With the 'floor' function ; built into the formula, the same image could certainly have been ; found at many other levels on the hyperladder. ; ; To me, the parent fractal resembles a wild young woman speeding ; down the road in a tricked out sports car with a large hood ; ornament, with her hair flying behind her in the wind. ; ; But don't get your hopes up. In today's image the only ; remaining sign of the wild woman is in the name of the image, ; "Wild in the Wind". All we have to show in the FOTD image is a ; fractal scene with routine features. ; ; If more of the woman were in the image, it might have earned a ; much higher rating. As it is, I could give it a rating no ; higher than a 7. ; ; The 55 seconds it takes to run the parameter file will pass in a ; flash. ; ; The official FOTD web site with the image already calculated may ; be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version of the image is at: ; ; ; ; The original annotated FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and steady rain here at Fractal Central, with a few ; stray snowflakes mixed in, made today a day to be forgotten. ; The fractal cats, large Nicholas and small Cassie, forgot the ; day soon after it began, when FL brought out a battery operated ; toy cockroach that gave them great exercise all morning. ; ; The two humans had another typical day in a typical small town, ; wondering where humanity went wrong. The next FOTD, the first ; of a new month, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if everything is an illusion, then I must be an ; illusion also. But what is imagining that I exist? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wild_in_the_Wind { ; time=0:00:55.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=+0.3115167767\ 651029/+1.07581719627323/6.560204e+008/1/-95/0 params=1.5/0/-439.65/0 float=y maxiter=800 inside=0 logmap=100 periodicity=6 colors=000Zpl`ml_jiYgdTcYOXSJQLEJE9C75617A38E59H6A\ L8BO9DSBEVDFZEGaGHeHJhJKlLLoMMsONuPmpSzjQveOrdNmbL\ h`Jc_IZYGUXFUZLU_Q``Wha`obeKkMIjLGiLEhKCgKAfK8eJ6d\ J5cJ4ZM4VO4RR4NT3IV3EY3A_36a4Ac5Ed5If6Mg6Qh7Uj7Yk8\ am8en9io9mqAqrAusCptEltGhtIcuK_uMWuOSuNTrMUpMVnLWl\ LWjKXhKYfJZdJ_bI_`I`ZHaXHbVGcTGcRJaSL`TO_UQYVSXWVW\ XXVY_TZaS_cR`fQahObkNcmMdoLdmNekOeiPegQefRedSebTe`\ UfZVfYWfWXfUYfSZfQ_fP`fRWgSRgTMgUHhVChW7hX2hH3p24x\ 78tBBqFEnKHkOLhSOeXRa`UZdYWi`TmcQqfNuiKseNqbPpZSnW\ UmSXkPZjLahIcgEfeBhd7kb4ma1o`Ci_NdZY_YhV_dTa`RbYPd\ UNfQLgNJiJHjGFjLMjQTjV_jZejcljhsjlyfmvcns`opYpmVqj\ SrgPsdMtaJuZGuWPmeYeofYxe_vd`udbsccrcdqbfoagnail`j\ k`kj_mhZngZpeYqdYrcXoaWl`Vi_UfZTcYS`XRYWQWVPTUOQTN\ NSMKRLHQKEPJBOJ9NODOSHPWKP`OQdSRhVRgugeredocblaai_\ _gZZdXYaVWZTVWRTUQSROQOMPLKOJJMILLHMJGOVsnSrlPrjMq\ gKqeHpcEo`BoZ8nX6nVGq`Psf } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-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|
