; Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:25:09 -0500 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 29-11-11 (Time is on Our Side [7]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20111129202636.388fa2f8@pop.mindspring.com> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- November 29, 2011 (Rating 7) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's curious image was created by a very simple iterated ; expression -- Z+(1/Z)+(1/C). This unlikely combination creates ; a parent fractal that consists of a Mandeloid rotated 180 ; degrees, with its main bay so enlarged that it has reached ; infinite size. Instead of the expected heart shape, the main ; bay has expanded into a hyperbolic shape. Luckily however, most ; of the hyperbola is cut off by lower iteration stuff, so a ; screen of infinite size is not needed to display it. Today's ; scene, consisting of very slow, very high iteration stuff, lies ; near the point where the north shore line of the main-bay ; hyperbola is cut off. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems about right. If I had had a bit more ; time to tweak the colors, I might have raised the rating to a ; 7.5 or even an 8. ; ; The big drawback with a high-iteration image is the calculation ; time, which in today's case is a dragging 38 minutes. This will ; definitely bring impatience to most fractalists. ; ; The name "Time is on Our Side" refers to the unusually long time ; required for the image calculation to be finished. ; ; Today, much time may be saved by checking the official FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; where the image is posted, pre-calculated. ; ; The high definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; The 14-1/2 year-old classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Skies were cloudy here at Fractal Central today. The tempera- ; ture of 66F 19C was unusually mild for the end of November, but ; the rain that set in during the afternoon spoiled this pleasant- ; ness. The fractal cats spent most of the day taking things ; easy, which is always a cat's right. The humans had a normal ; day, which means nothing worth reporting happened. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if ; our culture were not so spiritually bankrupt, the drug problem ; would be much less severe than it now is. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Time_is_on_OurSide { ; time=0:38:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-5.540586451621031/+5.506697812480911/\ 4.63142e+011/1/90/0 params=1/1/1/-1/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000TSIPNFKJEFFBBA87773330000000000000000000\ 0000000005309A2EF6KK9PPCVUH_ZKhcNphVzmSvhPrcOpZNkW\ LiTIfSIdSFaRDYQBXQATQ9SQ7PQ7OQ6NS5MT4LV4JX3IY2H_20\ f38c2G_2OX2_W6oY8q_9qa9saBscBtcDtdEtdEvfGvfGxhIxhI\ zjKzjMzkMzlOzmOznPzoGzoLzoPzoUzoZzpbxpgxqlvrqtssss\ qqqqqqoooqqqvvvzzzqKsE9vG9sIAoKCkNDhODdQEaRGYSHVSH\ SXMT_OUdRWhUWmZZqYWvZUzeTz_SqVRhRR_JMTDIL7FE0C90C1\ 0950C80EB0FF0HI2IN6MS9PVCS_HVdJYiOaoSetWhz_lzdpzgs\ zkrzorxtttpoqnkmkfzrzvvviichjO`k8al9bm9cn9co9dp8ep\ 8ep8fp9gp9ip9ip9jp9jp9jp9lpAmpAmp9mp9np9op9rp8op9o\ lCmhCkeEkdGkcIkcLkcOiaPi`Si_Wi_Xi``iWZiSYiPZhKYhHZ\ gD_f9ae7bd3dc1fe0mc0hc0ec0cc0_c1Ya0Vb1Tc1Pd2Ne2Ld4\ Jd4Gd5Ed5Df09d5Ac9CaCDaHF_JFYKEXOGXQGVSFUVHW_IYdJ_\ kNaqOavPczRcsTakV_cWXXXTTTVVVXTWXMWYGX_9_XKZb0fc3c\ d6ad9afDahHahK`iP`kTakWam_coefoggqheshcsiatk_vnZvo\ XxqWzzYxtVsnSmiQhdNb`LYWJ } 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 ;
