Down here, most minibrots ; are quadratic, though I would not be surprised to find one of a ; different order. ; ; The name "Altocumulus Circle" came to mind when I saw a small ; patch of altocumulus clouds in the sky this morning, then ; noticed that the puffy elements in today's image somewhat ; resemble the clouds. ; ; The rating of a 7-1/2 is what I consider the image to be worth. ; The extra half point is a perhaps too-liberal reward for my ; coloring work ; ; As will be the case until the dedicated fractal computer is ; running again, or I find another speedier fractal computer, the ; calculation time of 40 seconds is a reasonable estimate. This ; time is brief enough to cause temporal distress to no one. ; ; View the finished image without the need to calculate it at: ; ; ; ; View it in high definition at: ; ; ; ; Check the original FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; After yesterday's big snow here at Fractal Central, today dawned ; clear and bright. The warm autumn sun and temperature of 46F ; +8C cut down considerably on the slushy snow, but by afternoon ; several inches were still on the grassy areas. The fractal cats ; decided it is too early for snow and spent the day curled on the ; couch. ; ; Meanwhile the humans had a reasonable day. The snow removal was ; made easier by the sun, and I gave the sun ample time to do its ; work before thinking about the ice. FL finally admitted that ; gardening season is over. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and if neutrinos are tachyons, ; then time travel into the past might be possible. If this is ; true, then the next FOTD might have been posted 24 hours ago. ; Fractalists who are more rational might sometimes wonder if I ; take this time travel stuff, or any of the other alien or ghost ; stuff, very seriously. Actually, I take very few things very ; seriously, but there must have been something real to create ; such a vast quantity of folklore. ; ; But to be serious for a moment, the next FOTD will be posted 24 ; hours in the future. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Altocumulus_Circle { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=+0.4986765159179153/0/1.368037e+011 params=1/3/-0.355/4/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=179 symmetry=xaxis mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000MBSMCSMDSMESMFSMGSMHSNITOKUQMWSOYUQaWSeY\ TiZUm_Vo`WqaXsbYucZwd_ze`zfazgbzhczhdzhfzNK`IEYE8U\ A2RG5YM8dRBkTEeVG`XJVZLQzzzwwmvtctqUrnKokAkhDaeLW`\ TTZEWVFZQFaMGcIGfEHjAHk6Il2Il5Jk7Ji9JfAIbAG_AEXACU\ AARAAOAALAAIAAFAACAA9AA6AA6AACmLDmJEmHFmFGzEHzzIzA\ XKTaBXf3`j5dm7gp8jtAmwCpzDsxCpwCnuBltBj9rCDnCHjDLf\ DPbEzzCzzHzzDzzGzzIzzKzzSzzezzWzztzzQzzPzzOzzNzzzz\ zLzzzzzXzzzzzezzzzz7zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ kMzkPzlSzlUzlXzmZzmazmczYezJfz4gz6fz8ezAeICdEEdAGc\ 6Hc2Je6Lf9NgCPiFRjJTkMVmPXnSZoW`qZbracsdVX5gj6tx6s\ v9ruCqtFpsIprLopOnoRmnUlmXll_kjbjheifhidkhbng`qgZs\ aUoWQmQLmLHmFCm98m44mB5mH6mO7mU8m_9zZHzcOzhWzmbzmj\ zmqzmozmmzmkzmjzmhzmfzmezmczmazm`zmZzmXzmWzmUzmczm\ czmczmczmczmczzcWzcUzcSzcRzmPzzOzzMzzLzzKzzJzzIzzI\ zzHzzGzzFzzFzzEzzDzzCzzCzzGzzJzzMzzPzzSzzVzzZzzazz\ dzzgzzjzzmzzpzzjzzLzzLzzK } 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 ;
