Eating fractals is ; far more acceptable than eating people. Fractals are in ; infinite supply, while people are not. (Yes, I know the 'Purple ; People-Eater' song is over half a century old, but at least to ; me, an admitted old-timer, it still sounds a lot better than the ; 'pop' stuff they feed kids today, the only function of which, as ; far as I can see, is to satisfy the noise-addiction it first ; induces.) ; ; I rated the image at a question mark, mostly because I have no ; idea what to make of it. The calculation time is a very brief 8 ; seconds, which will bring no regret to those who make the effort ; to run the included parameter file and are then disappointed by ; what they see. ; ; Avoid the task of setting up and running the parameter file by ; viewing the completed image on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image is posted in high-definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site, which has been online for almost 15 ; years, may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Typical midwinter weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today, with a strong wind drifting the three inches of snow that ; fell overnight into 18-inch, 45cm, drifts. The temperature of ; 27F -3C felt notably colder due to the wind. With no sunlight ; on their window shelf, the fractal cats spent most of the day by ; the heat. ; ; My day began with clearing the fractal sidewalk, half of which ; was already blown clear, while the other half was covered by a ; snowdrift. FL kept the coffee piping hot. For a short time the ; cats watched the action with interest, but they soon got too ; cold by the window. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and would the real end of the world ; please stand up. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PurpleFractalEater { ; time=0:00:08.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=JulibrotMulti2 function=recip float=y center-mag=-1.78399/-1.54775/0.2183369/1/50/0 params=-13/1300/89/0/89/0/1.68388/1.33685/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=fmod proximity=3.4 outside=real symmetry=none periodicity=6 colors=000qCcpGbpKbpOapSapW`p_`pb`cQZSDXG1VK2OO3HR\ 3BZGEfTHneKuqNklPagRScSTaQT`OT_MTZKTYITXGTWESyCTtI\ TpNTkTTgYTbbTZhTUmTQrNPqIPqDPqCWfBaXAgM9mC8s2Eb8JN\ EFLDVGBjB9y68x7Ax8Bx8Cx9Dx9ExAFwBGwBHwCIwCJwDKwDLr\ LKmTKh`KcgKeeMgcNiaOk_QmZRoXSqVUsTVuSWdZNOeFLWEILC\ G2hG5XG8MTtfMYRhMuZIePEQQTsMNdJHQ2h39S7SQ97SLANICJ\ GEFD1td9YQ8zPC`IG33G66G998SNXa4Z64VFMSOc_`TgmIoy7Y\ 6CQQFJhHLjGNlGPnGViH`eHfaHkYH`SKRNMHHP7CRASXDfbFug\ oHzDNc_2Gc8MfDSiJYlObpUhsZnvdtyiytlwpnvlqugstcvs_x\ rWzqZph`f_cXReNIgEAdCGaBMZASW9YT8cQ7i17j18q8CmFGiL\ KeSOaZSYdWUk_QqbNo`LnZKlXJkVIjTHhRGgQFfODdMCcKBbIA\ `G9_E8ZD78xL7tM7pM7lN6hN6dN6aO5YO5UO5QP4MP4JQ4FQ3B\ Q37R33R30R9AMFJILSER`9Xi5br1gg5kX8oMBcjSdiRdiQdhPd\ hOedUfaZfZcgVigSnhPshMxdbnaseZigW`iTSjaRZjQNrPBiZD\ ahEUqFahPh_ZoRhgOm_LrTIwOKvJLuENu9Ot5Pt8SmAVfDY`F`\ UIcNKfHNiAPl4VdC`YJfQQlJX } frm:JulibrotMulti2 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p3*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p3*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), aa=-(real(p1)-2), bb=imag(p1), c=p+flip(q)+p4, z=r+flip(s)+p5: z=(bb)*(z*z*fn1(z^(aa)+bb))+c |z|< 6 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
