It's all in the ; opinion of the beholder. The image is actually a scene in one ; of the spiral patches of yesterday's image, but what we see is ; not a legitimate fractal, it is an image created at a magnitude ; of almost 10^14, which is beyond the range of resolution of the ; Fractint math routine. ; ; This presents difficulties in calculating today's image with ; programs other than Fractint. The resolution breakdown, which ; creates the venitian-blinds effect, is particular to the ; Fractint math routine, and if the parameter file is run under ; other programs, a different image will result. A program using ; a routine with a greater resolution limit will produce an image ; with full resolution, which will be a more accurate image for ; sure, but will miss the particular distortion that is featured ; in today's image. ; ; I chose today's imperfect image to be the FOTD because I have ; never seen such a curious math breakdown before this. Since the ; image is artificial, I could not give it a rating, but this does ; not mean it is totally worthless. ; ; The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes is admittedly slow. The ; web sites will eliminate most of the wait however. ; ; To view the finished image without the wait, check it on the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Enjoy the rendering in hi-def at: ; ; ; ; And don't forget the back FOTD's at: ; ; ; ; A temperature of 68F 20C accompanied by clouds and rain showers ; left today with much to be desired here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats checked the outside conditions once, then found ; more important things to concern themselves with. The big event ; in the human department was a friendly discussion about the ; so-called 'war on women', FL and I taking opposing sides. ; ; Provided a victory is achieved, the next FOTD will be posted ; soon, with the usual omission of a guarantee of promptness. ; Until whenever, take care, and let's stop protesting about a ; thousand minor injustices and organize a protest against the ; greatest injustice of all -- human mortality. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Polite_Breakdown { ; time=0:02:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ceil passes=1 center-mag=-0.6252176735794789/+0.053871922630012\ 61/8.4635e+013/1/-175/0 params=3.14159265358979/0\ /3.14159265358979/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=310 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000mc0jc0gc0dc0ac0Zc0Wc0Tc0Qc0Nc3Kc4Hc4Ec5B\ c59c60_60W70T70P80M80I90F90E80D80B70A7086076066045\ 03530420420480AEJGKOMQSSWXYa`cgeimiopnzrzzrwwqmzpk\ lrihpfcod_mbVl`RkZNc`LWbJOdHGfFFhDKbKPYQUTWZOacIhh\ Dnn8tq3zo4xm4wk5vi5ug6te6sc7ra7q_ApYFoWKnUPnQUnMZz\ KczIhzGmzErzCwzHrzMmzQhzVdzZbzc`zhZulXvqVwuUxnYyha\ ybezXizVgxUewTcvRauQ_tPYsNWrMUqLTpMVnNWlOXjPZiQ_gR\ `eRbdScbTd`Uf_VgYWhWWiVXhTYgSZfR_fQ`ePadNbdMccLdbK\ ebJb`N`_RZZUXYYVX`TWdRVgNSTPOVRKWTHXRIWPIVNIULJTJJ\ SIJSGJREKQCKPAKO9KOBJNCIMEHMFGLHFKIEKKDJLCINBIOAHQ\ 9GR8GT7FU6EV6EU8GT9ISBKSCMREOQFQQHSPUUOUWcUYcU_cUa\ cUchUehTgmUhmRdmU`mUXmUUrUQrUMvUJzUFzUBzU8zU8zU8zU\ 8zc8zc8zc8zc8zc8zc8zh8zm8zr9zvAzzBzzCzzCzzDzzEzzFz\ zGzzGzzHzzIzzJzzKzzKzzUzzbzzlDzzFzzHzzJzzKzzMzzOzz\ QzzRzzTzzVzzXzzYzzXzzWzzVzzUzbTzcSzdRzeQzePzfOzgNz\ hNzhMzgLzfLzfKzeJzeJzdIzd } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
