So I have decided to resume ; the FOTD on an every-other-day basis, alternating the daily ; FOTD's with a day of working on the FOTD web page. ; ; Things were still rushed here at F.C. on Friday, meaning the ; discussion will be terse. ; ; Today's image is a scene deep in a filament on the northeast ; shore line of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set. It actually ; lies on a filament in the image of June 24, at a magnitude about ; twice as great. ; ; Many of the same themes appear in today's image, though the ; large outer square and the smaller inner octagon are totally ; missing from the previous scene. ; ; Perhaps a bit liberally, I rated today's image at a 7. The name ; "Squared Octagon" refers to the geometric shapes in the image. ; ; The calculation time of 17 minutes is slow, but given the ; magnitude of the image, the slowness is unavoidable. ; ; The finished image is available at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at ; ; ; ; Total sun, low humidity and a temperature of 82F 28C made Friday ; an ideal day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats spent ; the day sleeping, perhaps showing signs that they are no longer ; kittens. ; ; The humans' day was acceptable, with little problems but no big ; disasters to speak of. The next FOTD will be posted in 48 hours ; -- but then again, maybe it will be delayed. Until whenever, ; take care, and as the owl said, it's 'too hot to hoot', which ; spelled backward is 'too hot to hoot'. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Squared_Octagon { ; time=0:17:21.84-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=0.44658826674909\ 358559395849/0.37152108221226800868923596/3.8e+020\ /1/62.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 inside=0 colors=000FabCbdAde7fg4hk5hh5de5_b4YZ5V_5S`5Pa5Mb5\ Lc5Jd5He5Ff5Eg5Ch5Ai58j57j48g49d4Aa4B_4CX4BU4AR4AP\ 4AM4AJ3AI4AH4AG5AF5AF6AE6AD7AC7AC8AB8AA9A99A9AA8AA\ 7AB7EA9H9AL8BO7CR6DV5EY4F`3G_5JZ6LY8OX9QWATVCVVDYU\ F_TGbSHdRJgQKiTHnQLkOOhLReJVbGY_E`XBcU9gR6jO4mL2pI\ 7mJBjKGgKKeLPbMT_MYXNaVOfSOjPPoMQsKQpNRmPSjSSgUTdW\ UaZUZ`VWbWTeWQgXLlVOiXQfYSd_Va`X_aZXc`UdcSfePggNhi\ KjlHknFmpCnrAoqDmpFkoHioJgnLemNcmPalR`kTZjVXjXViZT\ haRhcPgeNfgMeiKekIdmGcoEcqCbsAau8aw7fsBkoFqkLogJmc\ Ik_GiWFhVDfUCdTAbU9aV7_W6YY4W_3V`2UY6UVATTETQITNMS\ LQSIUSGXQFYPEYNEYMDZKCZJCZIB_GA_FA_D9`C9`A8`97a87a\ 66a57b39b2Cb1Fb1Ib2Ld2Oe2Rf2Ug2Xh2_i2bj3el3hm3kn3n\ o3qp3tq3wr2zv3ws4uq5so6pl6nj7lh8ie9gc9eaBd_CcZEbXF\ aWH`UI_TKZRLYQNXOOWNPVLRUKSTIUSHVRFXQEYPC_OB`N9bM8\ cL6dK5cJ8cJAcJCbJEbJGbJIbJKaJMaJOaJQaJS`IV`IX`IZ`I\ `_IbXWSUXTSXVPYXMZYKZ_H_` } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
