A closer ; look however reveals areas that are in fact critical, and filled ; with quadratic minibrots. Today's scene lies in the East Valley ; area of a large minibrot in the details surrounding the northern ; bay. ; ; Since the image lies in an East Valley, elephant bits and pieces ; are plentiful. In today's image the curling trunks predominate. ; ; The name "The Richest Elephant" refers to the unusual richness ; of the image's colors. These colors are mostly a lucky accident ; that came about with one tap of the 'enter' key. I did do a bit ; of tweaking however, but the Fractint program still did most of ; the work. ; ; The calculation time of 3 minutes will pass quickly once the ; coarse image appears on the screen. The web sites will give an ; even faster view. ; ; See the finished image instantly on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; See the image in glorious high-definition at: ; ; ; ; See thousands of fractals and deep fractal wisdom at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and steady rain totally spoiled the day here at FC, ; at least for those who work outside. At Fractal Central we do ; our work indoors, so the rain was little more than a curiosity. ; The fractal cats approved of the temperature, which reached 64F ; 18C, and showed their approval by sleeping through most of the ; afternoon. ; ; The humans, FL and I, had another typical day, which satisfies ; us if not those waiting for some fractal excitement. The next ; FOTD will soon be posted. The exact time depends on the meaning ; of the word 'soon'. Until whenever, take care, and true ; rational skeptics never concern themselves with things like ; space aliens or ghosts, except to debunk them. They know that ; it's impossible for any species no matter how intelligent, to ; overcome the astronomical distances. And as for ghosts, the ; skeptics know they are mere natural phenomena mis-interpreted by ; the brain to satisfy the instinctive hope of immortality. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheRichestElephant { ; time=0:03:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.0782754290536429/+0.8313697825048737\ /4.48821e+008/1/-167.5/0 params=0.1/1/11/11/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=183 periodicity=6 colors=000GXmIZnJ_nLanMbnOdnPenRckTaiV_fXZdZXa`V_a\ TXcSVeQSgOQiMNkLLmJInHGpFDrEBtC8vA6x83y71vA2sC3qE4\ nG4lJ5iL6gN6dP7bR8_U9YW9VYAS_BQaBNdCLfDIhEGjEDlFBo\ G8qG6sH3uI1wI0uH0sG0qG0oF0mF0kE0iD0gD0eC0cC0aB0_B1\ Z10YA0W90U90T80R80P70N60L60J50H50F40D40B3092072051\ 031zpzypuvnrtlprjnphlmfjkdhibfg`deZbbY``WZZUXXSVVQ\ TSOQQMOOKMMIKJHIHFGFDEDBCB9A878656434212rVBnTAkR9h\ P9eN8aL7ZK7WI6TG5PE5MC4JA3G93ZELwIWuGUsESqCQkANf9K\ `8IW7FR6DL4AG37A25512yzDvwCtuCrsBpqBmnAklAij9gh9ee\ 8bc8`a7Z_7XX6VV6ST6QR5OO5MM4JK4HI3FF3DD2BB2891661U\ fwRcrO`oNZmMYkLWiKVgJTeIScHRaGP_FOYEMWDLUCJSCIQBHO\ AFM9EK8CI7BG69E58C47A358246124012iAUd9R`8OX7LT6JP5\ GK4DG3AC28815402THYRGWQFUOETNDRMCPKCOJBMHALGAJFAHD\ KGCKEBKC9KB8U96U85U64U42U31U1UcFUcCUcAUc7cc5cc2cm1\ cm0mm0mm0mm0mm0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
