I returned to CrazyMidgets to ; check its efficiency. What I found is that it draws images that ; differ somewhat from those drawn by the MandAutoCritInZ formula. ; With a little change in the parameters, today's image could have ; been created with the present-day MandAutoCritInZ formula. I ; had an attack of laziness however that prevented me from trying. ; ; Today's image is a hole-filled moth-eaten one that, due to the ; very narrow color palette, exceeds expectations. Considering ; all aspects of the image and formula, I rated the image at an ; everyday 7 -- not bad, but nothing to get excited about either. ; ; The parent fractal is crazy enough even without considering the ; name of the generating formula. I'll not try to describe this ; parent since it is so easily checked. ; ; The name "One Testy Minibrot" indicates that the generating ; formula is only a test on the way to the final version. Or it ; could mean that the minibrot is in a cranky mood. ; ; The calculation time of 3 minutes is brief enough to keep ; everyone happy. The hassle of setting up and running a ; parameter file may be avoided by visiting the web sites. ; ; The official FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; I might soon write an introduction to the world of fractals and ; post it to the official FOTD web site. It would mean a week or ; two break in the (almost) daily string of FOTD's. ; ; High-definition versions of the images are posted at: ; ; ; ; The past FOTD images are online at: ; ; ; ; Heat prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with full sun and ; a temperature of 91F 33C. The cooling showers hinted at for the ; evening failed to arrive. The fractal cats, being inside cats, ; had no trouble with the outside conditions. They did get cranky ; however when we failed to set up their cube complex. The humans ; had a lazy day. The next FOTD will be posted before very long. ; Until then, take care, and let's elect a Mandelbrot fractal as ; our next president. There would be no noticeable change and we ; could always blame it on the Julia fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= One_Testy_Minibrot { ; time=0:03:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=CrazyMidgets passes=1 center-mag=-0.3750831161015855/-0.0037650476415183\ /3.193588e+008/1/85/0 params=3/5/1/0.3 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=109 periodicity=6 colors=0000AP2AM3AJAAGFADKAA6zz4ee2LLzdMVKBGebT69L\ 46E34712L7sW3SUR7gKJmS0sL0zE0B70xcwUKUyWvdLbKAJ7yI\ 5iD3V91F4Bk37W23G1PBoI8bC5Q62DQzlHeW8LG4uP3fI2TC1E\ 68RR5II299GiWRpU`wTdiNgWHkIBnb6ru`_sbIqc959aVvJFTb\ 808K15D02602Ld1FU1AK05A6w33U1qLecFfRA`j5ZAXJ6MC3B6\ uw`fhRTUIEF9EtB7S5mNg`HXPBMC5BZfvQWgHLT8AE`x6Oc4CK\ 2FVxBNh7FU37FJ0IVGhNCXF8M74Bq_NRmIDP9la2_S1XU1Ug0b\ zaJ9JR5w1AB055xMutnbnTbPEJzcaqj2cZ1RN1DB0ZCeH6LCZM\ 6HBwJPhEIU9CF46_udOaRCJDp_UbRMQIFD97M`6GR4BI35913g\ 8D0s90z60S30E0BQ07H038RVfKNWDFL67Aq5xc3hR2UD1FlYkW\ MWGBG9kQ6_J4OD2C6xFihBYU7NF3BCxY8cM4KBwovcYbKHJ2so\ 1SQ`JSRELI9E9472Oq1G_08I6Ke4DS26E4NF2FA1753yaPH9IC\ 6C846423ye6eU3LF0iI0UC0F6Bui8fY5cN2cB1cxIcN9mBvmwg\ mhTmUczFczvczjczfczSczEcz3cz1mztmzemzSmzEmzMmzBmzu\ mzazzJzzAzz6zz3zzYzzHzzyzzizzVzzFzzKzzAzzgzzTzzEzz\ KzzFzzAzz5zzizzbzzJzzozzY } frm:CrazyMidgets {; Jim Muth c=pixel, 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: z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
