The theme for the ; August FOTD images is scenes deep in the Mandelbrot set. ; ; Today's image lies not all that deep however, just deep enough ; to make arbitrary precision math the better choice. The image, ; which requires 12-1/2 minutes to finish when arbitrary precision ; math is used, will calculate in only 2 seconds when standard ; math is used, but with a slight degradation in quality. I have ; included two parameter files -- one slow with high quality, and ; one fast with compromised quality. ; ; The scene is located on a filament extending from the northeast ; shore line of the main bay of the first large minibrot on the ; main stem of the Mandelbrot set. (the minibrot centered around ; -1.417) ; ; The name "Mandelbrot Affair" seems fair enough. After all, had ; it not been for Mr. Mandelbrot, we might never have discovered ; fractals. (Well, that does seem a bit unlikely, but the ; discovery might have been postponed quite a while.) ; ; The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a bit of a reward for the ; coloring, to which I gave a modicum of extra effort. ; ; The calculation time can be either fast or slow, depending on ; the image quality desired. ; ; The slow, high-quality version of the finished image is posted ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and in high-definition at: ; ; ; ; The traditional FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday brought sun filtered by high cirrus clouds, comfortable ; humidity and a temperature of 86F 30C to Fractal Central. The ; day also brought joy to the hearts of the fractal cats, who got ; into a friendly tussle that grew a little out of control. The ; humans had a typical day, which leaves next to nothing to ; remember the day by. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and when will the next crisis erupt? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mandelbrot_Affair { ; time=0:12:38.52-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.4163\ 2280574795804/5.86616949871998e-004/1.184349e+013/\ 1/67.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=554 mathtolerance=0.05/0 colors=000BCPBCPBCPBCPBDOBDOCDOCDOCEOCEOCEOCEOCFNC\ FNCFOCFPDGQDGRDGSDGTDHUDHVDHWDHXDIYDIZEI_EI`EJaEJb\ EJcEKdELeFMfGNgHOhIPiJQjKRkLSlMTmNSnPToQTnSUmTUlVU\ kWVjYViZVh_WgaWfbXedXdeXcgYbhYaiYaj__k`ZlbYmcXneWo\ fUphTpiSqkRrlQsnOtoNuqMvrLvsKwsJwsIwsLwsPwsUwsZwsc\ wshwsmwsrwsvwszwszwszwsvrnrnimjdhf`cbWZZRUVMPRIMND\ JJ8KF4KI6MK8OM9POBRQDSTEUVGVXIXZJY`L_mm`ru4qq5pn5o\ j6ng6md6l`7kY7jU8iR8iO8kN7lN7mN7nM7oM7pM7qL6rL6sL6\ tK6uK6vK6wK6iR9JMmJIjKFfKBcL7_L4XJA_IGaHMdGSfFXiDb\ kChnGnpKtsPyuUssZnqciphdnm_lrVkvQizLhz8ocN8WQ4PS0K\ N2GI3BD578BHGHRON_VSUXOOZKI`GCaC6PO0DZWSdzej4fI3WD\ 2L91A4by3Qd2DK1VhtFMSvH2T81Iv8Dg69T44E2nu7Ya4HJ21Y\ k0HOz0lV0OgT5XL3ME2B712Sg1IT09EhduXUfMcTBcEFcO7cCm\ cdXmRGmDemmVm`LmPAmCFz_BzR7zI3z9Pz7Gz4zz2zz6zz4zz3\ zz1zzizzYzzNzzBzzOzzEzzAzz72z3LznEzY7zHtz_nzlczPUz\ IKzCAz69z`4zIlzRXzNaz2Jz1 } Mandelbrot_Affair { ; time=0:00:02.12-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.4163\ 2280574795804/5.86616949871998e-004/1.184349e+013/\ 1/67.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=554 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000BCPBCPBCPBCPBDOBDOCDOCDOCEOCEOCEOCEOCFNC\ FNCFOCFPDGQDGRDGSDGTDHUDHVDHWDHXDIYDIZEI_EI`EJaEJb\ EJcEKdELeFMfGNgHOhIPiJQjKRkLSlMTmNSnPToQTnSUmTUlVU\ kWVjYViZVh_WgaWfbXedXdeXcgYbhYaiYaj__k`ZlbYmcXneWo\ fUphTpiSqkRrlQsnOtoNuqMvrLvsKwsJwsIwsLwsPwsUwsZwsc\ wshwsmwsrwsvwszwszwszwsvrnrnimjdhf`cbWZZRUVMPRIMND\ JJ8KF4KI6MK8OM9POBRQDSTEUVGVXIXZJY`L_mm`ru4qq5pn5o\ j6ng6md6l`7kY7jU8iR8iO8kN7lN7mN7nM7oM7pM7qL6rL6sL6\ tK6uK6vK6wK6iR9JMmJIjKFfKBcL7_L4XJA_IGaHMdGSfFXiDb\ kChnGnpKtsPyuUssZnqciphdnm_lrVkvQizLhz8ocN8WQ4PS0K\ N2GI3BD578BHGHRON_VSUXOOZKI`GCaC6PO0DZWSdzej4fI3WD\ 2L91A4by3Qd2DK1VhtFMSvH2T81Iv8Dg69T44E2nu7Ya4HJ21Y\ k0HOz0lV0OgT5XL3ME2B712Sg1IT09EhduXUfMcTBcEFcO7cCm\ cdXmRGmDemmVm`LmPAmCFz_BzR7zI3z9Pz7Gz4zz2zz6zz4zz3\ zz1zzizzYzzNzzBzzOzzEzzAzz72z3LznEzY7zHtz_nzlczPUz\ IKzCAz69z`4zIlzRXzNaz2Jz1 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
