The location is on the northeast ; shore line of the large period-2 bud, near the beginning of ; Seahorse Valley. ; ; I have been discussing such mixed-exponent images with corrupted ; depths so fully in recent FOTD's that there is little left to ; say about them, but whenever I find something I consider worthy ; of mention, I'll report it in the discussion. ; ; The name "Quadratic Pentagon" refers to the quintic corruption, ; which shows itself spectacularly in today's image in both the ; number of elements surrounding the central minibrot and in the ; minibrot itself, which is fully quintic. ; ; The rating of an 8 shows my satisfaction with the image, and ; also my satisfaction with the signs that we might be pulling out ; of the latest fractal drought. ; ; The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes will pass quickly. ; Checking the image on one of the web sites will be equally quick ; and a bit more fun. ; ; The image is posted on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; fully rendered and ready to be enjoyed. ; ; The high-definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The entire FOTD history is online at: ; ; ; ; A sunny morning here at Fractal Central gave way to an afternoon ; of wind-blown clouds. The temperature of 59F 15C felt much ; colder due to the winds. The fractal cats spent much of the day ; in the north window, watching for unwanted cats to pass by. As ; far as we were aware, none ever did. The day of the humans was ; occupied with work, tax stuff, and wondering who decides what ; will make news on the national news channels. ; ; If all goes well, and even if it does not, the next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and why are people ; giving so much attention to such a questionable racial hate ; crime in Florida, when there is such an obvious hate crime in ; Oklahoma that has been almost totally ignored? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Quadratic_Pentagon { ; time=0:02:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip center-mag=-38.96306248304892/+6.418597571913191/\ 4.153201e+010/1/-38.25/0 params=5/50 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=442 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000ePteSrfUpfXngZlgajhciiegihejjcjmako_krYl\ tWlvVhuYes_eqbeodemgekieijegkeeaecSi_KhYJgUIcPHZKG\ SHFNEEHBDC8C75B87A9999B9AD8BE8BG7CI7DK69N1DL6GKBJJ\ GMILPHQSGUVFZYEc`DhcCmfBqeCpeCpeCpeCpeCpeCpeCpeCpe\ CpW_vTavRbvOdvLfvJgvGiuDkuBlu8nu5pu3qz5mz6iz7em8am\ 9VcAIcBCcC7cFDAHIAKNBMSBOXCRbCnejkaZiZNfWBdT09MpKI\ sVEvdBxP5ZA0A8BB6LC4VD2dE1nFAlHIjJQhLYfMZcNZ`NbbUe\ c_hdekeknfqqgwr`tOOLJMODKR8IU3GWhZch_bh`beaabb``b`\ Yc_VcZTdZQdYOeYLeXIfWGfWDgVAiWBgVCeUDdTEbSFaRG_RHY\ QHXPIVOZqRblMfhIjdDn`9nZ6hW9cUCZSFTQIsVqtOntIkoNij\ SgeXf`adWfbRkaMp_IuZGm_Ff_EZ_DS_KgMKeNKdOLbOLaPL_Q\ LZQVWQdTQnRQmU_mXim_sUNaeuwhnvkhvmbvmWumQumKumTmm`\ emiYmL_mCim7hmKimXkmimmwomtmmpjzlhziezecza`zZZzVWz\ RUzNRz`bzonzkgzf`zaUzYNzTGzO9zJ2zJAzJKzJUzJczJmzJz\ zJzzJzzJzzJzzJzzJzzKzzKzzLzzLzzMzzMzzNzzNzzOzyOzzP\ zzPzzQzzQzzRzzSzzUzzWzzYz } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
