1FD0A605wifnb_eWUYQOPJIHDC866Czz9jj6VV3FFf\ VDLF60_G0SC0L90E6073Ou_IfRCTI6E93FO17C1kiMN8DL78E4\ hSKlXOpaSsfWwk_zpcsqblrbesbZtbSubMvbXDxQAk465J7_D5\ O62CqQ1fK0WF0LA0A50L6VE4K72AG5e82LnEKKTxGNkCH_8BO4\ 5CH3UE2QC2MA1I81F61B4072034iE3bC2WA2Q81J61D40628aS\ ElxBcm9Wc7OU4GK28ATQIPMFLJDIGBED9Am67m43m26mo4mY2m\ HMmTEmJ7m9NmEFm97m4pmCmm8mm4mmXmzOmzGmz8mzYmzTmzOm\ zJmzEmz9mz4mzvmzjmzZmzNmzBmzzHzVTzsJz`9zIkzm_z`OzP\ CzCrzCgz9Xz7Mz4Bz2kzpezi_zbUzXOzQIzJCzD6z6UzlOzbIz\ TCzJ6z9Fz9Bz67z43z2bzuTzf } 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 ;
