The pimple is actually what I ; unofficially call an area of antibifurcation. I checked this ; area because such features often hold unusual and interesting ; minibrots of all orders. ; ; When I saw the brilliant colors from a distance, I named the ; image "Outrageous Colors". Surprisingly, the colors are almost ; totally a production of the under-rated Fractint program, which ; is probably the last DOS program still in somewhat widespread ; use . . . Well, maybe not quite. I still use WordPerfect5.1 for ; DOS to do my writing. ; ; The rating of an outstanding 9 includes a full two points for ; the coloring, even though my own share of the coloring effort is ; worth only 1/2 point or so. I normally do not prefer such ; intense colors, so the 9 rating actually understates the colors. ; ; I will make no effort to describe the image, which must be seen ; to be appreciated. All I can convey in words is to say that the ; image shows an ordinary, everyday cubic minibrot, surrounded by ; the expected cubic 3,9,27... series of elements, all of it ; decorated in the most spectacular array of colors yet to be ; applied to a cubic minibrot. ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes may seem slow while only the ; top blue-gray inch or so of the image appears on the screen, but ; the calculation will seem to speed up drastically when the vivid ; red body of the pattern around the minibrot comes into view. ; ; Check those colors and save time by viewing the finished image ; on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; See the colors in glorious high-definition at: ; ; ; ; See all the past FOTD images on the classic web site at: ; ; ; ; Spring-like conditions continued here at Fractal Central today. ; The skies were cloudy most of the time but the temperature ; reached a very pleasant 68F 20C, which brought satisfaction to ; the hearts of the fractal cats. ; ; FL and I made it through the day without notable incident. We ; are finding less to disagree on while watching the lunch-time ; nonsense that passes as news, though we still get a bit testy ; at times. The cats, always on the extreme political right, ; want what they want, and show their displeasure if they don't ; get it right away. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and what will we do if we run out of ; things to worry about? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Outrageous_Colors { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=JulibrotMulti function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.8724949635327405/+29.73584375063745/\ 9.130298e+009/1/167.8/0 params=3/30/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 maxiter=2200 inside=0 logmap=148 periodicity=6 colors=000_JHcHFgFD00V00U00T00S00R00Q00Q10P20O30N4\ 0M50L60K70J80J90GA0DB0BC08D16E23F31H43J44L45N56P57\ R58T69V6AX6BZ7C`7Db7Ed8Ff8Gg8HeBGdEFcHEbKDaNC_QCZT\ BYWAXZ9Wa8Vd8WeDWfHWgLWhPXhUXiYXjaXkeYkjYlnYmrYnv0\ 0K00K00K00K00K00K00K10K20K30K40K50K60K70K80K90LA0M\ B0NC0OD1PE2QF3RG4SH5TI6UJ7VK8WL9XMAYNC_OE`PFaQHbRJ\ cSLeTMfUOgVQhWSiWTjUYWSbHRf2Tg7UhCViHWiMXjRZkW_l``\ leamjbnocnslTSt70s83s85r87r89r8Bq8Dq8Fp8Ip8Kp8Mo8O\ o8Qn8Sn8Un8WrOPvcJyrDslHnfKi`NdVR_QUVKXQE`L8cG3fL4\ cQ5aU6_Z7Yb7Wg8Tl9RpAPuBTyBXxA`wAdv9hvAmuKrtPwsUxs\ Xyr6Cq6Bp5Ap59o48n47m36m36o2Ap49p69p89qA8rC8sE8tG7\ uI7vK7wM6xP6yS6zV6zY8za9zeAziCzmDzrEwvFrzKoyMlwOiu\ QfsScrUcqWcpYco_cnaclcckecjgckiWhmYko_jq`jsbiuckwa\ hy_izYhzWhzUhzShzKmzOmzRmzUmzYzz`zzczzgzzjzzmzzrzz\ ttzuvzvwzwzzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:JulibrotMulti {; 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)-0.0000000000000000001, c=p+flip(q)+p4, z=r+flip(s)+p5: z=z*z*fn1(z^(aa)+bb)+c |z|< 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
