The rating of a 9 is no ; mistake. The underlying image is worth only a 7, but I awarded ; myself a full 2 points for the coloring, which gives the image ; most of its impact. ; ; The parent fractal is the Mandeloid that results when the ; expression Z^(2.2)+C is calculated 2 levels up the hyperladder ; with the 'recip' function applied. This parent is one of the ; most torn up I have yet stumbled upon. I'll not try to describe ; it in words, though it may easily be viewed by resetting the ; logmap to zero and backing out of today's image. ; ; Today's scene is located in a jagged clump of debris on the west ; side of what I assume is the main bay. The minibrot at the ; center of the image closely resembles its parent fractal. The ; most impressive feature of the image is the coloring of the ; central disk and the five broad arms radiating from this disk. ; ; The name "Blues in the Basin" refers to the bluish tinge I ; applied to the central disk and five radiating arms. And for a ; change, the program supplied only a small part of this coloring. ; ; The calculation time of a zippy 18 seconds will seem reasonable ; to even the most impatient fractalist. ; ; As always, the completely calculated image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition is available at: ; ; ; ; And the classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; A typical mid-august day prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today, with hazy skies, a high temperature of 86F 30C and ; humidity within reason. All this lasted until mid-afternoon, ; when a thunder-shower moved in and dropped the temperature to ; 68F 20C. The rest of the day was cloudy and more like autumn ; than summer. The fractal cats showed little concern with the ; outside conditions. They were more concerned with a line ; gauge, (printer's ruler that measures picas), that we laid on ; the table. ; ; The humans, in a very human manner, passed the day doing what ; needed to be done, though now that our biggest customer has ; gone elsewhere, this is sometimes too little to keep us busy. ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and does having faith in something always mean it is ; true? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Blues_in_the_Basin { ; time=0:00:18.73-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.6449570164524272/-0.0409793368502258\ /4.7e+012/1/72.5/0 params=2.2/0/2/0 periodicity=6 maxiter=750 inside=0 logmap=49 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000402603804A05C06E07G08I09K0FN0IP0JR0HU0JX\ 0J_0Hc0Fg1Ek2Co3Br6Bt5BwACzKDzUDzZEzUFzUGzUHzUHzUI\ zUJzcKzczzmzzmzzmzzzzzzzzzzmoOmlNmjNmhNmfNMcMMaMN_\ MNYMNULNULOULOZLOcKOZKOZKPZKPZJPZJPZJPZJbbUcaUcaUc\ hUchUdhUdhUdhUdhUehTfhSfhSghRghRctWcpVcpVcpVcpVdqV\ dqVdqUdqUerUerUerUerUeszfszfszfszftzftzgtzgtzgtzgu\ zguzhuzhuzhvzhvzhvzivziwziwziwziwzjxzjxzjxzzxzzxzz\ wzzvzzvzzuzzuzztzztzzszzszzrzzrzzqzzqzzpzkpzkzzkzz\ kzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzkzzzgzzgzzfzzf\ zzezzezzdzzdzzczzbzzbzzazzazz`zz`zz_zzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlzzlzzlzzlzzlzz\ lzzlzzlzzlzzlzzlzzlzzlzzrzzpzzozzmzzlzzkzzizzhzzgz\ zezzdzzczzazz`zzZzzYzzXzzVzzUzzTzzUzzUzzUzzVzzVzzV\ zzVzzVzzWzzWzzWzzWzzWzzXzzXzzXhzXhzXhzYizYizYizYiz\ ZjzZjzZjzZjzZkz_kz_kz_kz_kz_lz`lz`lz`lz`mz`mzamzam\ zanzanzanzbnzbozbozbozboz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
