The bailout radius has been intentionally set close ; to the point where the entire image will be totally cut off. ; This adds more detail to the scene. The image magnitude of ; almost 10^13 is perilously close to the point of resolution ; breakdown, though this has little effect on the scene. ; ; (Fractint bug alert: if the value of the imag(p1) parameter is ; entered in the parameter file as 1000000000000000 , the program ; reads the value as -1530494976 Changing the parameter file ; entry to 1000000000000000.0 [adding a decimal point and a zero] ; cures the problem. Something else is being picked up, but I ; cannot see what.) ; ; The name "Unlucky Thirteen" refers to the Z^13 corruption of the ; parent fractal. Actually thirteen is considered unlucky because ; it was on a Friday the thirteenth that the order went out to ; destroy the Templars. ; ; The rating of a 7+ indicates my uncertainty as to the true worth ; of the image. ; ; With its calculation time of only 20 seconds, the image is ; another fireball. But setting up and running a parameter file ; is still a minor chore. This nuisance may be eliminated by ; viewing the image on the web sites. ; ; The FOTD fractals are posted on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; High definition versions of the images are posted at: ; ; ; ; All the past FOTD images and discussions are online at: ; ; ; ; Morning clouds broke by mid-afternoon here at Fractal Central, ; letting through just enough sun to raise the temperature to a ; balmy 72F 22C. The fractal cats would have preferred more sun. ; ; The humans spent the day keeping busy, which took little effort. ; A minor political difference at lunch time was settled before it ; grew. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least, it's ; supposed to be posted then. Until whenever, take care, and ; always remember that every argument has two sides. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Unlucky_Thirteen { ; time=0:00:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip center-mag=-1.999079391269402/+0.0000036636302721/\ 8.191939e+012 params=13/1000000000000000.0/\ -12.003665/0 float=y maxiter=300 inside=0 logmap=39 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000A10B20C30D40E51F62G93HC4IG8JMBKSFJ_IId\ MAiP2lT5nW7p_9sbBzeEziGzlIzoKCSREVUGYXI`_KcbMfeE6d\ LDbA0KzzzYg`zA9oFDdJGUNJ6RvARlDRc6PD6J2CGMIEeRHZ_K\ ShNLqPEkLFfHGaEGQTSEfb3tmKWj_7hWUJRHX_SGZRFZREYRCX\ RBWRAWQ9VQAUQATQATQAURAVSUVSUWTUWUUXUUXVUYVUYWUZXc\ ZXc_Yc_Yc`Zc`_ca_ca`cb`mbamcbmcbmdcmddmedmeemfezff\ zggzggzhhzhhziizijzjjzjkzkkzklzlmzlmzmnzmoznoznpzo\ pzoqzprzprzqszqszrtzruzsuzsvztvztwzuxzuxzvysxztvys\ txsrxspwsowrmvrkvriurhuqftqdtqbsq`rq_rpYqpWqpUppTp\ oRooPoohizijzjkzkkzllzmmznmzonzpnzoozopzopznqznqzn\ rznrzmszmszmtzltzluzluzlvzkvzkwzkwzjzqjzsjzukzwjzv\ jzvjzvjzuizuizuiztizthzthzshzshzshzrgzrgzrgzqgzqfz\ qfzpfzpfzpezoezoezoeznezndzndzmdzmdzmczlczlczlczkb\ zkbzkbzkbzjbzjazjaziaziazi`zh`zh`zh`zg_zg_zg_zf_zf\ _zfZzeZzeZzeZzdYzdYzdYzcYzcXzcXzbXzbXzbXzaWzaWzaWz\ `Wz`Vz`Vz_Vz_Vz_WzZVz_Vz_ } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
